From ebf04404a21733b749edd84b32af1f5f63dfdfe3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Haberkorn Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2015 21:18:34 +0100 Subject: canonicalize $SCITECOCONFIG and $SCITECOPATH variables * this makes them absolute and also resolves links on Unix * macros can now assume the corresponding Q-regs to be absolute * Currently this does not make a big difference since the working directory of the SciTECO process cannot be changed. Once I implement a command to change the working dir, this is essential. --- doc/sciteco.1.in | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/sciteco.1.in b/doc/sciteco.1.in index 077d807..16df9c4 100644 --- a/doc/sciteco.1.in +++ b/doc/sciteco.1.in @@ -168,6 +168,13 @@ On all other platforms (including UNIX/Linux) this variable defaults to the standard library installation path at .BR "@scitecolibdir@" . . +.LP +Both the \fBSCITECOCONFIG\fP and \fBSCITECOPATH\fP environment +variables are canonicalized to absolute paths. +Therefore it is possible to define them relative to the +working directory of \*(ST when it starts up while macros +can work with the corresponding registers to locate files +even when the working directory of \*(ST is changed later on. . .SH FILES . -- cgit v1.2.3
