Broken pdfs and many tools don't work

Broken pdfs and many tools don't work

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

Curiouser and curiouser :)

I've deleted @echo off from mtxrun.cmd, and what it shows:

I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>mtxrun.cmd --script cache

I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>setlocal

I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>set ownpath=I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\

I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>texlua "I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua
" --script cache
Error in lua file loading: cannot open : No such file or directory

I:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin>endlocal


The texlua complains has completely no sense, since mtxrun.lua file DOES exist at that location. Or what is it looking for?

  My guess would be that texlua is interpreting the first line of
mtxrun.lua (#!/usr/bin/env texlua) and protests because it can't find
/usr/bin/env (quite understandably).  What if you remove that line
altogether?

This is possibly caused by lack of a LUAINPUTS environment (or
texmf.ncf) variable. I have this:

LUAINPUTS=.;$TEXMF/tex/context/base;$TEXMF/scripts/context/lua

This is the sort of error you get when texexec is running
under miktex but thinks it is running under texlive. I do
not know how to fix that, just a bit of extra information
for someone else.

Best wishes,
Taco

Broken pdfs and many tools don't work

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

I'm struggling with getting new updated to work (it now produces broken pdfs), and found, as a side effect,  that mtxrun doesn't work:

c:\>mtxrun --script cache             Error in lua file loading: cannot open : No such file or directory


And another hint: while --make --luatex (seemingly) succeeds, --make fails:
...
pdftex: unrecognized option `-tcx=natural.tcx'
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4 (Web2C 7.5.6)
 \write18 enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdftex.fmt
I can't find the format file `pdftex.fmt'!

What could it be, if my env. vars are set as follows

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment]
"TEXMFMAIN"="i:\context\tex\texmf"
"TEXMFLOCAL"="i:\context\tex\texmf-local"
"TEXMFFONTS"="i:\context\tex\texmf-fonts"
