Re: Help with configuring Textadept to work with ConTeXt

[Jean-Pierre Delange <adeimantos@free.fr>]

Hi !

I don't know Textadept (I'm using TeXWorks). And it is not a good idea to have ConTeXt working in parallel with MikTeX (see here : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MikTeX). It seems that MiKTeX 2.9 is working with luatex... 
Maybe you can find some answers if you take advice from TeXWorks configuration with ConTeXt Standalone : there is no way to compile directly with pdftex. You must compile with ConTeXt MK IV luatex. For such a result, you have to set preferences in your Textadept with the good PATH (where textadept can find the setuptex of CTX). It's a good thing to adjust some variables in typesetting configuration, such as $synctexoption and $fullname.
Hope it helps !

Objet: [NTG-context] Help with configuring Textadept to work with ConTeXt

Hi folks,

i am having a hard time to configure Textadept to work with CTX on 
Windows 10. I've also searched around but can't find any usefull tutorial.

What I've done so far:
- I downloaded and installed CTX (first-setup.bat --modules=all) and I 
added "...\texmf-win64\bin" to my system path
- I downloaded and unzipped Textadept and also added the folder to my 
system path.
- I opened a *.tex file with Textadept and pressed "Tools->Compile" but 
I only got an error message:

 > pdflatex -file-line-error -halt-on-error "untitled-3.tex"
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
entering extended mode
(untitled-3.tex
LaTeX2e <2015/10/01> patch level 2
Babel <3.9n> and hyphenation patterns for 69 languages loaded.
untitled-3.tex:2: Undefined control sequence
untitled-3.tex:2:  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Transcript written on untitled-3.log.
 > exit status: 1

Now I am wondering why Textadept does choose MiKTeX as I have placed 
ConTeXt above MiKTeX in my system path.
I also tried to extract the scintillua*** lexers into Textadept's lexer 
folder but still. No pdf can be created.

I also searched Textadept's files for context entries but there is 
nothing i could change to make TA compile a file in MkIV.

Did anybody manage to get Context to work with TA and could provide some 
help? Thanks in advance.
