Hi all,
I wonder if it possible to run the MSWin version of context-minimal under
Cygwin.
I want to use Makefile and other unix tools to automate my build process.
I tried modifying the context/tex/setuptex script, and manually set the
platform variable to mswin,
but when I ran context.cmd, I saw the following error message. The
texmf-cache path actually exists.
Any hint? Thanks a lot!
======begin cut===========
[Administrator@cygwin test]$ context.cmd test1
Should I create the cache path /cygdrive/c/usr/docs/context/tex/texmf-cache?
[ye
s|no] [no]
Should I create the cache path /cygdrive/c/usr/docs/context/tex/texmf-cache?

======end cut===========
regards,
shenchen

Whether you are a windows person or a unix person: if you want to add
enormous confusion to your life, start using cygwin!
If you have to stay with windows, why not use a more 'normal' make
port like the one in mingw32?
Best wishes,
Taco

I am doing exactly the same thing as you want. I believe your problem is in keeping your worlds (Windows/Cygwin) straight. It appears that you have installed minimals “inside” cygwin (depending on whether your /usr directory is your cygwin /usr directory).
I installed minimals “normally”, as it is a Windows application. I ran the context setups from Windows. Then I can build with no problems from within cygwin by running the minimals cmd files (although you must specify the extension from within cygwin). I did not have to modify any files at all.
So far, no problems. Just remember to keep your path information in “Windows” format, not cygwin.

Hi Bryant,
Thanks a lot! I got it working with your suggestion.
The exact sequence was:
1. install ConTeXt in DOS cmd
2. run setuptex.bat in DOS cmd
3. enter cygwin by running cygwin.bat
4. in cygwin prompt, run context.cmd test.tex
Our docbook->pdf/html flow was developed in unix. But I need to port it to
Windows now for my colleagues.
regards,
shenchen

Hans:
I would be happy to add that and several of my other "discoveries" to
the wiki. What is the process for establishing a login?

You either need to create account (top right corner of the page) or
just edit page and solve a tiny math puzzle to prove you are not a
spammer (and not drunk); creating account is not a prerequisite to
edit the page.
If you happen to have problems with math challenges, write me off-list :) :) :)
