echo ":::: CLEAN BUILD OF $1 ::::"

cd "$(dirname "$0")" # go into directory of script

Where do you run this code?

Oh gosh, this must be some old script; I think I used it for my PhD thesis, since it also builds bibliography, index, and nomenclature. Or do you mean, how to run it? It should work on Linux or Mac from the terminal. Like ./mkpdf.sh my-document when my-document.tex is the main latex document. Assuming a normal tex distribution (TexLive) is installed
