They do use linux conventions (like using / as path delimiter instead of \, which is used on windows), but cygwin uses this conventions too. It also would be the like for a native windows TeX distribution (like MikTeX). > I have no idea where to even physically put the files, let alone how to edit > this path where ever it is to include them. you need to check where your LaTeX distribution has put its files. For example, on my box (not cygwin) the unicode files reside in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/unicode/. In that case, /usr/share/texmf is a path LaTeX searches. To not mess up that path the packages are separated in directories. You can simply put the files in there (or use the same path as my box does, if your TeX uses /usr/share/texmf). Afterwards you need to update TeX file database by running "texhash". Remember that you need to do this from within cygwin, not from windows' explorer. Oh, and "somewhere in your TeX path" means that you also could simply put the files (flat, without a tree) to the folder from where the manual gets build -- the current directory also gets searched. - Dominik Received on 2008-02-23 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
