How to set path in STY file as relative to this file path
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I need to write several documents (mainBook1.tex, mainBook2.tex,..), all with the same layout. So basically I moved all common settings to outer file (baseSettings.sty) extension, which is pleaced in other path from docs main TeX files. See my files tree:
+-Documents
+-Base
| +-baseSettings.sty
| +-BaseImages
| +-headerImage.jpg
| +-footerImage.jpg
+-Book1
| +-mainBook1.tex
+-Book2
+-mainBook2.tex
mainBook1.tex:
documentclass[12pt]article
usepackageimport
usepackage../Base/baseSettings
begindocument
...
baseSettings.sty:
ProvidesPackagebaseSettings
usepackagegeometry
newgeometrymargin=2.0cm, bottom=3.5cm, top=2.5cm
usepackage...
% HEADER AND FOOTER:
rheadincludegraphics[scale=0.3]BaseImages/headerImage.jpg
rfootincludegraphics[scale=0.2,valign=c]BaseImages/footerImage.jpg
...
And problem is, that those .jpg files cant be found. If I move folder BaseImages into Book1 folder, everything works fine. But I would like to have base images stored only once.
So the question is: How to set those paths in .sty file as relative from this file?
I use: MiKTeX with TeXworks. I just press the Typeset button to create PDFs – I'm not familiar wih all the magic behind.
Is it possible to compile it with command?

Set theTEXINPUTSenvironment variable to ssomething../Base;../Base/BaseImages;and then you should be able to useusepackagebaseSettingsand the images will work. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/149714/….

Set theTEXINPUTSenvironment variable to ssomething../Base;../Base/BaseImages;and then you should be able to useusepackagebaseSettingsand the images will work. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/149714/….

You should never use a path with usepackage just use usepackagebaseSettings and it's usually more portable to omit the path from includegraphics as well, so includegraphics[scale=0.3]headerImage then just arrange that Base// is in the tex input path and any files anywhere below that will be found.
TEXINPUTS=Base//: pdflatex mainBook1
would work for example if you have a bash or similar command line, but normally you would set the default TEXINPUTS elsewhere.
