Ok, I do it like this: build_format_if_format_exists () { v=`kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSVAR` || return 0 c=`kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSCONFIG` || return 0 TEXMFVAR="$v" TEXMFCONFIG="$c" export TEXMFVAR TEXMFCONFIG if kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then fmtcnffile=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf` else return 0 fi ... What do you think? (No, I don't want tex-common or something else to depend on, some people only want to run makeinfo without any tex stuff) Best wishes Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Norbert Preining <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Università di Siena Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian TeX Group gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. --- One of the laws of computers and programming revealed. --- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
