mswincontext.zip installation

mswincontext.zip installation

[Jose Ignacio Marín Alberdi]

Hi all,

I am experiencing some trouble using mswincontext.zip.

I have properly installed perl and ruby as the wiki says.

(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#Stand-alone_ConTeXt_dist
ribution)

But when it comes to use cdemo.bat I got:

>texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf demo-tex.tex
TeXExec | processing document 'demo-tex.tex'
TeXExec | provide ctx file
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
TeXExec | progname: context
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.5)
 \write18 enabled.
I can't find the format file `cont-en.fmt'!
TeXExec | runtime: 2.594
>Exit code: 0


I thought this was a "click and go" package installation. I guess I have to
do some format creation and all that, but I have nothing TeXy installed
(just the mswincontext.zip). What do I need?


Thanks in advance,

jima

I get exactly the same problem today.  I decided to install the latest
mswincontext.zip since I hadn't updated for some time.  I've never been sure
of the update process so I thought this would be the best thing to do.
Luckily I still have a an old versine which I installed and worked fine.
It's dated 23 september 2005.  I have to say I would prefer the most
uptodate version with respect to bug fixes etc..

Thanks
Keith

Sorry, this step is missing on Wiki (forgotten).

Can you try the following:

Open command line (Start->Run->cmd) and do either a) or b):
a) "cd" to directory where cdemo.bat resides, execute it and exit
(this will set the path for you)

b) execute (this should be in one line):
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex
(change "C:\Programs\context" to the proper folder)

Then execute
texexec --make --all

The last one is the crucial step for making formats.

Perhaps "making formats" should be present in menu in Scite (perhaps
it already is, I can't check from here).

Re: mswincontext.zip installation

[Jose Ignacio Marín Alberdi]

Hi,

thanks ! that did it for me...

I did (a) and then (b)  :)

Here is the sequence I used (assuming C:\Programs\context)

Start->Run->cmd
cd C:\Programs\context
cdemo.bat

Then I closed the SciTe thing but I remained in the cmd.

Then, in one line as Mojca says:
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat
C:\Programs\context\usr\local\context\tex

And
texexec --make --all

Then I closed the cmd, started by double click the cdemo.bat and voila !


Thanks !

jima

there is also a colsole in scite itself (just key in texexec --make --all in the log pane)

Would some kind soul care to write up on the Wiki the best way to update the
windows stand alone version?  Please.

Not quite.

I will try to edit the wiki myself later on.

If not able I will post the message on this list that I think could be it,
so anyone with permissions can do it.
