Generating formats.

[Eduardo Cassiraga]

Hi:

I am trying to install ConTexT system on my PC. My TeX system is MikTeX and 
I use Windows 2000. However it's imposible to me generate the formats. When 
I type the command for that the system answer to me as follow:

C:\tmp>texexec --make en

  TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002

! You have to increase POOLSIZE.

             TeX binary : pdfetex
              format(s) : en


         total run time : 0 seconds

Can anybody to help me, please?

Hi Eduardo,

I do not know, which date your MikTex configuration has. It is well known,
dat the memory allocations needed have grown in the past. ....

Please look in the diectory texmf-var/web2c. There you will find a file
named texmf.cnf
You can edit this file with your text-editor.
Memory allocations are prepared in different locations for different tex
environments like pdftex, context, latex etc.

I am running texlife 7 (2002). My texmf.cnf file has the following values
vor pdftex and context. Herewith it runs smoothly.

main_memory = 1500000
param_size= 1500
stack_size= 30000
hash_extra= 5000
string_vacancies= 4500
pool_free= 4750
nest_size= 500
save_size= 5000
pool_size= 5000
max_strings= 65000

main_memory.mf           =  800000
main_memory.mpost = 1000000
pool_size.mpost = 500000

buf_size.context         =  200000 % needed for omega bug
extra_mem_bot.context    = 4000000
extra_mem_top.context    = 2000000
font_mem_size.context    =  500000
hash_extra.context       =   500000
main_memory.context      = 15000000
max_strings.context      =  100000
nest_size.context        =     500
obj_tab_size.context     =  300000
param_size.context       =    5000
pool_free.context        =   47500
pool_size.context        = 1500000
save_size.context        =   50000
stack_size.context       = 1500000
string_vacancies.context =   90000


main_memory.pdfetex      = 1500000 % 1000000 bot/top
hash_extra.pdfetex       =   50000
pool_size.pdfetex        = 1000000
string_vacancies.pdfetex =   90000
max_strings.pdfetex      =  100000
pool_free.pdfetex        =   47500
nest_size.pdfetex        =     500
param_size.pdfetex       =    5000
save_size.pdfetex        =   50000
stack_size.pdfetex       =  500000
obj_tab_size.pdfetex     =  256000


I hope this will solve your problems.
Kind regards Willi Egger

Find your miktex.ini configuration file, and in the [ConTeXt]
section add the line

pool_size=1000000

Make sure you're modifying the correct miktex.ini (if you have
two, you should change the one in the local texmf tree). Also make
sure that your texexec.ini file has --appname=context among the
parameters passed to the compiler
