XeTeX + ConTeXt in TeXShop

XeTeX + ConTeXt in TeXShop

[Andrea Valle]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2131 bytes --]

Hi,

I was trying to configure teXShop so that it can run texexec --xtx

I was following Otared's suggestions:

http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/016502.html

I tried a brainless practice, creating the suggested file with

#!/bin/tcsh

set path= ($path /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current /
usr/local/bin)
texexec --xtx  "$1"

but it didn't work, so I changed the provided paths (I'm an Unix  
ignorant: proceeded by nose, as we say in Italy)

And I have this:

#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path  /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin / /usr/texbin)
texexec --xtx  "$1"

(I have mactex on macosx 10.4)

In TeXShop while launching the typesetting process I'm having a white  
console and nothing happens.

Any hints?

Thanks a lot as usual

Best

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who

guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

Ok, sorry, I solved adding the infamous blank line suggested by Jelle...

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.macosx/23622/match=xecontext 
+texshop
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.macosx/23634/match=xecontext 
+texshop

I think I will add some stuff to wiki/xetex

  Make sure the xetex binary is indeed in /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin
or in /usr/texbin, and the XeConTeXt.engine is an executable file
(type "chmod 755 ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/XeConTeXt.engine" in Terminal.app)
You can also remove the stand-alone slash after "set path=" in
XeConTeXt.engine (it tells tcsh to add the root directory to the list of
directories where executable files are looked for, and that's really
both useless and dangerous).

Thanks Arthur

so now my XeConTeXt.engine file contains:

#!/bin/tcsh
set path= ($path  /usr/texbin)
texexec --xtx  "$1"

(including a blank line)
It works

BTW, for the records:

tcsh is rather exotic (was default on OSX 10.1, though).

I'd suggest:

in your ~/.profile:

export PATH='$PATH:/usr/texbin'
alias texetex='texexec --xtx'

and just call 'texetex' in TeXshop (or on the commandline).

  You should surround the PATH line with double quotes ("), not simple
ones (').

Ok, works as an alias from terminal.
BTW a texetex command already exists, so I used xecontext

But Hraban, how do I then set up TeXShop?

Sorry, I'm used to write Python (where " or ' doesn't matter) or PHP  
(where I normally use 's)...
Never post untested code... ;-)

I'd set the default typesetting command to 'command listed below' and  
there to your newly designed command.
Does that work? (If I ever use TeXshop, then I run texexec in a  
separate Terminal...)

The information that \externalfigure should be replaced by
\XeTeXpicfile is misleading. It is a temporary solution for the bug (I
didn't test recently, but I had serious prolems with inclusion of
binary figures and newer PDF file versions), but not a general rule.
The bug should be fixed if it still exists, rather than asking people
to rewrite their sources to low-level commands.

(The problems I had were the following: all the photos taken with my
camera resulted in way too big images in the final PDF (width=,
height= had absolutely no effect). It worked OK with pdfTeX & LuTeX
though, and if I took that picture, modified it a bit in some external
program and saved it again, it worked OK. So my temporary workaround
was to save the photos again in some other program. But it should be
fixed.)

I completely agree, but nobody replied to my post when I complained.

Ok, but this is not a better solution.
It's only cleaner from a ConTeXt point of view.
So you do not modify the sources but because of the bug you modify  
200 jpgs.

In any case,  as I have written, I had not output problems with 	 
\externalfigure, but the rli generation needed many texexec calls to  
be completed and was too slow
(even if only for the first time).
Instead, I had no luck at all with pdfs inclusion.

So, my idea would be to clearly specify in the wiki entry that it's a  
momentary workaround.

you get that kind of effects when an image has no info about the 
resolution; pdftex/luatex can be told what the resolution is but even 
that can be a mismatch; there is no safeguard against faulty graphics 
and indeed reprocessing them may help;
