- there should be a texexec.ini (if not copy texexec.rme to texexec.ini) in which you have to uncomment:
set TeXShell to miktex
- next you need to generate formats
texexec --make --alone --all (maybe without alone)
now you should be able to process files with
texexec --pdf somefile
(more info on how to set up metapost runtime support can be found in the wiki/archives)
