Error using Minimal with TeXworks

Error using Minimal with TeXworks

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

After a long time without having time to play with ConTeXt, I 
reinstalled a new Minimals using the manual method with rsync, added 
TeXworks in the proper folder.
Under Texworks, I also pointed to the bin folder of Context.

But when compiling a document, I get:
MTXrun | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua'
MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua'
MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua'
MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'context.lua'
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Any solution?

Also, is it possible to run ConTeXt from MikTeX 2.8?

Regards,

Alain Delmotte

How exactly did you install it and how exactly did you run it? You can also use
    --goodies=texworks
while intsalling the minimals.

Not that I would know of. I mean: it's possible to use it (with all
the font files that come with MikTeX), but you need to install it and
update it manually.

installation:
I downloaded: context-setup-mswin.zip
unzipped it in C:\Programmes; this created c:\Programmes\Context\...
then in Context I used: first-setup.bat (as I am not going to use MkII, 
I didn't install Ruby); the installation went OK
Then I added in 
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\context\data\texworks a full 
TeXworks distribution (the one I use for other AllTeX works) without 
adding the file texworks-setup.ini which was installed with ConTeXt.

use:
before starting ConTeXt, I use:   C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\setuptex.bat
in TeXworks, in Preferences / Typesetting I added the folder: 
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\bin
I use ConTeXt MkIV, but I get the above error messages.

in texmf-context/context/data/texworks

you will find a complete setup for texworks

you can start texworks (on windows) with

mtxrun --script texworks --start

and it will be in context only mode then

it defaults to running luatex (mkiv) but will listen to the

% engine=pdftex

directive (such directives are handled by the texexec and context 
scripts so one can sort of tag the document as mkii/mkiv although this 
feature dates from the mkzero times)

no clue .. there was a time that mojca showed me a working miktex

It used to work until Hans started using texmfstart.exe. As opposed to
standalone version of ConTeXt some paths had not been resolved
properly on MikTeX (a bug in ConTeXt), but nobody had ever debug the
behaviour, so CS removed ConTeXt from MikTeX packages.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. The main issue is that miktex has a 
completely different way of configurating the tree. Also, last time i 
looked into it there were also some hard codes assumptions with regards 
to multiple trees.

Anyhow ... the minimals are probaby a better way to go.

btw, texmfstart.exe is just the ruby script with ruby packages in a zip 
and at some point that wrapper system changed (out of our control) but 
the latest texmfstart is just mtxrun (using lua) ... the only snippet of 
ruby in use is texexec/texutil and even that can go away (i simply have 
no time to finish the texutil bit although i have a prototype).

The correct directory should be
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin

Which is even worse since MikTeX has been promising to release LuaTeX
for a long time (already for 2.8) and thene's still just a question
mark to whether it will be released in 2.9.

At the moment there would be two options:
- fix the old texmfstart (probably won't happen)
- wait for luatex in MikTeX

no, because

(1) ruby is not downward compatible and i'm not going to waste too much 
time on that
(2) i haven't looked into the exe builder (exerb) for a while and hav 
eno time for that either

> - wait for luatex in MikTeX

yes, or use some ancient texmfstart
