  Obviously this command line (which looks quite strange to me) does
not compile the format; it tries to run ConTeXt Mark IV directly. It
seems that you have concatenated two legitimate command lines ;-) Try:

	luatools --generate
	luatools --ini --compile --verbose cont-en

  Yes, quite a bit, for ConTeXt above all; as a minimum, TEXMFCNF and TEXMF.
Otherwise you can have a look at Hans' setuptex in the minimal
distributions: linuxtex.zip, macosxtex.zip, etc. setuptex is a shell script,
so all you have to do is source it (and forget about the other
executables in the zip file since you can't use them anyway).

  It's a typo (look at the literal \start ... \stoptyping that surrounds
it -- well, surrounded, since I have fixed it).

>    So there is still something missing, I will look at the setuptex files.

  Yes, I know this one; this is definitely an environment problem and
setuptex should help you.
