New tree in minimal context

New tree in minimal context

[Mikael Persson]

Hello all,

I am trying the minimal ConTeXt distribution. Ok, so I downloaded

justtex.zip

and

linuztex.zip

to /tex...

and followed the instructions and all worked out well. However, I have
another tree I want to use aswell, say /usr/local/texmf-wolfram.
However, when I add entries in one of the following:

/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/tex/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf
/tex/texmf-local/web2c/context.cnf

like:

TEXMFWOLFRAM = /usr/local/texmf-wolfram

and then add to TEXMF the TEXMFWOLFRAM

TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFCONFIG,!!$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST,$TEXMFWOLFRAM}

the new tree is still not found when doing a mktexlsr. It just shows:
mktexlsr: Updating /tex/texmf/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /tex/texmf-extra/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /tex/texmf-fonts/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /tex/texmf-linux/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Updating /tex/texmf-local/ls-R...
mktexlsr: Done.

So, where should I add a new tree? (is it possible in the minimal
version?) The procedure I did above worked well for TeXLive 2004.

Best regards, Mikael Persson

you should patch the 'setuptex' script in teh root of the minimal tree; env vars overload settings in texmf.cnf 

another option is to: 

export TEXMFPROJECT = /usr/local/texmf-wolfram

since this is what the project entry is for
