Installation problem (was Updates without rsync)

Installation problem (was Updates without rsync)

[richard.stephens]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to get a clean, up-to-date installation of Context on Windows
(without using rsync), so started from scratch as follows:

1. Downloaded
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/minimals-snapshot-mswin.zip
2. Unzipped to C:\Tools\context
3. Renamed C:\Tools\context\texmf-context to texmf-context-old
4. Downloaded cont-tmf.zip and unzipped contents to
c:\Tools\context\texmf-context
3. From command window, ran:
      cd \Tools\context
      setuptex\0      mktexlsr\0      luatools --generate\0      luatools
--selfupdate\0      mtxrun   --selfupdate\0      texexec --make\0      context
--make
4. To generate new pdf, ran:\0      context testdoc.tex

Everything seemed to execute without errors until the last step which
returned:

MtxRun | loading configuration for C:/Tools/context/texmf/web2c from
C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/trees/90e2367b37b32bcc25e442581c9e72e2
MtxRun | run 1: luatex
--fmt="C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en"

--lua="C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.lua"
 "./testdoc.tex"
luatex.exe:
C:/Tools/context/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt:
 No such file or directory
MtxRun | fatal error, code: 1

Looking at the source directory, a file "testdoc.top" has been created but
nothing else.

Can someone please point me towards a next step?

Thanks,

Richard

P.S. I tried copying cont-en.fmt from
"C:\Tools\context\texmf-mswin\web2c\luatex\pdftex" to the cache directory
but got "Fatal format file error, I'm stymied".

Can you try to run "luatools --generate" once more after "context --make"?

Do you downloaded the current or the beta version, the current is

   http://pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm

and the beta is

   http://pragma-ade.nl/download-2.htm

I used Emacs when I was young and idealistic, but over the years all those
keyboard commands have been beaten out of me and it's beyond me now ;-)
I did try it again recently in a flood of nostalgia, but I just couldn't
get to grips with it again.

Scite is okay, and hitting F7 to build a document is handy. It's missing a
few features, though, which would make it great e.g. a user-configurable
toolbar, so that we could add toolbar icons for ConTeXt commands (I'm
always forgetting the order of options and a button which inserted a
\placefigure command with reminders would be fantastic).

Anyway, that's a bit off topic.

Regards,

Richard

Why not Emacs :) It's also quite nice for ConTeXt.

I was trying various things and downloaded the beta version of cont-tmf.zip
(from http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-2.htm ) instead of the current
version and it all works, hooray!
Thank-you, everyone, for your help. I'm so pleased to be able to use MKIV
now for the first time - it even gives me Helvetica when I ask for it.
All I've got to do now is get Scite working again :-(

Thanks,

Richard
