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?






packages relative

    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/….

4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell".
