command line arguments to specify output directory

command line arguments to specify output directory

[A A via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 481 bytes --]

Dear All,

I would like to ask whether there exists a command line option to the
context executable which would allow me to specify the directory in which I
would like my output to be dumped.

I have noticed that if I call the executable outside the directory in which
the .tex file resides, my supporting files (and resulting pdf) are dumped
outside the directory in which the .tex file is located.

Any help would be most welcome. Thanks for your consideration.

Regards,

Amine

Fwd: command line arguments to specify output directory

Thanks Wolfgang. I have two remarks:

   - That option is not documented and cannot be found when I type *context
   *into my command line and press enter. Do you know why this is?
   - I tried the following *context --runpath=test test/test.tex * but it
   still dumps all the output (.log, .pdf and .tuc) into my current directory.
   I would like for it to get dumped inside the *test *directory...

mtxrun --path=test --script context test.tex

(note that filename has to be relative to the test/ directory not CWD)

Hi Aditya,

Sorry, but I'm still getting an error:

*runtime error : input file 'test/test.tex' is not found, quitting*

At first I was not following Aditya's note that  "filename has to be
relative to the test/ directory not CWD". When I followed that
recommendation it worked fine.
