compile problems

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Hi gang,

I'm having trouble compiling the eomega format with the latest ConTeXt 
(6-21):

\texmf-var\web2c>eomega --ini *plain \dump

works, but then

\texmf-var\web2c>texexec --make --alone en -tex=eomega
eomega: unrecognized option `-translate-file=natural.tcx'
Try `eomega --help' for more information.

fails. On the other hand

eomega --ini *cont-en

works, but then I get e.g.,

             executable : EOMEGA
                 format : cont-en
              inputfile : decision
                 output : standard
              interface : en
           current mode : none
                TeX run : 1

EOMEGA: unrecognized option `-translate-file=natural.tcx'
Try `EOMEGA --help' for more information.

Please help!

Best
Idris

texexec is adding a -translate-file=  option; please check your
texexec.ini file and remove any -translate-file=.. option from
the options passed to the tex engine.

Hi,

There is really something screwy going on with the latest beta; what is 
the problem calling upon the /texmf/web2c/natural.tcx file?? I hope 
someone can help with this soon; this is like having a flat tire in the 
middles of nowhere...

Did you receive my previous mail? tcx files don't make sense
for omega and derivative. Remove the -translate-file option
from texexec.ini and try again.

Wow, I don't know how I missed that; I checked this morning to c if anyone 
had responded...

I'll try again and report back.

There are no *.ini files in the latest beta, but 2 *.rme files; which one 
of them should be modified (or both)?

diff ./texmf/context/config/texexec.rme ./texmf/scripts/context/perl/texexec.rme

-> no difference ;-)

copy one of those to texexec.ini. I have mine here:
texmf/context/config/texexec.ini

HTH,

Patrick

I just modified both; it appears 2 work now. Now I can test some things in 
the new beta...

I hope that in the next beta something can be done to obliviate the need 
to edit the rme files! (Or better, an Aleph-pdfetex merge but I'll stop 
dreaming for now:-<)

Just put the ini file in a place that doesn't get erased on an update.

Maybe GB/Olaf can let aleph/eomega ignore that (or other unknown) switches? (so that we don't need to set up those tex's differently)

This can probably be done. I'll see if I can get it done for
Aleph RC3 this week.

Upcoming TeXlive should do that; you do get a warning but the program
will muddle on.
