Hello,
can anybody advise me how to use/install Context on a
windows environment with MikTeX 2.1 and WinEdt 5?
In ConteXt manuals it is stated that Perl needs to be
installed, which I don't have. Also the command texexec
<filename> is mentioned but this does not work as a macro
from WinEdt (I added c:\texmf\context\texmf to the PATH
variable).
Thanks for your ideas.
Gerard Hermans

Search the net for ActivePerl, they have fine Windows versions. Easy
to install.

The searched company's named ActiveState (.org, I presume; I forgot the URL).

texexec.pl is a Perl script (therefore you need Perl),
all ConTeXt scripts are located in ...texmf\context\perltk,
you should have this in your PATH. And maybe you should
have a look at runperl.zip...

I avoided the need for runperl.exe by choosing the appropriate
(ActiveState) Perl install option that allows you to double-click .pl
files to run them automatically. The reason for doing this is that
runperl.exe does not set the ERRORLEVEL environment variable. I use the
following command script file under Win2K to compile my current ConTeXt
project and start Yap if it worked or drop into the editor if there were
errors.
---start---
prompt $$
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\working directory"
texexec.pl --batch %1 00_master.tex
@echo off
if errorlevel 1 goto errors
goto noerrors
:errors
"C:\path to editor\gvim.exe" -q 00_master.log
goto end
:noerrors
if "%1" == "--pdf" goto :end
start /i yap -1 00_master.dvi
:end
---end---
I call this script from one of two links on the desktop: one just calls
this file as is and generates a DVI file - or drops into the editor if
there is a problem. The other supplies "-PDF" as the %1 parameter which
causes a PDF version to be generated instead of DVI.
Something like the above might be what you need to get your WinEDT macro
working.
HTH.

It's .com (http://www.activestate.com). I think the only free thing on
their site is ActivePerl. Works fine with ConTeXt's Perl Scripts and
is easy to install.
Since the site is a bit crowded here's the direct link to the
ActivePerl download page
http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Get.plex?id=ActivePerl .
