but it is not hard to set the path correctly:


PATH=$PATH\:/home/<name>/Context/tex/texmf-openbsd6.5-amd64/bin ; export PATH

This is something that I need to fix independently in the installation
script. Do you have any clue what could be done to make it work
properly on OpenBSD?

Shell scripting has always been a mystery to me. For what it is worth,
however, here is what I was able to come up with:

megaera$ cat test
echo "$SHELL"
echo "$KSH_VERSION"
SCRIPTPATH="$_"
OWNPATH=$(cd -P -- "$(dirname -- "$SCRIPTPATH")" && pwd -P)
echo $OWNPATH

megaera$ ./test
/bin/ksh
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
/home/<name>/Temp

It seems that OpenBSD uses public domain ksh also known as ksh88, as
opposed to the more common ksh93. I also found on the internet the
following code snippet for testing ksh versions:

case "$KSH_VERSION" in
(*MIRBSD*|*PD*|*LEGACY*) printf '%s\n' "$KSH_VERSION" ;;
(*) [ -z "$ERRNO" ] && printf '%s\n' "${.sh.version}" || echo ksh88/86 ;;
esac

All that said however, while it would be nice to have setuptex work on
OpenBSD also, I think anyone using it can set their own paths if they
have to.
