TeXexec and MikTeX

TeXexec and MikTeX

[Leon Di Stefano]

Greetings

I have been trying to set up ConTeXt in Windows XP using MikTeX. I have 
been running LaTeX2e through TeXnic center fine.

On the basis of the TeXexec manual, I ran "texexec --make en"
I attempted to build a small file test.tex by running "texexec --pdf 
test" from the directory in which the file is located.

It said that the default format file could not be found.

I tried increasing the 'pattern memory ops' in the miktex.ini config 
file as you suggested to another TeXer; nothing happened.


The following message occurs in the log:

...

(C:\MiKTeX\tex\context\base\symb-mis.tex)

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.



Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
  35451 strings out of 98461
  549342 string characters out of 1219912
  469342 words of memory out of 1048577
  35000 multiletter control sequences out of 35000
  7 words of font info for 0 fonts, out of 500000 for 1000
  0 hyphenation exceptions out of 607
  23i,2n,28p,276b,536s stack positions out of 
1500i,500n,5000p,200000b,32768s
  0 PDF objects out of 300000
  0 named destinations out of 300000
  1 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 65536
No pages of output.

...


Thanks,

Hi,

You'll have to increase another parameter as well, I think
it is called hash_size:

       hash_size = 50000
