Asymptote: globally define latexmkrc

Question

In section 7 of the Asymptote manual is suggested that for a better use of the LaTeX integration via latexmk one need to put the file latexmkrc into the folder of its own *.tex file. However I was wandering if it was possible to define this command globally in latexmk avoiding to put the file latexmkrc every time it is needed.

Answer 1

Rename your file .latexmkrc instead of latexmkrc and put it in your user home directory. For more options and more details, see the section "Configuration/Initialization (RC) Files" in the latexmk manual. (As of this writing, that section starts at the bottom of page 12.)
