Make for linux and Mac

To build the PDF version of your thesis, run:

make

This build procedure uses pdflatex with bibtex and will produce thesis.pdf. To use pdflatex with biblatex, you should run:

make BIB_STRATEGY=biblatex

To use XeLaTeX, you should run:

make BUILD_STRATEGY=xelatex

or with biblatex

make BUILD_STRATEGY=xelatex BIB_STRATEGY=biblatex

To use LuaLaTeX, you should run:

make BUILD_STRATEGY=lualatex

or with biblatex

make BUILD_STRATEGY=lualatex BIB_STRATEGY=biblatex

To clean the directory, run:

make clean

Make for windows

just run compile-{BUILD_STRATEGY}-{BIB_STRATEGY}.bat BUILD_STRATEGY can be latex, pdflatex, xelatex or lualatex BIB_STRATEGY can be either biblatex or bibtex
