  • Then list them out individually in that case. My answer is edited to reflect that Commented Jun 28, 2021 at 4:05
  • Thanks. Still I find a problem because I have to modify the makefile everytime I want to run texi2pdf on a different file. Commented Jun 28, 2021 at 4:14
  • If you don't want to touch the Makefile, then supply the .texi files to make from the command line in that case. Commented Jun 28, 2021 at 4:26
