I would like to install two ConTeXt trees on my laptop, one for work in
progress and another for testing, and to run them using TeXShop (if that is
feasible).
Are there any instructions for this? I have searched the wiki and TeXShop
help files but have not seen anything that indicates how to do this.
I currently have a system-wide installation of the ConTeXt standalone.

assuming that mtxrun is not fundamentally changed you can try this:
mtxrun --tree=/data/context/tex --script context yourfile.tex
mtxrun --tree=/data/context-beta/tex --script context yourfile.tex

Thanks, Hans. That works from the command line as it should and will be a
great help.
Now to see if these trees can be accessed easily from TeXShop.
All best, Alan

I routinely do this. Lets say you want to install two version of context,
context-beta and context-stable. Then, download and copy first-setup.sh in
both directories, and run:
cd context-beta && first-setup
cd context-stable && first-setup --context=current
Now, you can run
source path-to-context-beta/tex/setuptex && context filename
to compile a file using context beta and
source path-to-context-stable/tex/setptex && context filename
to compile a file using context stable.

Hi Alan,
Using TeXShop on MacOS X you can create two files named « mkiv-stable.engine » and « mkiv-testing.engine » and put them in the folder
Library/TeXShop/Engines
The first file « mkiv-stable.engine » contains the following:
#!/bin/bash
source [path-to-your-context-minimal-stable-folder]/tex/setuptex
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
and the second file « mkiv-testing.engine » contains
#!/bin/bash
source [path-to-your-context-minimal-testing-folder]/tex/setuptex
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
(personnaly I add also
rm -f *.tui *.log *.tuo *.xdv *.mp *.tmp *.top *-mpgraph.* *-mpgraph-temp.dvi *.tuc
at the end of each of the files to remove auxiliary files, but you must be careful with removing such files as *.mp…).
Then when you open anew TeXShop, you'll see in a small menu on top of each of your TeX file where you can choose to typeset your file with either mkiv-stable or mkiv-testing.
Or you can add at the top of your TeX file the following line:
%!TEX TS-program = mkiv-stable
or
%!TEX TS-program = mkiv-testing
In case you would like to use mkii you should replace the line
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
with
texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1"
and create an engine file named « mkii.engine »
That's it.
I hope this would be useful to you.
Best regards: OK

Thanks, Otared! That is very helpful indeed. I now have access to each of
the ConTeXt trees via TeXShop—and a sensible way to explore why the ConTeXt
betas since August 5 have not worked so well with my files.
All best, Alan

Thanks Hans for your attention, but saying
texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" --purge
or
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" --purge
removes also the synctex.gz file and one loses the synctex functionality which is essential for me.

i've added a test: if --synctex is given or the first line has
% synctex=zipped|unzipped|1|-1|yes
then the synctex file is not deleted
(not really tested as i never use synctex but it looks like it works ok)

Hi Hans,
Thanks for the quick modification…
I tested the new beta, and indeed using mkiv and
context --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" --purge
the synctex.gz file is not anymore deleted (however a utility file [file-name].tuc remains).
I noticed also that using mkii and
texexec --autogenerate --synctex=1 "$1" --purge
does delete the synctex.gz file, but this is expected since mkii is frozen and no change has effect ont it.
Best regards: OK

That (not deleting tuc file) is delebrate (as it saves time in successive
runs). If you want to delete the tuc file, you can use --purgeall instead
of --purge.

Thanks Aditya: actually that utility file .tuc can be deleted for some situations (for instance when one does a small test) and kept for others.
Maybe for those who do not use ConTeXt from a Terminal, but rather from editors like TeXShop or TeXWorks, one could have a feature to pass typesetting options to mkiv, for instance like a \setuptypesetting command, to be put in the first five lines of a document, which accepts various parameters such as for example
\setuptypesetting[purge=yes,synctex={yes,zipped},engine=mkiv]
to pass options to mkiv. But this is probably too complicated.
Best regards: OK

the job is already running and one needs tex to parse such commands
there are two ways (rather old features btw) to control a job:
- some directives can be given on the first line of a file
- you can make a jobname.ctx file (there are a few examples in the
distribution)
the last one is the most flexible as there can be a file per job or a
shared one

as an experiment i now also check the preamble for a ctxfile specification
make a file "preferences.ctx", put it someplace in the tree and run
mtxrun --generate:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<ctx:job>
<ctx:message>default flags</ctx:message>
<ctx:flags>
<ctx:flag>purge</ctx:flag>
<ctx:flag>synctex=zipped</ctx:flag>
</ctx:flags>
</ctx:job>
then you can say:
% ctxfile=preferences
\starttext
whatever
\stoptext

Hi Hans,
Thanks for this new feature for passing optional flags to the mkiv engine: I tested it on TeXShop and from a Terminal command line, and evrything works as expected.
I wikified your instructions,
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/purge_aux_files
but I wonder whether I chose the right title for that page (purge aux files).
Best regards: OK
