Working with environments and projects

Working with environments and projects

[Jeff Smith]

Hi all!

I'm trying to work with environements, projects, products and
components. I have the following setup, involving juste one component
at the moment:

The component file is named acoustique.tex:

\startcomponent acoustique
\product prd_articlesdemo
\project project_dhfq2

[some text]

\stopcomponent

Then, in the same folder, there's the product file:

\startproduct prd_articlesdemo
\project project_dhfq2
\component acoustique
\stopproduct

Then, in the same folder, there's the project file:

\startproject project_dhfq2
\environment env_dhfq2
\product prd_articlesdemo
\stopproject

Then, in a folder above my working folder, there's the environment file:

\startenvironment env_dhfq2

[too much stuff to paste here]

\stopenvironment

Now when I compile either the component or the product, I get:

TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | nothing to process

What I am doing wrong? Is it right not to use \starttext ... \stoptext here?

Thanks!
JFS

Yes it it.

And I can't see why it shouldn't work.
Perhaps add some blank lines.
The filenames are of course the same as in your definitions?

Yes they are. I've followed everything in the Wiki or the reference
manual. I'm lost! :-)

TeXExec normally say this if there is not any file mentioned
on the command line, or if it cannot find any file based on the
name supplied on that commandline.

Quick recap (but you probably double checked all of this
a number of times by now):

1. your file is called prd_articlesdemo.tex
2. you (as a user) have file permissions to read the file
3. you are in the directory where that file is
4. your command is: "texexec prd_articlesdemo"

That really should do the trick.

I am clueless about what else could be wrong.

Best, Taco

Okay. As a verification I processed my document manually with the
command line instead of using my editor (not scite), and what do you
know, it worked!

I just had to adjust my compiler information in my editor settings,
since my component files were now placed a folder further down in the
tree. Oopsie.

Glad to know I had the ConTeXt part okay first, this time. :-)

So thanks Taco, and all!

The setup looks okay to me too.  I use a similar setup with no
problems.  I just posted its source code <http://web.mit.edu/18.098/>.
You might compare the product/project/env files there with what you
have.

But if you send me off-list a .tar.gz of your source tree (or post it
if it's public and send me the url), I'll try it here and see what
goes wrong.  That will give data on whether, for one, the problem is
something peculiar to your context setup or it's a more general issue
(e.g. either a misnamed source file or a ConTeXt bug).
