Minimal Makefile for pdflatex bibtex with output-directory

Does someone have a minimal Makefile, that compiles a latex document using
- pdflatex
- bibtex
- pdflatex
- pdflatex
while putting all ouput files in a special output-directory to avoid cluttering the root-directory?

As soon as you mention output-directories, you do know that they make things much more complicated? A few extra files are nothing compared to the extra level of stress you have to make all programs find the files you hid away.

I see. Well that is sad. In my case it's really a mess of a gazillion .mtc .aux .blg .maf .lot .nlo etc pp files :-/. I don't know about arara / latexmk

@mcExchange why do the files matter, I just checked and in the directory I use for writing answers for this site there are currently over 2000 aux files, occasionally Irm *.auxand remove them all but mostly I don't bother and they do no harm. If you move the output from tex to another directory, you need to configure everything else to be able to find them and read them back, it's possible but tricky to get right and serves no great purpose.

Yeah, I'll give up. It's taking too much time already. My project is quite large and involves a lot of files therefore keeping an overview would be nice. A subfolder for compilation would be nice.
