Unrelated - how exactly do I set TEXMFCACHE to be in texmf-cache alongside other texmf trees? I have tried (I know that this cannot work): TEXMFCACHE = '$TEXROOT/texmf-cache', but TEXROOT is probably unknown anyway
I forgot to finish the sentence:
with this setting I get

every time, independent on whether I answer with yes or no. And everytime cache is generated under $HOME/luatex-cache. I guess that $TOXROOT is simply empty and /texmf-cache is not writable by me.
indeed, TEXROOT is an internal setuptex variable; actually, the only thing that setuptex sets up is TEXMF, TEXMFCNF, TEXFORMATS and TEXMFCACHE; the rest is nilling interfering variables and a few intermedia ones that save typing (TEXOS, TEXROOT) in the path bases variant, you cannot use TEXOS and TEXROOT since they don't exist; you can try TEXMFCACHE=/tmp ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
