ConTexT minimals problem

ConTexT minimals problem

[Bowen Alan C.]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 340 bytes --]

The latest beta (Minimals) fails to compile and complains:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (Web2C 7.5.7)
  \write18 enabled.
  (/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-context/web2c/natural.tcx)
I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'!
and
context --version
gets
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

I'm afraid the problem lies here:

#!/bin/sh
mtxrun --usekpse --execute texexec "$@"

Most probably one can get over it by changing mtxrun to texmfstart.rb
again, though this will be overwritten next time when you'll try to
update.

(Hans was just afraid to be too bored during long Polish talks, so he
had to make sure to have a few challenges left to solve during the
conference :)

Thanks, Mocja. I will play around with it.

We now tried to fix texmf.cnf, so maybe that helps. (It works here,
but my system might be set up in some weird way at the moment.)

I tried to get rid of most definitons in setuptex (but maybe you were
not using it before anyway).

Weird. The formats now fly to /web2c. I had impression that it worked
OK yesterday, I don't understand it.

The reason that it fails lies here:
TEXMFOS       = $SELFAUTODIR
TEXFORMATS    = .;$TEXMFOS/web2c

It seems that $SELFAUTODIR doesn't return anything since replacing it
with something sensible starts working.

Alan - if you just need to be able to typeset the document, change
TEXMFOS in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf (or copy that file to
texmf-local/web2c if you want to keep the file) to the folder where
you want the formats to be
(/Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/texmf-osx-intel for example). I'll
try to figure out what's going on in the meantime.

On the other hand,

 kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXFORMATS'
.:/context/tex/texmf-osx-intel/web2c

So maybe some ConTeXt script fails to interpret SELFAUTODIR.

Salut,


The minimals I installed at Aoril 23. are working.

(The first "texexec <something>" were very slow; than I forgot it ... ;-)

Happy May

Thanks again, Mocja. I am currently in between projects (next starts  
on Monday), so have some time to “play around” this weekend.

All best, Alan

I commited some temporary patches to setuptex that should work in
theory, but I don't give my word for it.
