luatools cache problem (beta)

luatools cache problem (beta)

[Peter Rolf]

hi,

i'm currently running the context beta from 07.07.2008 with the windows
minimals from 10.07.2008. all my (quick) tries to update to a later beta 
version have failed.

my main problem is, that luatools.lua doesn't work properly any more;
if i start 'luatools --generate' inside eshell (zshell clone?) the 
program simply hangs (does nothing). if i use the normal dos box with 
setuptex.bat i get

-----
R:\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua>luatools --generate
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to r:/tex
LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to r:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c
LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf
LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf

Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache? [yes|no] [no]

Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache? [yes|no] [no]

Should I create the cache path C:/tmp? [yes|no] [no] yes

Should I create the cache path C:/tmp? [yes|no] [no]

Should I create the cache path /Dokumente und Einstellungen/sojus?
[yes|no] [no]


fatal error: there is no valid (writable) cache path defined
-----

mh, the path r:/tex/texmf-cache is already present and writable. also it 
doesn't have any effect if i answer yes or no.


best wishes, peter

Did you also try it on cmd.exe? I recall that sometimes windows ruby had 
problems with file paths in cygwin.

yes, i used the normal cmd.exe shell. no cygwin installed here. sorry 
for the incorrect naming of the shell (but it's nearly as ugly/limited 
as old dos).
