installing minimals

installing minimals

[Jörg Hagmann]

Hi,

I don't know whether the following is related to what is being discussed 
at the moment, but when trying to install a new version of minimals (in 
a separate, fresh directory), compiling a test file fails with the 
following message:

On the Mac (Leopard):

Setting "/Users/bonasia/contextexp/tex" as TEXROOT.
bonasa:contextexp bonasia$ cd 
~/Documents/alectoris/archives/talks/medges/longlife/

The old Minimals, which I kept, are still working on both computers.

Thanks for suggestions, Jörg

I think that we forget to run mktexlsr at the end of format generation.

Does running mktexlr manually help? If not, does running an additional
"texexec --make --all" help?

No -- sorry I forgot to mention that I tried all that, on both 
computers, for mk II and IV.

Here's a total shot in the dark (I don't use OS X anymore):

Last time that I used TeXShop, it had an "engine" file in the library
folder that I sometimes had to modify if ConTeXt changed the commands
available for use.

Dear Mojca,

Here is the sequence that I used:

 cd context


 curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh

 sh ./first-setup.sh

source ./tex/setuptex

cd
echo '. ~/context/tex/setuptex' >> .bash_profile


luatools --selfupdate

mtxrun --selfupdate

luatools --generate

context --make

 sh ./first-setup.sh --extras=all


In TeXShop I  then run a one page file called Purser.tex . The console readout gives me:

TeXExec | processing document 'Purser.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file Purser.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 911
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en

MTXrun | using format name: /Users/charlesdoherty/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/e580c8be7dcf42f3c6968188a08f16d6/formats/cont-en.fmt

TeXUtil | programs: 0
TeXUtil | tuo file saved
TeXExec | runtime: 0.156153

From the above it seems to be a problem with the format.

Thanks for any help,
Charlie

Dear Charles,

I'm not sure about what could go wrong. Which instructions exactly
were you following and at what point exactly does the problem appear?

installing minimals

[Charles Doherty]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1290 bytes --]

Dear all, 

I had installed minimals in a folder 'context' in my home directory. I am using a Macbook 10.6.4. I have been using MarkIV successfully for a number of months. I recently decided to update but I get the result below. I followed the instructions on Contextgarden as before in the ConTeXt Minimals page. I finally trashed the folder and did everything from scratch. I use TeXshop as my editor. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me the steps to get ConTeXt Minimals working again on my Mac.

Thanks,
Charlie

Re: Installing minimals

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

\syntex=1 gives and error

\synctex=1 compiles but gives nothing (no additional files, not SyncTeX 
recognizible data for TeXWorks viewer)

What's wrong with it?

just add

\syntex=1

Re: Installing minimals

[Alain Delmotte]

I am using MarkIV, so the call is not directly to texexec but mtxrun.cmd

In TeXworks the parameters for MarkIV are

Program: mtxrun.cmd
Arguments:
--autogenerate
--script
context
$fullname

and "mtxrun.cmd" in "..\context\tex\texmaf-mswin\bin" is
@echo off
setlocal
set ownpath=%~dp0%
texlua "%ownpath%mtxrun.lua" %*
endlocal

Should I add "--synctex" in "mtxrun.cmd" after "texlua".
When I add as argument of the command in TeXworks, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the help!

Alain

Works for me on recent ConTeXt minimals. I have no menton of SyncTeX in 
the source tex file but I run TeX by

texexec --synctex mgr.tex

I get a mgr.synctex.gz(busy) file while TeXing and a mgr.synctex.gz file 
afterwards.

Installing minimals

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

On the 16th of September I mentioned that I had problems to install the 
minimals.

Further, on my portable, the one I used during EuroTeX I could not 
connect to INTERNET anymore even after changing the connection parameters!!

I then decide to un-install the firewall program I use (COMODO -- which 
I disabled when I tried to install the minimals, but with no result) and...
everything is now OK: I could reconnect and more important install the 
minimals.

Still a problem using TeXworks: the synctex system is not working: 
neither adding -synctex=1 in Preferences or \synctex=1 at the start of 
the tex source.

Synctex appeared only in MikTeX 2.7 by a special (?) instruction in the 
pdftex (?) program.
Is synctex taken into account in context?

Alain
