a question about ConTeXt + AUCTeX

a question about ConTeXt + AUCTeX

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear all,

Recently I installed Aquamacs Emacs which is nicely working. And I  
also found AUCTeX macros in the wiki.
Since I am a newbie to AUCTeX, I don't know how to apply such codes to  
Aquamacs.

Would someone tell me how to do that?

When I choose PDFConTeXt-en>command > ConTeXt, it runs with the command
"texexec --once --pdf ...".
Is there any way to change it to "texmfstart texexec ..."?

Thank you.

Dalyoung Jeong

that;s indeed the prefered way to call texexec (more efficient too)

I don't use Aquamacs precisely because I find customizing it more  
difficult than other Carbon Emacsen, but you can try this:

M-x customize-variabel <Return>
TeX-command-list <Return>

in the list, scroll down to ConTeXt and change the Command to  
texmfstart texexec %t. You have to make sure yourself that texmfstart  
is in your $PATH and that Aquamaces knows about this $PATH. You can  
also add other commands, I have "LuaConTeXt mtxrun --script context  
%t" and "XeConTeXt texmfstart texexec --xtx %t".

I'm not sure what your question is. Have you tried the solution I've  
given? Is it working? If you use the customize command, this will  
write to your .emacs file.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for your reply.

XeTeX+ ConTeXt is working after adding a command as you said. 
(customize-variaable)
But Lua + ConTeXt is not working.

If I do "mtxrun --script context ...", then it complains.

Running `Other' on `test-lua' with ``mtxrun --script context %t''

If I changed the command "texmfstart texexec --lua %t", then I got the  
following.

However, the same command  worked well in a terminal.

Maybe the system setup of yours is different from mine.
Usually I run "source .luatex" first before running luatex.
So my guess is that emacs couldn't know the luatex path even though it  
is known in another program "terminal".

Am I correct? If so, how to apply environment .luatex to global  
condition? Otherwise, what are wrong in my setup?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung Jeong

Yes I think you are correct; if you start emacs *from this terminal from
which you issued "source .luatex"* you will probably see that emacs knows
luatex; this is what I had on my system, before I found how to have all my
emacs know the proper environment. I am on linux and I believe you are on
mac, so I'm not sure my experience can be extended to you?

If needed I will be more specific.

Yes, you're both right. What I do (and what I find the easiest way):  
start emacs from the same terminal where you have issued  
"source .luatex" with the command "open -a emacs". That way, emacs  
should know about path variables.

Emacs has a setenv command, so you could "do" the whole setuptex
in elisp with commands like this in your emacs startup script:

(setenv "TEXMF"
"{$TEXMFOS,$TEXMFPROJECT,$TEXMFFONTS,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}")

Maybe that is an idea?

Cheers,
Taco

Yes, that would be possible (but you would also have to set the PATH  
variable). Another idea on Mac OS X is the use of an environment.plist  
which will set variables for all GUI applications. I'm not very much  
in favor of that, though, because it has created problems in the past  
with Geben Wierda's TeX installer. Since I spend much of my time in a  
terminal window anyway, I find it easiest to start emacs and/or gvim  
from there.

Best

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Thank you for all the replies.

I open "Aquamacs emacs" from the terminal in which "source .luatex"  
was executed.
Then it worked fine.

For other methods, I'll try later.

By the way, is it normal to run "luatools --generate" and "luatools -- 
ini --verbose --compile ..." whenever I start computer? Or, I missed  
something in my setup.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung Jeong

In the instructions I wrote a while ago on the list, I suggested  
putting the luatex-cache directory into the /tmp folder. This means it  
will be deleted at every reboot, so you'll indeed have to run these  
two commands at every startup. Now, luatex and mkiv have become more  
stable, so I wouldn't recommend that anymore. In your .luatex file,  
change the first line to

export TEXMFCACHE="$HOME"

This way, the directory luatex-cache will be generated in your home  
directory and will persist across reboots, and you won't have to run  
these commands unless a new version comes out.
