Hi all,
when i use \useMETAFUNformattrue metapost complains about unknown parameter
"-progname=mpost"
in the logfile i find:
system(mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun colortest-mpgraph)...executed.
i think it must be:
system(mpost -mem=metafun colortest-mpgraph)...executed.
my file contains:
\starttext
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startMPpage
colorcircle(10cm,red,green,blue) ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
I use miktex + pdfetex by Fabrice
is this a bug in texexec.pl?
Greetings
Lutz

this indeed assumes web2c mpost, if needed you can redefine:
\def\executeMPOST#1%
{mpost
\ifcase\interactionmode -int=batchmode \fi
\ifuseMETAFUNformat -progname=mpost -mem=metafun \fi #1}
in your local syst-gen.tex and change it to miktex syntax. Maybe I should
make turn this into a special, and make a miktex driver. Must not forget
this.

eh, then why not use fabrices mpost? Has some nice fixes too [buffer
problems and better randomizer], i think that mpost from web2c can work ok
with miktex.

texexec can be told not to pass the string (for miktex set MpPassString to
"")
