Re: Help with configuring Textadept to work with ConTeXt

["L.S.-Soc&Gam" <axteffekt@gmail.com>]

Well I deleted MiKTeX from my system path completely and now when I try 
to compile a *.tex file that is clearly a ConTeXt document I only get 
another error message:

 > pdflatex -file-line-error -halt-on-error "untitled-3.tex"
Der Befehl "pdflatex" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
 > exit status: 1

Which means that no compiler can be found... I am a little stuck here, 
mainly because I can't figure where I can change paths and arguments for 
Textadept or SciTE. SciTE also only gives me an error:

 >texexec --pdf test1.tex
warning: f:/Sandbox/ConTeXt/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf:49: (kpathsea) No 
cnf value on line: OSFONTDIR =.
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016/W32TeX) 
(preloaded format=cont-en)
  \write18 enabled.
---! f:/Sandbox/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-win64/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt doesn't 
match pdftex.pool
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
 >Exit code: 1

But I did everything as explained on contextwiki. It seems that both 
programs don't even search for CTX...

In TeXworks or TeXnicCenter I haven't had any trouble to make CTX my 
main compiler. But both programs have an option where one can add new 
compiler profiles with location for the compiler and arguments that can 
be passed. In both I simply entered context.exe and my arguments.
But Textadept and SciTE aren't as easy to configure as TW or TXNCC.

Where can I change how and with which program they compile documents? If 
anybody has an idea, I am still open for it.


Greetings, Sebastian
