All,

Got the latest cont-tfm.zip from:

http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

Extracted with WinZip on my Win95 machine running Miktex. 

Added 

map +context.map

to pdftex.cfg.

Refreshed the Filename Database.

Copied texexec.rme to texexec.ini and changed:

%set  TeXShell  to  tetex
%set TeXShell  to  fptex
set TeXShell  to  miktex
%set TeXShell  to  private

Built formats with:

texexec --make en nl

Moved formats to f:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt\

Refreshed the filename database.

Built metafun with:

texexec --make metafun 

Moved format files to f:\localtexmf\miktex\mem\

Refreshed filename database.

Saved the following in C:\temp\junk.tex

\starttext
\framed {Let’s see if it works.}
\stoptext

Change to the C:\ drive and: 

texexec junk

Got this error:

I also have the unusual behavior that I start with:

Anyone else ever have to deal with this changing of drives at the end of a

Re: Re: Installation Problem

Patrick,

Ah! I am looking in cont-tmf.zip and I see that there no longer is a
/context/perltk.

Unfortunately, the installation directions minstall.pdf in cont-tmf.zip
says there is. Indeed, see pages 2 and 5, where it says to put
\miktex\context\perltk on your path.

Looks like the installation directions haven't caught up with the release.

I'm going to try deleting the original context tree, unzipping again, then
putting /miktex/scripts/context/perl on the path and I'll report what happens.

oeps, i need to fix that; the problem is that we're in a transition from 
old TDS to new TDS (tex directory structure), so either manuals are 
behind or ahead (and since some changes are not downward compatible this 
poses some timing)

> Looks like the installation directions haven't caught up with the release.

indeed; i'll start doing that once i have the new web site up and 
running (i'm still reorganizing some things)

I got a similar error message on my linux box.  The solution was to
replace a single occurrence of the instruction "\c!gebied" in texexec.pl
with "\c!directory".  I suspect this is an errant piece of Dutch
language code that escaped the recent tranlation to low-level English.

Larry,

Thanks. But no occurrence of gebied in my texexec.pl.

hm, no c!gebied on my machine; of course the new location in TDS can 
make that in distributions that have updated build scripts accordingly 
old scripts may be used instead of new ones;

take a look at the file cont-sys.rme: you can configure auto map 
loading; the pdftex.cbf file is gone in the latest pdfetex!

can you do a

and see what texexec's are reported?

Installation problem

[Matt Gushee]

Hello, all--

I have just installed the latest (stable release of) ConTeXt on a "new"
machine [details below], but texexec is not working properly. I keep 
getting the following error:

  sh: cont-en: command not found

I have Googled for information on this problem, but the solution I found
doesn't make sense to me. In response to a previous inquiry on this
list, someone wrote:

> but the absence of cont-en that is the
> problem. Or if cont-en exists, it is not in your path or not
> executable.

But what exactly is this 'cont-en'? I have two machines with working
ConTeXt systems, and neither of them has a command with exactly that
name. So I imagine the reference is to a file named
'cont-en.<extension>'. But there is more than one such file, and none of
them seems to be a type of file that would normally be made executable
(nor are they executable on the machines where I have ConTeXt working).
Any thoughts as to what's wrong?

Oh, yes, my system is:

  Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
  teTeX 1.0.2
    * Note that teTeX comes with an old and not-properly-configured
      version of ConTeXt. I unzipped the new package over that ...
      could something left over from the old ConTeXt be causing the
      problem?

Thanks for any info.

Re: Installation problem

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

cont-en.efmt is a format file that ConTeXt need to run. In order for 
this file to be built, run

texexec --make en de nl

This will create English, Dutch, and German formats (see minstall.pdf, 
p. 6-8). Depending on where and how you installed, you'll need to run 
it as root.

All best

Thomas

Hello Matt,


> But what exactly is this 'cont-en'? 

probably a hard link to pdftex or pdfetex.

oh, bad thing ;-)

remove the ConTeXt stuff from there (not really necessary) and
install ConTeXt somewhere else. The directory structure has changed
so that you will get into some trouble sooner or later (kpathsea).
You need to make sure that kpathsea finds the new files before the
old ones.

Yes, I knew about that, and had already created the en and nl formats
(since I don't work with German documents at all, I don't need de, do
I?).

Just as a side note, why would the shell think the format is supposed to
be a command? That makes me wonder if there is some incorrect quoting in
the Perl script.

Could be, but it's never been necessary in the past. As I mentioned, I
have two working ConTeXt installations with no such command.

Yes, I suppose so.

Well, I've deleted all the old ConTeXt directories, reinstalled the new
version, copied the *.rme files to *.ini (or whatever they are supposed
to be ... I think), regenerated the 'en', 'nl', and 'metafun' formats,
and run texhash ... I'm still getting the same error.

I also ran a diff comparing the texmf.cnf from the new installation with
one from one of my working installation. The files are identical in
everything related to ConTeXt.

So, thank you both for your quick replies, but it looks like there's
some other problem.

BTW, this is a very new release of ConTeXt--June 16, according to the 
Pragma Web site. Has anyone used this version successfully?

did you update texexec and texutil?

The current beta is 2004.6.20 (see

They are symlinks, so yes, unzipping the new archive updated them.

Okay, tried that, no change.

I also tried creating /usr/bin/cont-en as a symlink to pdfetex and
pdftex (not at the same time, of course). The results were, well,
different:

First, with cont-en as a link to pdftex:

| matt@crawdad:/var/tmp$ texexec ut.tex 
| 
|  TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004
| 
|             executable : pdfetex
|                 format : cont-en

|                 output : standard
|              interface : en
|           current mode : none
|                TeX run : 1
| 
| This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20011114-ojmw (Web2C 7.3.7)

|               run time : 1 seconds
| 
|         total run time : 4 seconds

Can't find 'cont-en.fmt'? Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? Since, as
I understand it, ConTeXt normally uses pdfetex, which would need
cont-en.efmt. But it was worth a try.

So then I tried pdfetex:

| matt@crawdad:/var/tmp$ texexec ut.tex 
| 
|  TeXExec 4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004
| 
|             executable : pdfetex
|                 format : cont-en
|              inputfile : ut
|                 output : standard
|              interface : en
|           current mode : none
|                TeX run : 1

|               run time : 3 seconds
| 
|         total run time : 6 seconds

Hmm ... two questions here: what is the 'End of file on the terminal?'
Is that referring to natural.tcx (which comes from the ConTeXt
distribution)? And what about pdftex.cfg? Indeed, it doesn't exist. But
it doesn't exist on the machines where I have ConTeXt working, either.
So I don't know if either of the above results are meaningful.

Oh, by the way, the input file was this:

  \usetypescriptfile [type-utopia]
  \usetypescript [UtopiaFace]

  \showbodyfont [Utopia]

  \end

And yes, the typescript in question is available; both it and this test
file have worked for me on another machine.

Re: Installation problem

Hi Matt,

I just came across the same error. I don't know why I didn't notice
before, but texexec seems to be 'broken'. Well, I don't know if it is
really broken, but it just does not to the same thing it used to. It
gives me same error as you get.

Using an old texexec works fine for me. I didn't look into this yet.

No change.

maybe some interference with cont-en.ini; does

  texexec --make --alone

work ok?

it should not bark on the cp8bit (btw the latest version should use natural.tcx which is in the context distribution, cp8bit is flawed and not really 8 bit [straight in->out mapping is needed for instance for 
runtime xslt processign and such]; next year we can use -8bit 

(this whole 8 bit mess-up has been hauting me for years -)

yes. It gives me cont-en, cont-nl,  metafun and  mptopdf  in the
current dir.

BTW: I use the current texlive (the last one shipped to members of
local tugs)

hm, i always have the impression that that version is sensitive for the location of the cpx files; because i setup the texmf vars more rigurously --alone puts the formats where they belong;

future versions of tex live need more care: officially the formats will go under subpaths in web2c, but tetex will not follow that scheme; so, it's good to keep an eye on where formats finally end up; since you install fonts yourself, you may also take a look at the enc/map settings  (below); the textools script (in distribution) is able to correct the tree -)

Re: Installation problem

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello Hans and Matt,


here is my solution:

in texexec.ini change

set  TeXFormatFlag      to  &

into:

set  TeXFormatFlag      to  

(empty)


and run texexec like:

texexec --tex=pdfetex file.tex


this is because texexec checks 

if ( $TeXFormatFlag eq "" ) {
    if ($TeXProgram =~ /(etex|pdfetex)/) {
        $TeXFormatFlag = "-efmt=" ; # >=2004 -fmt=
    } elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(eomega)/) {
        $TeXFormatFlag = "-eoft=" ; # >=2004 obsolete
    } elsif ($TeXProgram =~ /(aleph)/) {
        $TeXFormatFlag = "-fmt=" ;
    } else {
        $TeXFormatFlag = "-fmt=" ;
    }
}


and $TeXProgram is not set to $TeXExecutable (why the two different vars?)

indeed, the texexec.rme file is changed accordingly; i needed that 
change because & is giving to much problems in nested calls; also, next 
year there will be changes again because from now on web2c formats will 
be fmt, like

  web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt

instead of

  web2c/cont-en.efmt

(currently both -efmt and -fmt are handled by the latest pdfetex) ; i 
didn't check miktex yet

dunno, must have a look
