lmtx installation paths not working

lmtx installation paths not working

[Jano Kula via ntg-context]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2539 bytes --]

Hello list,

I cannot make fresh install of lmtx to work. The structure after unzipping:
C:\data\context\bin\beta
C:\data\context\bin\beta\bin
C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex
C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex\texmf
C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex\texmf-cache
C:\data\context\bin\beta\tex\texmf-context
etc.

First compilation of texfile is not working, so mtxrun --generate is the
friend.

C:\data>mtxrun --generate

These paths contain probably correct path (watch /beta):

resolvers       | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '
*C:/data/context/bin/beta/bin*'
resolvers       | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '
*C:/data/context/bin/beta*'
resolvers       | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '
*C:/data/context/bin*'
resolvers       | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to ''
resolvers       | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to ''
resolvers       | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to 'beta'
resolvers       | resolving |

and the paths bellow have no */beta* from above, they are derived from
selfautoparent *C:/data/context/bin *(without /beta), so no surprise they
cannot be found.

resolvers       | resolving | using configuration specification
'home:texmf/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-context/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c;selfautoparent:/texmf/web2c'

Do you have an idea how to fix problem?
I will be thankful for an advice, it is quite urgent (everything was
working yesterday).

Thank you,
Jano

Hello,

I didn't mention the platform: context-setup-win64.

Thank you,
Jano

It appears that you are running the wrong mtxrun. There should be mtxrun in C:\data\context\beta\texmf-win64\bin (the texmf-win64 directory might be named slightly differently, I haven't used windows in a while). If you add that to your path, then mtxrun --generate should work.

Do you have an anti-virus product installed?

In the past I've noticed that Symantec sometimes gives a false positive on some of the ConTeXt files as they are installed and silently deletes them thinking they contain malware.

The result is a broken ConTeXt because files are missing but you have no idea which files are missing. :-(

Try temporarily disabling AV and then do a complete re-install into an empty C:/data/context directory.

Hello list,

thank you all for your advices.

Aditya was right. There was some mess in PATH variable.
Lesson learned: start with explicit paths to executables.
Still where mtxrun (Windows) was pointing to the right one, which was
fooling me.

I've noticed the problem with antivirus SW during the first installation of
lmtx.
It wasn't the case this time, but one should be aware antivirus programs
don't trust mtxrun.exe.

Thank you once again,
Jano
