I had tried running texexec --pdf present based on a simple context example I
saw on the pdftex mailing list.  I am running RedHat 5.2 with TeTeX 1.0-1 which
I rebuilt from the source RPM.

I got errors saying that cont-en.efmt did not exist, so I looked at the
readme.pdf and found that I might have to compile this using 'texexec --make
en' after fmtutil --edit to enable context for cont-en, which is disabled in
the teTeX RPM I got.

When I try 'texexec --make en' I get errors like this:

--------------------------------
...
line 171: inserting E-TEX code etex.src etexdefs.lib
! I can't find file `etex.src'.
l.183   \normalinput     etex.src 
                                  \relax
Please type another input file name: 
! Emergency stop.
l.183   \normalinput     etex.src 
                                  \relax
No pages of output.
Transcript written on cont-en.log.
fmtutil: `pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini' failed.

            executable : pdfetex
             format(s) : en

...
--------------------------------

etex.src and etesdefs.lib exist on my system under my /usr/share/texmf tree and
I ran texhash just in case, but no help.

I am very much a pdftex newbie, let alone new to Context, but any help would be
appreciated.

[cc to Thomas Esser: Thomas, can you check if the etex path is in the
context input paths? And, is the current redhat distribution fully
original tetex, or do they still change bits and pieces?)

This is strange but has nothing to do with context. One possible reason
is that in texmf.cnf, in the context input path, the etex path is not
included. (This has been reported before.)

If this fails, you can try to run 'normal pdftex': 

  texexec --tex=pdftex --make en 

(in texexec.ini you can also change the pdfetex into pdftex)

Well, if you can generate formats and understand these problems, you are
already near to a guru in the tex world.

Hi,

> > When I try 'texexec --make en' I get errors like this:
I used teTeX 1.0.6 (with ConTeXt) and copied then the context files to the texmf
tree (including the move of the three perl scripts to the teTeX-bin directory).

I didn't use texexec --make but:
  fmtutil --edit
remove the '#' before  cont-en etc.
  fmtutil --missing
or altenativly:
  fmtutil --byfmt cont-en  (and the other cont-* if needed)
Maybe:
  texlinks

Tobias

PS: Hopefully Thomas Esser will soon release an updated teTeX, which includes a
new LaTeX and ConTeXt (see discussion at tetex mailing lists), this will
(unfortunally) probably not include an updated pdf(e)tex.

Thanks, this worked fine (I think!)  See my later comments on lots of
'skipping' messages.

Thank you for the compliment (blush) but far from it.

Now that I got the efmt built I tried to run my sample comtext doc again and ran into problems:

document is:
---------

\starttext 

\useenvironment[green] % the so called 'green' presentation

\Topics{How about this} 

\Topic{Number One} 

\startitemize
\item Help
\item This 
\item Is
\item Complicated
\stopitemize

\Topic{Number Two}

Or maybe not that complicated at all. 

\stoptext 
--------- 

when I run this with 'texexec --pdf present' I get:
-----------------------------

? 

-----------------------------
so it looks as if it does not understand the \useenvironment command.

This may be because I am using context that shipped with teTeX 1.0.1 rpm.  I
tried downloading the newest cont-tmf.zip and loading that over the existing
context portion of /usr/share/texmf/context, but that broke because it was
expecting a newer version of pdftex, which I have not figured out how to update
within my current teTeX install without breaking it!  Reloaded my tetex RPM's
and got started again!

I _did_ notice a lot of 'skipping' messages when I built my cont-en.efmt, but
did not know if these were normal or not.  I have attached a log of the efmt
creation to this mail.

I included all the output from my test so people could see the versions of
pdftex and context I am using.

This package is based on Plain TeX. It uses an adapted version of the
extended mark mechanism of J. Fox (1987) and a few parts of the sidefloat
mechanism of D. Comenetz (1993). Most of D.E. Knuth's Plain TeX
(3.1415926) is available and can be used without problems. This package
uses TaBlE, a package designed and copyrighted by M.J. Wichura (1988).
Only a few auxiliary files are generated, of which some must be processed
by TeXUtil (1998.12.20). The current blockversion is 1996.03.10.

This is ok. I load plain tex first but without fonts. While loading
\font is redefined.

This should be

 \usemodule[green] 

Sorry for the error.

My error. It should run now. 

Beware, the green style uses some MP graphics. If things are ok, MP is
run automatically by texexec. 

You can make a local cont-sys.tex file saying: 

  \runMPgraphicstrue

but then you need to enable \write18 in the texmf.cnf file

(it makes sense to learn MP, much fun!)

As my boss once told me, you are the only one qualified to make that error!

I saw the rest of your comments on MetaPost, and while I have used it as a
stand-alone tool to draw a logo, I have not used it much inside of TeX.  Please
let me know if the errors I am seeing are possibly due to that.

I tried to rgrep the context portion of the texmf tree for green, but did not
find anything like m-green, s-green, or p-green.  I assume these have to do
with the output formats: presentation or printed??

Sorry for all the questions, but ConTeXt seems really worth the work to learn!

Well the reson is clear: s-green.tex isn't there,
Have a look at the documentation at http://www.pragma-ade.nl/styles.htm
and you realize that green is the second style. So try:
  \usemodule[pre-02]
I'm sure it will soon be possible to use green, but the version as of 20th of
August doesn't supply this name/alias. (Hm maybe I don't use this version but an
older one? Never trust SuSE 6.1->6.2 updates.)

> find anything like m-green, s-green, or p-green.  I assume these have to do
m- is module, s- style (?) and p- I don't know.

(btw: you might need to change s-pre-02.tex, I for instance don't have Lucida
fonts, so I need to change this:
- \setupbodyfont[lbr,14.4pt]
+ \setupbodyfont[14.4pt]

(Moreover the MP stuff doesn't work, but I suspect this is due to the 6.1->6.2
suse update)

I prefer the prefix: pre-green 

You can map file yourself (cont-sys,tex): 

\definefilesynonym[green][s-pre-02]

> - \setupbodyfont[lbr,14.4pt]
> + \setupbodyfont[14.4pt]

Ah, how about adding : 

\definefilesynonym[font-lbr][font-forgetaboutit]

to cont-sys.tex? 

> (Moreover the MP stuff doesn't work, but I suspect this is due to the 6.1->6.2

How can? Does mpost not run at all? does \write18 not work? etc etc? 

Hans

Ah, another error of mine. That comes from keying in and not testing. 

\usemodule[pre-green]

There are six styles: pre-01 upto pre-06 (I already have 13 here). 

These are mapped onto more logical names (see cont-fil.tex).

You will see that soon enough. You can embed mp in context documents,
like 

\startMPgraphic 
  mp code 
\stopMPgraphics 

(btw, in 1999-003.pdf you can see how mp is used to do flow charts, and
in 1998-002.pdf mp does the chemical drawings).

Still my error.
