context mkiv metafun

context mkiv metafun

[Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz]

Hi list,

another problem I encountered while installing and testing context-
minimals is that the context command is not willing in my case to 
autobuild the metafun graphics I included in the document. Would be nice 
if someone has an advice to me on to fix that, got it working under 
texexec by creating a cont-sys.tex and linking it to the directory where 
cont-sys.ori is located.

Greetings

Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

mkii or mkiv?

in mkii one can set the mp related directives in the cont-sys file, but 
depending on the distribution one might also need to enable write 18 in 
the config file (the used one can be found with)

texmfstart --edit kpse:texmf.cnf
mtxrun     --edit kpse:texmf.cnf

in mkiv things are done automatically as no external mp is used

the problem is that mkiv is not build the included metapost graphics, or 
has mkiv problems concering overlays or the project structure?

The problematic output is:
mplib           : initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun'
mplib           : making 'metafun.mp' into '/opt/context-minimals/tex/
texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/ccfefc91ec3ed68af1aeed1f470fef4d/formats/
cont-en-metafun.mem'
mplib           : problems with 'metafun.mp' from '/opt/context-minimals/
tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/ccfefc91ec3ed68af1aeed1f470fef4d/
formats/cont-en-metafun.mem'
!pages          : flushing realpage 8, userpage 8

so what needs to be changed to get context mkiv running and creating the 
metapost output?

Ok problem solved... missing rights to write to /opt/context-minimals/tex/
texmf-cache/, just chmoded it 777 so it will be usable for graphic 
generation. Would be nice to include the possibilty to add in a standard 
way a personal texmf-cache, or is there a way to do so and I don't know 
about it?

grep for texmfcnf.lua

this is a prelude to a replacement for texmf.cnf in mkiv

Ok got this file Hans, and what would be a good replacement in there?

would it be ok to something like

return {
	TEXMFCACHE = '~/.context-minimals/texmf-cache',
}
ok or is it possible to use multiple paths in that syntax like:

return {
	TEXMFCACHE = 'Path1', 'Path2'
}
unfortunately on this point there is no documention I can find.
Thanks for your fast help Hans

sure. you probably need to run "luatools --generate" after a change

no, for the moment just one cache path (maybe in the future more but it 
is sort of tricky as quite some version testing has to be done then so 
it's not a good idea to implement that while mkiv is in flux
