I have a project directory and within the project directory a package in a local texmf-tree. As the project resides in a repository and is compiled on different computers, I would like to have a compile command that first sets the TEXMFHOME variable and then executes pdflatex. Last, I use texstudio v2.10.8. How could I get this working?
In my real scenario I want the packages also to be found in multiple tex-files located in subfolders. Hence, the use of TEXMFHOME.
MWE
I have a file main.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{foo}
\begin{document}
\foo
\end{document}
and foo.sty in texmf/tex/latex/
\newcommand{\foo}{c}
Also, a file Makefile with content
MAIN=main
compile:
export TEXMFHOME=./texmf/
pdflatex $(MAIN).tex
.PHONY: clean force once all
From command line it works as expected. If I execute /usr/bin/make from texstudio it does not find foo.sty.
makeor shell question (perhaps TeXstudio uses/bin/shwhich may or may not be the same as/bin/bash). Have you triedTEXMFHOME=./texmf/ pdflatex $(MAIN).texall on one line? Alternatively, three lines ofTEXMFHOME=./texmf/,export TEXMFHOME,pdflatex $(MAIN).tex?TEXMFHOME=./texmf/ pdflatex $(MAIN).texseems to work. Do you have any ideas why that would work? I mean, usually I would use;to sequentialize commands. But then it does not work when calling fromtexstudio.makeit uses/bin/shand from command line/bin/bash. Also, the three line version did not work from withintexstudio.../bin/shas the default shell. If/bin/shis a symlink to bash, it'll behave like this. If it's a symlink to dash as I suspect, then bash-specific commands likeexport N=vwon't work, any more than\newcommandwould work with regular TeX.export LC_ALL="en_US"; lualatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.texbut it won't work. I need to setLC_ALL="en_US"in TeXStudio environment before running LuaLaTeX.
