running Sublime Text build with latex instead of pdflatex from LaTeXTools plugin - build

Question

In the build file supplied with the LatexTools plugin for Sublime Text, I modified the statement
"cmd": ["latexmk", "-e", "\\$pdflatex = 'pdflatex %O -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 %S'", "-f", "-pdf"]
by replacing the second instance of pdflatex with latex.
My question is, how do I specify whether I want to use "dvipdfm" or "dvi2ps + ps2pdf".
If someone could provide a sample build file for this purpose, that would be most helpful.

Answer 1

After a bit of trial and error, I finally have the following build file working correctly. This allows me to choose between pdflatex and latex, and also choose between dvipdfm and the alternative of "dvi2ps + ps2pdf"
// Compilation settings
// ====================
//
// The actual magic happens in the make_pdf command
// I stick to the format of standard ST2 sublime-build files
// with minor variations.
// NOTE: the viewer is NOT configured from here!
// As of 5/24/11, it cannot be changed, but I will introduce a setting later
{
// General settings; DO NOT MODIFY!!!
"target": "make_pdf",
"selector": "text.tex.latex",
//-----------------------
// Linux-specific settings
// ----------------------
// If linux/os variable is used, then command palette does not show variant names
// Linux texification settings
// -------------------------
// Personalize this, IF you know what you are doing!
// e.g. change 'pdflatex...' to 'xelatex...'
// Refer to the documentation for latexmk
//
// Note: do NOT include $file or similar!!!
// Only configure the compilation parameters you need, MINUS the
// actual file to be compiled
//
// By default, latexmk is told to use pdflatex, with synctex on for
// backward/forward search, forcing compilation (e.g. even if no bib file is found)
// and producing pdf rather than dvi output
