Re: [dev-context] context program, mtxrun question?

few? afaik all windows and linux systems -)

No :-) I have to insist like one year ago, *no* Linux machine I have an account on does set TMP or TEMP (using various distributions). Maybe that's a shell problem, I don't know, but on any case you can't rely on it.

anyhow, taco and i decided now to default as follows: if CACHEPATH is not set:

cachepath = os.env["TEXMFCACHE"] or os.env["TMP"] or os.env["TEMP"] or os.env["TMPDIR"] or os.get["HOME"] or os.env["HOMEPATH"] or nil

Sounds reasonable, but why not test for the existence of the /tmp directory also? Arthur
