Can't compile the whole project

Can't compile the whole project

[Roman Schechtel]

Hello from a new ConTeXt user!

I've read the wiki-page on how to separate input files into
a project structure (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure)
and now I have the problem that:

 - I can "compile" an individual component (resulting in a PDF)
 - I also can compile a product
 - But I can't compile the whole __project__!

Everytime I try to compile the project, I get the "No pages of
output" message in the log. My setup is the following:

----------------File: /environment.tex-------------------------
\startenvironment environment
\stopenvironment

----------------File: /project.tex-----------------------------
\startproject project
\environment environment
\product ./product/product
\stopproject

----------------File: /product/product.tex---------------------
\startproduct product
\project project
\component ./component/component
\stopproduct

----------------File: /product/component/component.tex---------
\startcomponent component
\product product
\project project
\dorecurse{10}{Component 1}
\stopcomponent

%________________________________________________________________
%I've put up those files in http://schechtel.de/pub/context/proj.zip

Now.. I get a PDF when I compile component.tex individually, the same
with product.tex -- but the PDF is not build when I compile
project.tex

The Logfile http://schechtel.de/pub/context/project.log.html
...shows something very interesting (marked red, scroll down).

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help,

Roman Schechtel

IIRC, you are not supposed to be able to do that. Products
are compilable files, but Projects are only placeholders for
layout settings.

Hello,

I think this is due to the folder structure. When you copy everythin 
into the same folder it works (at leat project and product must be in 
the same folder).
I don't know if this is supposed to be this way.

Thanks for the idea! Yes, now I get a PDF, even when the component
resides where it was.

 /project.tex
 /product.tex
       |
       +-> /prod_dir/comp_dir/component.tex

works fine,
then why not:

 /project.tex
  |
  +-> /prod_dir/product.tex
                |
                +-> /prod_dir/comp_dir/component.tex

?
