Naively, I thought that the --tempdir option would allow the 'temporary' files created/updated at a run of texexec be written to whatever is given as --tempdir=/dir/, but it doesn't work, the files remain in the current directory. Additionally, --output seems to disallow the output be put into another directory (it's always put into `pwd`). Is there a (better?) way to specify where these files should go?
currently not, an option like that is doable but would involve both an patch to context itself (runtime locating files) and texexec (inbetween/postprocessing) [pretty fuzzy btw]
I see.
if it's because of the temp files. you can run with --purge and get them removed
Well, then Context could not benefit from "incremental" builds with just one run instead of 4 to 5 runs. But I get the idea.
eh ... the tuo file is kept
Maybe for this task, --purge is reasonable enough. I'll give it a try.
that's indeed the best way to go; btw, here i only version tex files Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
