A problem with HOMETEXMF

A problem with HOMETEXMF

[Jean Magnan de Bornier]

Hi all,
I have set HOMETEXMF in my setupex file, and the path is normally
recognized:

13:25 jean@boldair /home/jean % echo $HOMETEXMF                  
/home/jean/texmf

Luatex sees it:
13:25 jean@boldair /home/jean % luatools --expand-path HOMETEXMF 
/home/jean/texmf

(not if I write $HOMETEXMF ??)

But luatex does not find files there:

13:35 jean@boldair /home/jean % luatools --find-file t-tikz.tex  
<blank>

I have tried to set TEXMFHOME but got the same result. Please can anybody
explain these variables and how they work with luatex or point to some
documentation?

Here is what I've put in my ~/.bashrc :

### Variable pour ConTeXt et LuaTeX ###
export MYTEXMF=/usr/share/texmf
export TEXMFCNF=$MYTEXMF/web2c
export TEXMFCACHE=$HOME/.texmf-cache
export LUAINPUTS=$MYTEXMF/tex/context/base:$MYTEXMF/script/context/lua

export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/otf # pour la gestion des polices
otf qui ne sont pas dans le rep texmf ne fonctionne pas ?

alias lux='texexec --lua' # raccourcis pour flémard


Hope it help,
Olivier.

Hello Jean,

You need to add that variable to the list of TEXMF trees as well:
   export TEXMF='{$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,...,!!$TEXMFMAIN}'
just put it somewhere inbetween, possibly near beginning. (Maybe we
need to add it there by default.)
