<p>mkjobtexmf -- Generate a texmf tree for a particular job</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
<p>The progam <strong>mkjobtexmf</strong> runs a program and tries to
find the used file names. Two methods are available,
option <code>-recorder</code> of TeX (Web2C) or the program <strong>strace</strong>.</p>
<p>Then it generates a directory with a texmf tree. It checks
the found files and tries sort them in this texmf tree.</p>
<p>It can be used for archiving purposes or to speed up
following TeX runs.</p>
<pre>
mkjobtexmf [options]</pre>
<p>This runs TeX that can be configured by options.
Both methods for getting the used file names are available.</p>
<pre>
mkjobtexmf [options] -- <cmd> [args]</pre>
<p>The latter form runs program <em>cmd</em> with arguments <em>args</em>
instead of TeX. As method only program <strong>strace</strong> is available.</p>
<p>Options:</p>
<pre>
--jobname <name> Name of the job (mandatory).
Usually this is the TeX file
without extension
--texname <file> Input file for TeX. Default is the
job name with extension '.tex'
--texopt <option> Option for TeX run
--destdir <directory> Destination directory,
default is `<jobname>.mjt'
--output Add also output files
--strace Use strace instead of TeX's
option -recorder
--copy Copy files instead of creating
symbol links
--flat Junk paths, do not make directories
inside the destination directory
--cmd-tex <cmd> Command for the TeX compiler
--cmd-kpsewhich <cmd> Command for kpsewhich
--cmd-texhash <cmd> Command for texhash
--cmd-strace <cmd> Command for strace
--verbose Verbose output
--help Brief help message
--man Full documentation</pre>
<p>
</p>

<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="running_the_program">Running the program</a></h2>
<p>First <strong>mkjobtexmf</strong> runs a program, usually TeX. The TeX compiler
is configured by option <strong>--cmd-tex</strong>. Option <strong>--texname</strong> can
be used, if the file name extension differs from <em>.tex</em>:</p>
<pre>
mkjobtexmf --jobname foo --texname foo.ltx</pre>
<p>Even more complicate cases are possible:</p>
<pre>
mkjobtexmf --jobname foo --texname '\def\abc{...}\input{foo}'</pre>
<p>If another program than TeX should be used (dvips, ...),
then this program can be given after <code>--</code>:</p>
<pre>
mkjobtexmf --jobname foo -- dvips foo</pre>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="file_recording">File recording</a></h2>
<p>Two methods are available to get the used file names:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="item_recorder_of_tex">Recorder of TeX</a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
Some TeX distributions (e.g. Web2C) support the option <strong>-recorder</strong>
for its TeX compilers. Then the TeX compiler generates a file with
extension <em>.fls</em> that records the used input and output files.
</dd>
<p></p>
<dt><strong><a name="item_program_strace">Program strace</a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
This program traces system calls and signals. It is used here
to log the used files.
</dd>
<p></p></dl>
<p>
</p>
<h2><a name="analyze_and_link_copy_found_files">Analyze and link/copy found files</a></h2>
<p>The result directory <em><em>jobname</em>.mjt</em> is generated. Inside the
result TEXMF tree is created. Each found file is compared against
a list of paths of TEXMF trees. If a match is found, the file is
linked/copied into the TEXMF tree. The list of paths is generated by
program <strong>kpsewhich</strong>.</p>
<p>If the file cannot be mapped to a TEXMF tree and the file is
a relative file name, then it is directly linked/copied into the
result directory <em><em>jobname</em>.mjt</em>. Absolute file names
are not supported and neither paths with links to parent directories.</p>
<p>Symbolic links are created by default. The files are copied
if option --copy is given or symbolic linking is not available.</p>
<p>

future versions.

<dt><strong><a name="item_texmf_2ecnf"><em>texmf.cnf</em></a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
Currently the method with <strong>strace</strong> records this files.
TeX's recorder does not. Useful are <em>texmf.cnf</em> files for
variable settings. Because we have just one TEXMF tree,
the path sections should probably rewritten.
</dd>

They are not stored at all.

<dt><strong><a name="item_collisions">Collisions</a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
The program uses one destination directory and at most
one TEXMF tree for the result. However, the source files
can come from different directories and TEXMF trees.
Therefore name collisions are possible.
</dd>
<dd>
<p>The program follows the strategy not to delete files
in the destination directory. That allows to collect files
from differnt runs. Thus collisions are resolved
in the manner that the first entry that is made in
the destination directory wins.</p>
</dd>

Bugs in TeX's file recording might result in incomplete
file recording (e.g. pdfTeX 1.40.3 does not record .pfb and
