searching in subdirectories with project structure

searching in subdirectories with project structure

[Javier M Mora]

Hi, (this is my first email to the list)

I've created a project for my Thesis. The file tree is:

/prod_thesis/
             /prod_thesis.tex
             /envi_thesis.tex
             /comp_chap1/
                        /comp_chap1.tex
                        /envi_chap1.tex
                        /images/
                               /image1.jpg
                               /image2.jpg
                                 (...)
                        /tables/
                               /table1.tex
                               /table2.tex
                                 (...)
             /comp_chap2/
                        /comp_chap2.tex
                        /envi_chap2.tex
                        /images/
                               /image1b.jpg
                               /image2b.jpg
                                 (...)
                        /tables/
                               /table1b.tex
                               /table2b.tex
                                 (...)

	    (...)

envi_chap1.tex has:

	\startenvironment envi_chap1
	\product prod_thesis
	\usepath[images]
	\usepath[tables]
	\stopenvironment

comp_chap1.tex has:
	\startcomponent comp_chap1.tex
	\product prod_thesis
	\environment envi_chap1

	blah blah blah

	\placefigure[here][fig:img1]{img1}{
		\externalfigure[image1.jpg]
	}

	blah blah blah

	\input tables/table1

	blah blah blah
	\stopcomponent

prod_thesis.tex has:
	\startproduct prod_thesis
	\environment envi_thesis
	
	blah blah blah
	\component comp_chap1
	\component comp_chap2
	(...)

	\stopproduct

and finally, envi_thesis.tex has:
  	\startenvironment envi_thesis

	\usepath[{comp_chap1,comp_chap2}]

	blah (about styles) blah
	\stopenvironment


If I cd into comp_chap1 dir and exec:

	texexec -xtx comp_chap1.tex

the chapter1 is generated without any problem. All images and tables are 
inserted ok. But if I cd into prod_thesis and exec:

	texexec -xtx prod_thesis.tex

all images are replace by "dummy images", and tables are not found 
(raising an error in compilation of document).

In prod_thesis compilation (is it correct to say "compilation of 
document"?), context is looking for file /prod_thesis/tables/table1.tex 
but isn't not looking in /prod_thesis/comp_chap1/tables/table1.tex. I've 
created a copy of tables in /prod_thesis/ and document compiled good. 
But i don't like to pollute prod_thesis directory.


Questions:

What is the canonical way to keep subdirectories of dependencies in a 
component? (to be reused later in product compilation)



I thought \usepath was to indicate where look for input files. I have to 
use "\input tables/table1" to find table 1. \usepath didn't work in 
envi_chap1.tex.

Cheers.

First and second answer:

\input command is a tex command and inserts file as is. It is possible 
to use \component inside another component. \component command obey 
\usepath directive.

I can, at this moment, insert tex files into another tex files and keep
directory dependences. But Images doesn't work yet. :-(

The question is the same (but now for images only).

I answered that. \usepath only works with \component, \product, \project 
and it doesn't work with \input.

These are my ideas and my solution (don't hesitate to comment):

* envi_thesis.tex (environment of product) is the general configuration 
of all chapters: margin size, styles, fonts, and general definitions.

* envi_chap1.tex (environment of component) is specific configuration of 
a chapter: where the images used are, the title in the header.

* If I compile a component, envi_thesis.tex isn't automatically loaded. 
So, it is necessary include a \environment envi_thesis.tex in each 
envi_chapter I have. (there is no infinite loop in circular environment 
calling, because envi_thesis.tex doesn't load component environments)

* All information of directories are defined in environment of 
components, but the reference directory is different when I compile a 
product than a component. So in envi_chapter.tex I have a structure of

   \doifmodeelse{*product}{
     <directory configuration for product>
   }{
     <directory configuration for component>
   }

So, I keep in only one place directory information regardless I compile 
a component or a product.




My solution:

envi_thesis.tex -------------------------------------

\startenvironment envi_thesis

%% PATHS
\usepath[{comp_chapter1,comp_chapter2}]

blah blah blah

\stopenvironment

prod_thesis.tex --------------------------------------

\startproduct prod_thesis
\environment envi_thesis

blah blah

\startbodymatter
   \component comp_chapter1
   \component comp_chapter2
blah blah
\stopbodymatter

\stopproduct

comp_chapter1.tex ------------------------------------

\startcomponent comp_chapter1
\product prod_thesis
\environment envi_chapter1

\chapter{Preprocesado de las piezas}

blah blah blah

\stopcomponent

envi_chapter1.tex -------------------------------------

\startenvironment envi_chapter1
\product prod_thesis
\environment envi_thesis  % <- to get global configuration

%% path
\usepath[tables]

\doifmodeelse{*product} {
   \setupexternalfigures[directory={comp_chapter1/images}]
   other conf
}{
   \setupexternalfigures[directory={images}]
   other conf
}

\stopenvironment


That's all.

Sorry for delay, we were busy with the texlive deadline.
Thank you for your code.

indeed no loop as environments are only loaded once (just like modules)
