possible to run minimal in cygwin?

[Chen Shen]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 756 bytes --]

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?
[ye
s|no] [no]
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

======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 :) :) :)
