It uses it, as the output below shows. >> AUCTeX calls kpsewhich to figure this out.

On the contrary. It succeeds and shows you were the TEXMFLOCAL tree is located. Your d:/localtexmf is actually a personal (per user) tree. That means it shouldn't be part of `TeX-macro-global' but rather of `TeX-macro-private'. > As I already wrote all texmf trees known to MiKTeX can be found in the > output of 'initexmf --report': > >> [...] >> Root0: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\unknown\Anwendungsdaten\MiKTeX\2.5 >> Root1: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\unknown\Lokale >> Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\MiKTeX\2.5 >> Root2: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\MiKTeX\2.5 >> Root3: D:\localtexmf >> Root4: D:\texmf >> [...] Apart from reporting all sort of unrelated junk it lists personal trees as well, which is undesirable for `TeX-macro-global'. > To summarize: With MiKTeX AUCTeX doesn't see all texmf trees available. > After all I've been able to set TEX-macro-global manually.

If MiKTeX provided a clean interface returning global and personal trees ... -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
