I usually use a makefile for this.
There I have build rule that first cds into the target directory, then calls 
context from there.

Betreff: [NTG-context] Can ConTeXt write its pdf to a different directory?

My .tex file is in a directory within my working directory. I would like 
ConTeXt to write its output in the same directory as my .tex file. But it 
writes to the working directory.

This was asked 10 years ago:
`tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67928/how-to-set-output-directory-in-context-command`

The answer given then was to use:
`context filename --result=output-directory/filename`

But this doesn't work now. When I compile my .tex file, I get a message:
`results are to be on the running path, not on 'output-directory', ignoring 
--result`

I've looked in the wiki:
`https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context`

Thank you,
Peter
