context under miktex

context under miktex

[R. Ermers]

Dear Friends,

I am having problems with Context under Miktex.
The document is processed, but nothing happens.

Instead a tmp file is created, which says the following:
terminologie-Diwan.003.tmp
% terminologie-Diwan.003.top
\unprotect
\setupsystem[\c!n=1,\c!m=1]
\def\MPOSTformatswitch{-alias=metafun --undump=}
\setupsystem[\c!method=2]
\setupsystem[\c!type=mswin]
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupsystem[\c!random=1378]
\setupsystem[inputfile=terminologie-Diwan.003.tex]
\protect
\endinput


D:\publicaties\artikelen\artikel-Diwan>texmfstart texexec.rb 
"terminologie-Diwan.003.tex"
unknown file type: texmfscripts
TeXExec | processing document 'terminologie-Diwan.003.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file terminologie-Diwan.003.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 1378
TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
--8bit: unknown option
TeXExec | runtime: 0.063

The perl and ruby versions:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 33 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

ruby 1.9.0 (2005-07-22) [i386-mswin32]

Any help is much appreciated.

Robert

imo

(1) miktex's pdftex/mp should support --8bit (or tcx files)
(2) and silently ignore unknown flags

the problem is that in tl 2006/7 natural.tcx is supposed to be shipped 
with the main tree, but i have no clue if miktex ships that as well (and 
supports tcx filters); the --8bit flag makes pdftex etc 8 bit clean 
(roundtrip)

Re: context under miktex

[r.ermers]

Thank you Hans, for your quick reply.

I have a file natural.tcx in tex/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx.

I do not quite understand the rest of your reply. What do you suggest me
to do?

I am using Miktex 2.4.1461.

Regards,

Robert

Thanks Hans, for your quick reply.

My MikTeX installation contains a natural.tcx file.
I am afraid that I do not quite grasp the rest of your reply. What do you
suggest me to do?

Kind regards,

Robert

ask christian schenk to either obey or ignore the --8bit flag

Already done for ver 2.5 during pre-release testing (see miktex bug: [
1532430 ] 2.5rc1 tex.rb uses "pdfetex --8bit").  Don't use MikTeX 2.4.

I can confirm that latest releases of ConTeXt (since the introduction
of ruby-based executables) have problems with MikTeX 2.4. Do you have
any chances to upgrade MikTeX to 2.5?
