i use cpp's #define to choose which journal style I want to adopt. Just for simplicity. I can even choose to compile using
native latex that uses eps figures or pdflatex that uses any non-eps figures (such as png, pdf, ..)
I don't want cpp to be too smart to reinterpret the latex commands.
I still don't understand what you are doing. I am sure that I'm not the only one here that has never used Latex, but I have seen it used. I don't think "compile" has the same meaning as when compiling source code that will eventually become executable.
If cpp (C preprocessor) encounters a Latex source file, what would you expect it to do with it? ( I would expect it to fail with along list of error messages)
