Hi Andreas,
missing or wrong in texmf.cnf, corrected items below:
BSTINPUTS = .;$TEXMF/bibtex/bst//
# where to look for bibtex8 code sort files
CSFINPUT = .;$TEXMF/bibtex/cfs//
Looking at bibtex8/utils.c, around line 718:
#ifdef KPATHSEA
status = ((full_filespec = kpse_find_file(filename, kpse_bst_format, false)) == NULL);
#else
status = find_file (CSF_INPUT_ENVVAR, CSF_INPUT_PATH,
filename, full_filespec);
#endif
Of course we compile with -DKPATHSEA. Therefore it is correct for the
TL texmf.cnf to only set BSTINPUTS, and for BSTINPUTS to also include
csf files. There is no separate path in kpse for csf, and I don't see a
need for one.
no links in documentation /usr/local/texlive/2009/doc.html to
bibtex8 in /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf/doc/bibtex8
ae in /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/doc/fonts/ae
No documentation exists, that I can see; texdoc -l bibtex8 shows the
readme file, etc. Would you like to write a man page for it? Or maybe
some distro has one?
Thanks,
Karl
