E.g. if TEXINPUT is set to a big tree, TeX will look through that for every file. (I had TEXINPUT.lualatex set for a LaTeX project and it increased processing time with that engine by minutes.)
It's TEXINPIUTS, plural, right? Anyway:
Let’s agree on TEXINPUTS ;)
mtxrun --configurations
will show you where the configuration files are looked for. There you see how TEXMF is configured, like
TEXMF = "{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!! $TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMODULES,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!! $TEXMFSYSTEM,!!$TEXMFMAIN}",
You can prefix $TEXMFHOME by !! and it then will get hashed (mtxrun -- generate).
Ah, I didn’t know that.
However, I never use that HOME one and actually nil it. All project files go into texmf-project and extra fonts in texmf-fonts.
I prefer TEXMFHOME for my own stuff to keep it out of my set of LMTX installations. BTW, John: I’m still working on a 2013 Mac mini most of the time. My other computers are two laptops running Debian/GNOME from 2012 and 2019. Hraban
