Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: setuptex.csh usage
Hello, setuptex (sh, bash, ...) has most definitions commented out and to work with the minimals seems to need only to set the PATH. I currently use the minimals for ConTeXt, and TeXlive for LaTeX (for article submission, where I cannot use ConTeXt). Having the minimals in my PATH before TeXlive works fine this way (TeXlive lualatex is found correctly), but it does cause problems with bibtex, for example, where the minimals binary is found first with this PATH. setuptex.csh is less maintained, it appears. I no longer use (t)csh and I see that Mojca and Arthur propose to remove this script. I have no objection, but it does appears from this thread that it is indeed still used. Alan P.S. by the way [concerning the (ba)sh version], I take care of the verbose echo locally, as: if [ -r /usr/local/context/beta/tex/setuptex ]; then if [ x$PS1 == x ] ; then source /usr/local/context/beta/tex/setuptex /dev/null else source /usr/local/context/beta/tex/setuptex fi fi (otherwise this will cause trouble for rsync, for example) so the portion: # for Alan Braslau's server :) if [ x$PS1 != x ] ; then echo Setting \$TEXROOT\ as ConTeXt root. fi can be simplified, if Mojca wishes. :) On Thursday 30 December 2010 20:29:56 Patrick Gundlach wrote: Hi Jon, you should post your question to the mailing list.

Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: setuptex.csh usage
you should post your question to the mailing list. Of course I meant questions _not_ related to the domain contextgarden.net. Those that are should go to the address you used (gardeners at contextgarden.net).

Re: [NTG-context] Fwd: setuptex.csh usage
Its me again, this mail was about setup.csh from the minimals and was addressed to the correct recipients. So my fault for forwarding this to the main mailing list. Sorry for that.
