== What == The "mjo" beamer theme I use in all of my presentations. It started as the beamer-umbc theme that I used at UMBC, which in turn was based on my old Towson University theme. (Thankfully, both schools have the same colors.) == How == In the makefile of your project, you should list all of the pieces of the theme. For example, BEAMERMJO = beamercolorthememjo.sty beamerfontthememjo.sty BEAMERMJO += beamerinnerthememjo.sty beamerouterthememjo.sty BEAMERMJO += beamerthememjo.sty The absolute paths to those libraries, on your system, can be found using "kpsewhich" from the kpathsea suite: BEAMERMJOPATHS = $(shell kpsewhich $(BEAMERMJO)) Now add those as dependencies of your document: example.pdf: example.tex example.bbl ... $(BEAMERMJOPATHS) WARNING: This will only work as long as the path to beamer-mjo is in your $TEXINPUTS environment variable! I suggest setting it in ~/.bashrc.
