I'm having a slight problem with generating the formats when I use
newtexexec.
texmfstart newtexexec --make --all
I get the expected output without any errors, e.g.:

But cont-en.fmt is never actually written to the disk. I searched
high and low, but the only cont-en.fmt is the "old" one, written on
Apr. 17; the same for cont-en.log. Generating the formats with
texexec --make --all works. Is there anything I'm missing?

Try
texmfstart newtexexec --verbose --make --all
It should report something like at the end

I'm really sorry I have to resurrect this old thread, but there is
something terribly, fundamentally wrong with format generation in
newtexexec. I just dlded the latest version and ran
texmfstart newtexexec --make --all
from within the directory where the format files should be written.
After completion, I double-checked, and I did not get a new version
or format file. I then searched my disk to see where format files had
been written. Here's the result:
% locate cont-en.fmt
/Users/tas/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/
texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/
local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/
local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/
share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/web2c/
pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/
usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/
share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt
This looks bizarre, and it is. What happened: instead of using the
path descriptors as handed to it by kpsewhich, newtexexec CREATES the
paths verbatim, so I now have a directory .:/Users/tas/texmf/
web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/
teTeX/share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-
dist/web2c/pdfetex/ inside my Home directory and in other places of
the disk. I hope the description is clear...
Best
Thomas

That is absolutely bizarre! :(
So I also just downloaded the latest, just now, but I have no such
problem (sorry). I have run
$ texmfstart newtexexec --make --all
after unpacking
-rw-r--r-- 1 taco taco 3484157 Apr 27 12:21 cont-tmf.zip
to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local (as root)
That gave me the following (correct) files:

Yes, I really wish I knew what causes this error. I just checked on
my laptop running linux (Fedora Core 5), and I get the proper output
as well:
TeXExec | tex engine path: ./pdfetex
TeXExec | mps engine path: .
TeXExec | texformat: 27/04/06 15:14:41 > /usr/share/texmf-config/
web2c/pdfetex/cont-nl.fmt
Which as as it should be [however, newtexexec --check does not
perform alll tests as it should]. On Mac OS X, I get at the end:
TeXExec | tex engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/
teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//
share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c//
pdfetex
TeXExec | mps engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/
teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//
share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c
I guess that means that it creates, in the working directory, a
directory named : and then the other diretories beneath it. What can
cause this error? I;m running the same pdfetex version on both
(3.141592-1.40.0-beta-20060213-2.2). Could be some config file, could
be the different TDS setup on both systems, could be that OS X is
case insensitive? Could other people check on their computers as
well, that would be helpful.

Not very probable since OS X uses the same separator as linux/Unix, /

I meant the "separate paths in env variables" one. Unix has ":" and
Windows has ";".

indeed, and the test i did was not robust (keep in mind that windows can have c: ; afaik tex live ships with ; as separator while tetex uses :
last night i ran into it as well and implemented a different method of splitting

Hi,
Of course I am unable to give an answer. Yet I would like to mention,
that also in the windows environment it does not work as expected. I
found the format files in a
separate directory not in the web2c path. Everything worked after moving
the folder into the correct place.

Hi,
Yet-another-report ;) :
I've installed mswincontext for the first time following the standalone
procedure three days ago. When I have generated formats with --make
--all, the format were put into "pdfetex/*". It works after moving
pdfetex into the right path manually (tex/texmf-mswin/web2c). At the
moment, I thought I have missed something, but I got it working... Now,
after reading the Willi's post, I feel that there is maybe a problem
with latest mswincontext...
