* A separate abstract with thesis title and author name, along with the titlepage can be generated by passing the argument `abstract` to the document class.
## Building your thesis
### Using the Make File (Unix/Linux)
The template supports PDF, DVI and PS formats. All three formats can be generated
with the provided `Makefile`.
To build the `PDF` version of your thesis, run:
make
or
./makepdf
This build procedure uses `pdflatex` and will produce `thesis.pdf`.
To produce `DVI` and `PS` versions of your document, you should run:
./makeps
or
make BUILD_STRATEGY=latex
This will use the `latex` command to build the document and will produce
`thesis.dvi`, `thesis.ps` and `thesis.pdf` documents. You will need psutils installed
Clean unwanted files
To clean unwanted clutter (all LaTeX auto-generated files), run:
make clean
__Note__: the `Makefile` itself is take from and maintained at
[here](http://code.google.com/p/latex-makefile/).
### Shell script for PDFLaTeX (Unix/Linux)
Usage: `sh ./compile-thesis.sh [OPTIONS] [filename]`
[option] compile: Compiles the PhD Thesis
[option] clean: removes temporary files - no filename required
### Using the Batch file on Windows (PDFLaTeX)
* Open command prompt and navigate to the directory with the tex file. Run:
`compile-thesis-windows.bat`.
* Alternatively, double click on `compile-thesis-windows.bat`
