[tlbuild] Custom-built xdvipdfmx cannot find pdftex.map on a basic-scheme TDS

[Vadim Kantorov]

Paul,

When I change TEXMFDIST export to "export
TEXMFDIST=$PWD/texlive/texmf-dist:$PWD/texlive/texmf-var", things
start to work. Previously, it did not contain texmf-var.

Now my exports read:
export TEXMFCNF=$PWD/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c
export TEXMFDIST=$PWD/texlive/texmf-dist:$PWD/texlive/texmf-var

Is it sensible? Should temxf-var path belong to TEXMFDIST? Or to some
other env. variable?

Thank you!
Vadim Kantorov
