results are to be on the running path, not on 'build', ignoring --result

[Jan U. Hasecke]

Hi all,

I am using a Makefile to call context on a XML-file.

With older versions of context I could build the PDF in a special
targetdir defined in the Makefile.

The call of context is a follows:

pandoc $(SRC) $(CONTEXTOPTIONS) --variable include-after="<div
class=backmatter><sub>Version: $(ID)</sub></div>" -o tmp.xml &&
contextjit --purgeall --environment=env.tex --mode=trimsize,no-coverpage
tmp.xml --result=$(TARGETDIR)/$(TARGET)-$(ID).pdf

But I get the error message

results are to be on the running path, not on 'build', ignoring --result

Is this intended?

yes as the file has to be written too and opened; keep in mind that the 
pdf file is only one of the few files that are needed at runtime

you can do:

mkdir foo
mtxrun --path=foo --script context ../bar.tex
