Schmitz @ 2008-06-16 7:05 UTC (permalink / raw) To: mailing ConTeXt users list for Hi all, Hans, Taco, this is kind of a continuation of the thread about installers etc. I'm currently test-driving TeXLive 2008 and was wondering if we could make it a bit easier for new users to just try out ConTeXt. The binaries reside in <tl2008-directory>/2008/bin/<arch>; the installer gives the choice to put symlinks in system directories. Would it make sense to place some ConTeXt symlinks into the bin directory? For Unixoid systems, I am thinking of these: mtxrun -> ../../../2008/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua luatools -> ../../../2008/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua and maybe place the stub "context" into this bin directory as well. I don't know how this would work for widnoze. I'm thinking of a potential casual user who has just installed TeXLive and should be able to simply run a "Hello World" document by typing "context myfile." Does that make sense?

This is already taken care of. It is not in the current 'testing' because Karl is still working on it, but the files are committed and this will be done. A similar solution exists for windows, btw.

Excellent, and sorry for the noise. Thanks Taco!
