Research direction
Inspect the Makefile example and EPFLreport.sty, starting at the fixed \addbibresource{thesis.bib} line. Check how the name variable is used when thesis.tex and thesis.bib are renamed, then verify that changing the variable to report lets the document build successfully with rubber.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Here:
name=thesis
all: *.tex *.bib
rubber --pdf $(name).tex
clean:
rubber --clean --pdf $(name).tex
This implies that one can change the name variable to get a differently named document, e.g. changing to name=report and then doing:
mv thesis.tex report.tex
mv thesis.bib report.bib
make
But this does not work because of
\addbibresource{thesis.bib}
in EPFLreport.sty
