Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

Tue, 17 May 2016 05:40:31 -0700 

Whew, I've got it running, finally.
For some reason, TeXworks needs to tell mtxrun explicitly where its texmf-tree is located. Meaning, an additional argument is required in TeXworks's starter setup, which now looks like this: 

name: ConTeXt MkIV
command: mtxrun
arguments:
    --tree=/usr/local/context/tex        <-- this is the one!
    --autogenerate
    --script
    context
    $fullname

In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have

    /usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64
    /usr/local/context/bin

as the top two entries.


I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to 
add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.


Thanks for listening -- Thomas

I tried that, no success (not very different from what I did before 
either). Are there other tests that I could do? Can't anybody 
interpret the messages, error and otherwise?

At the end of this website page

some explanations about the TeXWorks typesetting setting. There are 
some screen prints which may help.

I've searched through the mailing list, what the initial post to this 
topic was, but i couldn't find it. If you're having trouble to make 
context compile a document, try this:



- TeXworks tools.ini doesn't need to be edited manually. It's the 
file where TW saves the settings from " Edit -> Preferences -> 
Typesetting ".
- First of all make sure, that you downloaded ConTeXt by using 
"first-setup.exe"



That I did. Not *.exe though, being on a Linux OS, Xubuntu to be 
precise.





- Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all 
executables) are stored to your system paths: Use your browser to 
navigate to the said folder, click on the address bar and copy the 
full path. For me it looks like this: " 
F:\Sandbox\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin "
- Then add this path to your windows system paths: go to your windows 
control panel, double click " System "-> advanced settings -> 
environment variables (or something like this), in the lower halfth 
there is a window with a point " Path " . Double click it and paste 
your CTX folder pretty much at the top of the section or if there is 
only one line, add it at the beginning, and use semikolon ( ; ) to 
seperate it from the rest. Save your settings and you should be good 
to go.
- to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply 
enter " context.exe --version ". If command line tells you, that no 
context.exe was found, then you might try to add the context \bin 
folder to your system paths again


Translating this into Linux, all this works fine.




- if command line tells you the version of context, then you can 
proceed:



- start TW, " Edit -> Preferences -> Typesetting ". There check the 
upper halfth for the context folder you added to your system paths. 
If you've added it at the beginning, it should be at the top here as 
well. Alternatively use the arrows to push context\bin it to the very 
top



NOTE: this is important. if you have MikTeX installed for example and 
if its folder is listed above your context folder, TW will try to use 
exe files from the MikTeX folder. so make sure that context\bin is 
above anything related to tex, context or lua.



Thanks for your detailed description, but I'm afraid that's not it. 
Meanwhile I uninstalled all my texlive packets and reinstalled 
TeXworks without any of the texlive components, and reinstalled 
ConTeXt standalone strictly according to this: 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Ubuntu#With_ConTeXt_Standalone_.E2.80.93_should_work_with_all_Ubuntu_versions 
-- and the problem persists. mtxrun is found and started allright, 
but it complains that it can't find some files, that a database is 
outdated, and that it can't find some other files and stops without a 
pdf. Below is the complete console output as shown in TeXworks. 
Calling "context test" in a terminal window works fine, though.


Cheers -- Thomas
