Using the standalone ConTeXt, how do I add access to my texmf-local tree

Using the standalone ConTeXt, how do I add access to my texmf-local tree

[Gerben Wierda]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 754 bytes --]

I’m trying to migrate to mkiv and I’m running into a host of troubles. Here is one:

publications    > wrote a new auxiliary file 'prd_book.aux'
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2014)
The top-level auxiliary file: prd_book.aux
The style file: cont-no.bst
I couldn't open database file gwierda.bib
---line 3 of file prd_book.aux
 : \bibdata{gwierda
 :                 }


The reason is that by using this command

(. /usr/local/src/ConTeXt/tex/setuptex && context test.tex)

I may have the latest ConTeXt compiling test.tex (it just adds that to te front of PATH), but I’ve lost access to additions I keep in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local and ~/Library/texmf)

How do I make sure the standalone ConTeXt gets access to these?

Doesn’t change the problem. It won’t find files outside the standalone ConTeXt tree.

I couldn't open database file gwierda.bib
---line 3 of file prd_book.aux
 : \bibdata{gwierda
 :                 }

Where do you have your bib file?

The minimals use ~/texmf for the local tex folder.

Can I adapt that in some way, so I can add a few texmfs to the search path? I have no problem with adapting a file or setting an environment variable.

texmfcnf.lua (can be in your texmf-local tree) or the TEXMF env var; not 
so different from regular texlive, only in a different configuration file

I have a question regarding texmcnf.lua + TEXMCNF:

On my system TEXMFCNF points to a folder where I have a special
texmf.cnf that I need for texlive. 

This disturbs context:

resolvers       | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird
path 'D:/texmfcnf/' from specification 'D:/texmfcnf/'

and as there is not texmfcnf.lua the search pathes can't be setup.

I would like to add a texmfcnf.lua there which helps context to find
and load the standard configuration. What should be the content of
such a texmfcnf.lua?

I tried with

return {
    type    = "configuration",
    version = "1.",
    date    = "2015-03-04",
    time    = "14:00:00",
    comment = "ConTeXt MkIV configuration file",
    author  = "Ulrike Fischer",
    content = {
       variables = {
       TEXMFCNF     =
{"D:/context-minimals/context/tex/texmf/web2c"}
                   }
               }
        }


but it didn't work ;-(. This doesn't setup the pathes.

I also tried
dofile("D:/context-minimals/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua")

which didn't work either.

the weird is just reported because normally there is something texmf or 
web2c in the name which isn't the case there

You can try in texmf-local/web2c:

return {
     type    = "configuration",
     version = "1.",
     date    = "2015-03-04",
     time    = "14:00:00",
     comment = "ConTeXt MkIV configuration file",
     author  = "Ulrike Fischer",
     content = {
         variables = {

             -- texroot/texmf-mine/...

             TEXMFMINE = "selfautoparent:texmf-mine",
             TEXMF     = 
"{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMODULES,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFSYSTEM,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFMINE}",
         }
     }
}

This doesn't help: context never looks in texmf-local/web2c. It
looks into D:/texmfcnf and then stops. 

But  I just realized that I have actually two context (one in
texlive 2014) and trying to setup the systems with a texmfcnf.lua
will probably give a complete mess. So I will revert to my normal
system where I change the environment variables first.

hm, normally it will look relative to the binary, in trees/web2c paths

ok; taking bins from one tex tree (full tree) and expecting them to work 
with another one is tricky due all this auto-magic; in that case setting 
the TEXMF variable as environment variable might help

(in general it's best to use a context garden tree with garden binaries 
as there we use beta bins)

Yes, but as I have set the environment variable TEXMFCNF I have
overwritten the normal behaviour.

Sorry this is a misunderstanding: I'm not trying to mix two context
versions. I want to use the standalone binaries with the standalone
trees, and perhaps the texlive context binaries with the texlive
tree. Beside this I also want to use miktex, texlive 2014, and
sometimes (for debugging) texlive 2013 ;-); 

Sorting out all this installations so that they don't interfer isn't
easy.

Re: Using the standalone ConTeXt, how do I add access to my texmf-local tree

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

Hello,

when you want to use your personal (additional) path (but apparently not a tree), e.g. for styles (environments), you can use --path switch:

"
context.exe --path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles MyFile.tex
"

(Source: "context.exe --help")

(Once I tried also:

"
set TeXMFLocal=c:\MyName\MyContextStyles & context.exe MyFile.tex
"

but ConTeXt doesn't look for TeXMFLocal nor TeXMF-Local environment paths, as I believed.)

I didn't test whether
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles/" or
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles//" or
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles/*" or
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles/**"
causes Ctx to use the whole tree instead of one path.

Best regards,

Lukas

why should it ... a path is a path unless specified otherwise

we have a runtime tree search with:

   context --path=tree://e:/tmp/whatever/**/ --global somefile.tex

which is quite ok for jobs that involve not that many files

and a cached-across-jobs search with

   context --path=dirfile://e:/tmp/whatever --global somefile.tex

(in that case you need to delete dirlist.tuc in the given path when you 
add or remove files)

the second one we use here in automated runs on servers where books are 
generated from thousands of small files sitting on an nfs share and this 
speeds up the search

the --global bypasses the check for a valid file

one "all-embracing" though "non-final" manual (even pasted together from various fragments) would be welcome;
and is asked here in the forum from time to time (especially by newbies who suppose such document must exist).

Comparing with the last (AutoCAD) manual I bought:
such Ctx manual in printed version would give 8 volumes with 1000 pages;
each volume 50 mm thick, on a thinner paper, onto 180 x 240 mm page size.
