Which is quite a mess, and what is worse, here we test for a feature
that we've also determined elsewhere, and in an unrelated way. No
wonder we're running into trouble. As far as I can tell, we can
trivially ditch this mess by replacing it as follows:

Re: kpesewhich & BeOS (long)
Thomas, I have make the modifications you suggested and they worked. Also, in your message you said: > kpathsea translates search path read from texmf.cnf on unix-like > systemsby replacing ";" -> ":". The unix-defection can be found in > texk/kpathsea/cnf.c: > ... (snip) > > Argh... If only these #ifdef's could be replaced by a proper autoconf > check... I don not know anything about autoconf (yes, yes, shame on me), and maybe I am saying something really really silly but, cannot the PATH variable be checked? If it exists and has the : char as separator, then you can assume unix for kpathsea. Regards, Alberto Molina
Re: kpesewhich & BeOS (long)
Hi there, I have to publicly apologize for the size of the messageĀ--it is ten times bigger than I thought because I made a mistake when checking the lines. It will not happen again and I hope that it has not created too much trouble to anybody. Regards, Alberto Molina

The unix-defection can be found in texk/kpathsea/cnf.c: /* gcc -ansi doesn't predefine `unix', since ANSI forbids it. And AIX generally doesn't predefine unix, who knows why. HP-UX is, of course, also different. Apple's MacOsX is also unix-like. */ #ifndef unix #if defined (__unix__) || defined (_AIX) || defined (_HPUX_SOURCE) #define unix #elif defined (__APPLE__) && defined (__MACH__) #define unix #elif defined (__NetBSD__) #define unix #endif #endif I think that your system needs to be added with an appropriate detection. Note, that the same detection is implemented in texk/dviljk/config.h. To explain why some of your searches work, while others don't: kpathsea has one search path that it never takes from texmf.cnf and that's the search path for texmf.cnf itself. If you say kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf then kpathsea does not search in the "web2c files" search path, but in the path for texmf.cnf (.cnf format). The same happens if you say kpsewhich --format='web2c\ files' fmtutil.cnf or kpsewhich --format='blubber kpathsea does not know' fmtutil.cnf The "web2c files" format (if you don't cripple it by misspelling it with a backslash), however is read via texmf.cnf and there, you are hit by the missing ";" -> ":" translation. Argh... If only these #ifdef's could be replaced by a proper autoconf check... Thomas
Re: kpesewhich & BeOS
Hi, I will answer myself and make a new question: > > Apparently, the command: > > kpsewhich --format='web2c files' $cnf > > cannot find the file $cnf (in this case, fmtutil.cnf). And the file > is > there, under web2c. In fact, if I try to run the command: > > kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf > > I get the correct answer: /boot/apps/tetex/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf. > Well, if I run: kpsewhich --format='web2c\ files' fmtutil.cnf the file is found. So the problem is with the space included in the -- format option. The problem is that I suppose that there can be spaces included in a lot of --format options all over the place, and I would need a global solution. Has anybody else solved a similar issue? Any suggestion? Regards, Alberto Molina
