Shouldn't local have some precedence over texmf? (Maybe I'm wrong.)
Just a side note:
Here I have the cnf file under
/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.cnf
The binaries are under
/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1
but I didn't test it on gwTeX yet.
The main idea - cnf file will be overwritten by every update if it's
only in texmf/web2c. The user needs to be able to put it either to
texmf-local or to the top (at the same level where setuptex is), and
that one needs to have precedence over the one in texmf.
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
Maybe it's still respecting the order in
TEXMFCACHE = $TMP;$TEMP;$TMPDIR;$TEMPDIR;$HOME;$TEXMFVAR;$VARTEXMF;.
from texmf.cnf, and $TMP doesn't exist on mac, so home is the first
existing folder (where I hate to keep the cache - it should at least
have a preceeding dot then).
The only problem with mkii: basically works, but texexec --make puts
formats under texmf-context and the kpathsea doesn't find them for
some reason. If format is put under texmf-engine/web2c, everything
works out of the box afterwards (with only path variable being set).
