[Tex/LaTex] Setting TEXINPUTS in TeXstudio Mac OS X

mactexinputstexstudio

I am a newbie using TeXStudio – and trying to set TEXINPUTS so that LaTeX can recursively search for my figures. I've run

setenv TEXINPUTS :FIGURES//:

at the command line, and then run LaTeX, which worked fine. However, when I try this in TexStudio, it bombs. It looks like setting TEXINPUTS at the command line is not good for TeXStudio. I looked through the TeXStudio documentation, but I can't seem to find how to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK, here is what worked. I am using OS X 10.7.5 (Lion). Apparently, launchctl adds the environment variables without having to log out

launchctl setenv TEXINPUTS :FIGURES//:

To load this on startup create a .launchd.conf file with

setenv TEXINPUTS :FIGURES//:

[Tex/LaTex] Trouble referencing with Bibtex and TeXstudio

I also had this problem. I solved it by setting the path of the bibtex.exe as the following steps:

click the Options menu
click Configuration TeXstudio
click Command and the enter the path of bibtex.exe in your machine, for example its path in my PC is C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/bibtex.exe, you can enter it as follows:
```
"C:/Program Files (x86)/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/bibtex.exe  " %
```

[Tex/LaTex] TexStudio gives ‘Could not start command’ with the custom build script

The reason it wasn't working was that the build.command file didn't contain the first line #!/bin/bash. I'm not sure why it would work from the command line but via TexStudio but there you go.

Thanks to Sean Allred's comment for giving me the inspiration to try this.
