How to set path in STY file as relative to this file path












0















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}
usepackage{import}
usepackage{../Base/baseSettings}
begin{document}
...


baseSettings.sty:



ProvidesPackage{baseSettings}
usepackage{geometry}
newgeometry{margin=2.0cm, bottom=3.5cm, top=2.5cm}
usepackage{...}
% HEADER AND FOOTER:
rhead{includegraphics[scale=0.3]{BaseImages/headerImage.jpg}}
rfoot{includegraphics[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 green "play" button to create pds - im not familiar wih all the magic behind.
Is it possible to compile it with command?

    Set the TEXINPUTS environment variable to ssomething ../Base;../Base/BaseImages; and then you should be able to use usepackage{baseSettings} and the images will work. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/149714/….
