All,
I still need a copy of runperl.exe if anyone has one. Meanwhile, I've got a
repeatable weirdness I hope someone can explain.
If I set these lines in my texexec.ini:
% set TeXFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt
% ConTeXtPath texmf/tex/context/base sources
% SetupPath texmf/tex/base/user cont-sys/usr file
% TeXScriptsPath texmf/context/perltk scripts
% TeXFontsPath texmf font files
%
% set MpFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/mem
%
% == the main shell setting ==
%
% As shown below, one can define his/her own sections. We default to
% the teTeX/fpTeX web2c based settings.
%set TeXShell to tetex
%set TeXShell to fptex
set TeXShell to miktex
%set TeXShell to private
Then:
f:
cd \miktex\scripts\context\perl
perl texexec.pl --make en nl
The formats get created and can be found on f:\. If I cut them and paste
them into f:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt, then the test file junk.tex will compile.
%testfile: junk.tex
\starttext
\framed {Lets see if it works.}
\stoptext
Now, if I make these changes to texexec.ini:
set TeXFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt
% ConTeXtPath texmf/tex/context/base sources
% SetupPath texmf/tex/base/user cont-sys/usr file
% TeXScriptsPath texmf/context/perltk scripts
% TeXFontsPath texmf font files
%
set MpFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/mem
%
% == the main shell setting ==
%
% As shown below, one can define his/her own sections. We default to
% the teTeX/fpTeX web2c based settings.
%set TeXShell to tetex
%set TeXShell to fptex
set TeXShell to miktex
%set TeXShell to private
Then:
f:
cd \miktex\scripts\context\perl
perl texexec.pl --make en nl
In this case, the format files get deposited where they should go, namely
in f:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt.
However, when I now compile my test file junk.tex:
F:\miktex\scripts\context\perl>perl texexec.pl junk
TeXExec 5.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004
executable : pdfetex
format : f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt/cont-en
inputfile : junk
output : standard
interface : en
current mode : none
TeX run : 1
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.10b-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.3)
initexmf: don't know how to dump miktex
cannot make f:/localtexmf/miktex.efmt
I can't find the default format file!
return code : 256
run time : 1 seconds
total run time : 1 seconds
How's that for weird?
Can anyone tell me what's going on?

What happens when you run
texexec --make --alone
do you get *.fmt and *.mem files?
these need to be present on or moved to the right location
(watch out, pdfetex no longer has efmt as suffix)
One way to figure out what files are present is to use
textools --find cont-en.fmt
this is a ruby script, so you need to have ruby installed
i'm a bit puzzled why you can't get it working since you had it working
some time ago; there have been no changes in texexec cum suis that
influence that, so the main problem is probably in the tds change as
well as the change in suffix (efmt -> fmt)
