Hi Alex,
Thank you and Taco for helping.
In order to help solve the problem of running ConTeXt from MacTeX, I installed
MacTeX2020 (which is the same as TeXLive2020). Now if in a Terminal window I do
which context
the answer is:
/Library/TeX/texbin/context
And the answer to
which pdflatex
is
/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex
Also the answer to:
which luatools
is
/Library/TeX/texbin/luatools
So the binaries are in /Library/TeX/texbin, which is in fact an alias for
/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-darwin
Now, as you and the « ConTeXt (LuaTeX) » engin suggest, if I do
luatools --generate
then the answer is:
mtxrun | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'
It is possible that the version of mtxrun or luatools scripts in TeXLive are
not working.
I don't remember what I did with TeXLive2019 to fix the issue, but my concern
is that if including ConTeXt in TeXLive is intended for people to use it, then
it SHOULD run without such tweakings which, even for someone who is a regular
user of ConTeXt, are not easy to find.
The solution consisting of installing a standalone tree of ConTeXt, is not a
real solution because many people do not know how to do it and, even if they
could, then what would be the point of doing so much work for people who
include a ConTeXt tree in TeXLive?
Anyway, I apologize for my acrimonius remarks, and I thank you again for your
help.
The luatools script was there to offer some kpse like functionality but
it has been obsolete for ages (the generate was in mtx-base at that
time). Just use
mtxrun --generate
or
context --make
which does a generate anyway (normally)
