Hi all,
I have some problem when using ConTeXt in tl08,
when I type
luatools --generate
my cmd windows says like this
>C:\Users\fnsteed>context --make
>
>MtxRun | error unable to locate
texmfcnf.luaShould I create the cache path C:\Us
>ers\fnsteed\? [yes|no] [no] y

or like this
>C:\Users\fnsteed>luatools --generate
>
>LuaTools | error unable to locate texmfcnf.lua
>LuaTools | loading
d:/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnfShould I
create the cach
>e path C:\Users\fnsteed\? [yes|no] [no]
>
>fatal error: there is no valid cache path

I don't exactly know what that means but clearly I
cannot use ConTeXt. Can someone help me?
Thanks.
Cheers;
Fengnan <fnsteed@hotmail.com>

If the "minimal ConTeXt" is the only standard way of using a full ConTeXt, then it could be rename "maximal" ;-) or more seriously something lire "standard", "hot" or "independant" (longish) -- Maurice ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Yes. If you use _both_ ConTeXt and LaTeX (and some of us - including me - are kind of forced to use LaTeX, too, because of: * having a number of old LaTeX files which wuold be a trouble to convert; * sending papers to journals accepting LaTeX; * writing LaTeX stuff to order) Personally I'd find it inconvenient to have two TeX trees and having to change my environment to use one or another. (Possibly, I could arrange it so that I don't have to change any environment variables, but still, since I don't need the state-of-the-art MkIV, texlive is ok for me.) > > If the "minimal ConTeXt" is the only standard way of using a full > ConTeXt, then it could be rename "maximal" ;-) > or more seriously something lire "standard", "hot" or > "independant" (longish) Well, it is "minimal" in the sense of dependencies, I guess. > > -- Maurice Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.pl) Wołałem Pana w moim udręczeniu; mego Boga, mego Boga przyzywałem!
