Using Makefile within TexShop

This is a very important setting for me. Makefile can help me to maintain and compile LaTex files. Just using TexShop's preferences/misc/latex program --> set it as 'Make'. Then, change to /usr/texbin, create the 'Make' as follows:

#!/bin/bash
make

change the read-write-execute to 755 to /usr/texbin/Make
That's all.
