context under miktex

context under miktex

[R. Ermers]

Dear Friends,

I am having problems with Context under Miktex.
The document is processed, but nothing happens.

Instead a tmp file is created, which says the following:
terminologie-Diwan.003.tmp
% terminologie-Diwan.003.top
\unprotect
\setupsystem[\c!n=1,\c!m=1]
\def\MPOSTformatswitch{-alias=metafun --undump=}
\setupsystem[\c!method=2]
\setupsystem[\c!type=mswin]
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupsystem[\c!random=1378]
\setupsystem[inputfile=terminologie-Diwan.003.tex]
\protect
\endinput


D:\publicaties\artikelen\artikel-Diwan>texmfstart texexec.rb 
"terminologie-Diwan.003.tex"
unknown file type: texmfscripts
TeXExec | processing document 'terminologie-Diwan.003.tex'

TeXExec | using randomseed 1378

The perl and ruby versions:

ruby 1.9.0 (2005-07-22) [i386-mswin32]

Any help is much appreciated.

imo

(1) miktex's pdftex/mp should support --8bit (or tcx files)
(2) and silently ignore unknown flags

the problem is that in tl 2006/7 natural.tcx is supposed to be shipped 
with the main tree, but i have no clue if miktex ships that as well (and 
supports tcx filters); the --8bit flag makes pdftex etc 8 bit clean 
(roundtrip)

Re: context under miktex

[r.ermers]

Thank you Hans, for your quick reply.

I have a file natural.tcx in tex/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx.

I do not quite understand the rest of your reply. What do you suggest me
to do?

I am using Miktex 2.4.1461.

Regards,

Robert

Thanks Hans, for your quick reply.

My MikTeX installation contains a natural.tcx file.
I am afraid that I do not quite grasp the rest of your reply. What do you
suggest me to do?

Kind regards,

Robert

ask christian schenk to either obey or ignore the --8bit flag

Already done for ver 2.5 during pre-release testing (see miktex bug: [
1532430 ] 2.5rc1 tex.rb uses "pdfetex --8bit").  Don't use MikTeX 2.4.

I can confirm that latest releases of ConTeXt (since the introduction
of ruby-based executables) have problems with MikTeX 2.4. Do you have
any chances to upgrade MikTeX to 2.5?

Hello!

1. Apparently you are trying to use LaTeX files under ConTeXt. But ConTeXt
files are completely different from LaTeX files!!!!! See documentations.

2. I am using ConTeXt under MikTeX, and there are no problems. But the
executable should be pdftex, and not pdflatex.!!!  Even in texexec.ini.

Looks like a LaTeX document, not ConTeXt. Use latex.exe to achieve some
results.

Hello all,

I installed ConText under MikTex but keep getting error messages when trying to run ConText. 
I can't find what is wrong with my texexec.ini. Apparently, I am  running PDFTex instead of PDFLatex !

Could someone give me a hand?
Thanks!

Antonio

My texexec.ini file looks like
......
%set  TeXShell  to  tetex 
%set TeXShell  to  fptex 
set TeXShell  to  miktex
%set TeXShell  to  private 
....

for  miktex  set  UsedInterfaces    to  en
for  miktex  set  UserInterface     to  en
for  miktex  set  TeXExecutable     to  pdflatex
for  miktex  set  TeXVirginFlag     to  --initialize
for  miktex  set  TeXBatchString    to  --interaction=batchmode 
for  miktex  set  MpToTeXExecutable to  mptotex
for  miktex  set  MpVirginFlag      to  --initialize
for  miktex  set  MpPassString      to 
for  miktex  set  MpBatchString     to  --interaction=batchmode

This is a typical log message
