As the subject says, is there one that can do the equivalent of what I
have currently within the latex file below?

%\setbeameroption{hide notes} % Only slides
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right} % Both
%\setbeameroption{show only notes} % Only notes

1. Create a `main.tex` containing all your current file, except:
- `\documentclass[...]{beamer}`,
- the `\setbeameroption{...}` above.
2. Create 3 files:
1. `only-slides.tex` containing only:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[...]{beamer}
\setbeameroption{hide notes}
\input{main}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
2. `both.tex` containing only:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[...]{beamer}
\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}
\input{main}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
┌────
│ \documentclass[...]{beamer}
│ \setbeameroption{show only notes}
│ \input{main}
└────
3. `only-notes.tex` containing only:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass[...]{beamer}
\setbeameroption{hide notes}
\input{main}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
3. Create a `makefile` containing:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
only-slides:
latexmk only-slides
both:
latexmk both
only-notes:
latexmk only-notes
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thank you. This is what I modified it to, which seems to work.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
DOC=ML_CNF
only_slides: clean
latexmk -pdf only_slides
mv only_slides.pdf ${DOC}_only_slides.pdf 2>/dev/null
both: clean
latexmk -pdf both
mv both.pdf ${DOC}_both_slides_notes.pdf 2>/dev/null
only_notes: clean
latexmk -pdf only_notes
mv only_notes.pdf ${DOC}_only_notes.pdf 2>/dev/null

all: clean only_slides both only_notes

clean:
rm -f *.log *.aux *.snm *.nav *.out *.toc *.fls *.fdb_latexmk *.dvi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

though now I have a new issue that I don't know where to look

The only_notes deck has numbering which is going 2 of 1, 3 of 1 etc
instead of 1 of 4, 2 of 4, 3 of 4. The makefile output is below and I
have no idea where the error is. I have no idea why .nav is not
generated.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

I would do something like this:

In the preable ot the tex file put

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newbool{both}
\boolfalse{both}
\newbool{notes}
\boolfalse{notes}
\newbool{slides}
\booltrue{slides}

and

\ifbool{slides}{\setbeameroption{hide notes}}{}
\ifbool{both}{\setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}}{}
\ifbool{slides}{\setbeameroption{show only notes}}{}

and the in the makefile something like

notes: beamerfile.tex
perl -i -p \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{both\}/\\boolfalse\{both\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\booltrue\{slides\}/\\boolfalse\{slides\}/g;' \
-e 's/\\boolfalse\{notes\}/\\booltrue\{notes\}/g;' \
beamerfile.tex
latexmk beamerfile.tex

plus the other two possibilites...

then a

make notes

should do the trick

What happens if you don't clean the `*.nav` files?

Thank you. This too looks like a good way to generate docs.

It is not necessary to actually change the .tex with perl, you can pass
the options via the `pretex` option of latexmk, see e.g. the example in

P.S. if you then also choose different jobnames for the different
options you might avoid some unnecessary recompilations

Sam,

That will also work, but then you need to compile it with pretex every
time, which I sometimes don't.
