[NTG-context] Miktex breaks install
In a fit of madness I installed Miktex and now my minimals install is borked (unknown script 'context.lua'...). Looking at the output it seems that Miktex has set a load of variables that Context is now using for itself. I suppose it would be nice to run side by side, but I guess I need to reset these variables when using Context. Is the texmfcnf.lua file the best place to put these? If so, then does anyone know what I should set the following to?

Looking at the output it seems that Miktex has set a load of variables that Context is now using for itself. Did you install minimals with windows installer or with bat file? From what I understand, MikTeX currently doesn't have any ConTeXt installed. So the whole difference that MikTeX makes is that it changes PATH to executables. If you want to use minimals, all you need to do is to put path to minimals/tex/texmf-mswin/bin in front of path to MikTeX binaries. If you don't know how to change PATH (you can either do it with set PATH=... or with GUI somewhere is system settings), please ask again. (We need a clear entry in ConTeXt wiki about that.)

Eventually ... yes, but it depends a bit on what timeframe you have in mind when you say eventually. First of all, no newer current version of ConTeXt has been released since this one. But most important: ConTeXt highly depends on the version of LuaTeX being used and that is out of our control. When the author of MikTeX will decide to upgrade LuaTeX version, ConTeXt will probably (have to) be updated at the same time.

I'm just as lost as others are. I have no idea what's wrong. I suspect
it's about spaces in filenames, but need to try it out.
Since mptopdf works for me, it isn't about spaces. It looks like the
mptopdf program could be better replaced by another simple script:

Mojca, I saw your note on blog.miktex.org: If you still want to run ConTeXt on MikTeX while it has been removed, you may create a file texmfstart.bat in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7 \miktex\bin with the content: @echo off ruby C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb %* and extract www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip into C: \Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7. Then, update filename database and generate formats, and everything should work again. Mojca I followed this advice, installed texmfstart.bat, unzipped cont- tmf.zip properly, updated the filename database, then got stuck. At the dos prompt: $ texmfstart --help Worked just fine. However, $ texmfstart texexec --help Did not work. What am I missing? If I recall I'll need to do: $ texmfstart texexec --make --all Or some such thing.

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex
Mojca, I a hopeless mac user at home now. I used to be pretty good with miktex, even working with hans to test the settings that now exist in the texexec.rme file, back in the days when we made that an .ini file in Miktex. But no longer. It's our school machines I am trying to configure, PC's with Windows XP. I got to a point today where I selected the formats tab in the Miktex Settings gui, and tried to build cont-en there. It objected that it could not find cont-en.ini in tex/something or other so I tried moving cont-en.ini from the context distribution to tex/ something or other and updating the filename database to no avail. I'll give your idea of no spaces a try tomorrow. Meanwhile if you can think of anything less drastic, as I have to do this on 20 different machines, Thanks so much. David.

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex still broken
The context in Miktex is still broken. Has anyone got experience installing the standalone version of context on windows alongside Miktex? As I have quite some legacy LaTeX-files I have Miktex 2.7, standalone Context, and a Context minimals installation on my system. They co-exist nicely on my system: Rather than pointing my path environment variable to any of those installations permanently I use batch-files to initialize whatever system I'd like to work with. These are the batch files I use; your paths will vary: - for running Miktex: REM setupmiktex.bat @echo off set PATH=C:\Programme\MiKTeX\2.7\miktex\bin;%PATH% C:\Programme\PSPad editor\PSPad.exe - for running the ConTeXt maximals (aka ConTeXt standalone): REM cstart.bat @echo off usr\local\context\cscite.bat usr\local\context - for running the minimals: REM setupminimals.bat @ECHO OFF E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex\setuptex.bat E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex you'll also have to add a line at the bottom of setuptex.bat, under :done call c:\ruby\scite\scite.exe or whatever editor you use. And one specific question, will the mptopdf command work in this dual installation? I think so; at least running mptopdf -v from a console window invoked from the editor made mptopdf tell me there was no file called '-v' to process ;-) Cheers, Peter ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Now his context won't work with this error: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 warning : texexec.ini not found, try 'texexec --verbose' TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 current path : C:/Book/IntAlgText/trunk/chapter3 locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.ini on scripts locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.ini elsewhere locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.rme on scripts locating ini file : kpsewhiching texexec.rme elsewhere locating ini file : not found by kpsewhich locating ini file : not found by searching locating ini file : no environment variable set locating ini file : not found in own path warning : texexec.ini not found, did you read 'texexec.rme'? This was working before the Miktex update. Miktex has a texexec.exe in a bin/ file. That's the one being used, but we cannot find any instance of texexec.ini in the miktex tree. I don't think Miktex uses the ini file. Anyone know what's going on here? Alternatively, could I get a suggestion for a good miktex installation of context using the zip file from Pragma? ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

This was working before the Miktex update. Miktex has a texexec.exe in a bin/ file. That's the one being used, but we cannot find any instance of texexec.ini in the miktex tree. I don't think Miktex uses the ini file. Anyone know what's going on here? No idea. I was using Miktex context for some time, but found it too cumbersome to work with. For context, miktex update is too slow. There is no particular advantage of using miktex for context. I have two parallel trees here, one for miktex and one for context and everything works fine. If hard disk space is not an issue and you do not mind installing ruby, you can instal the windows installation from pragma in a different (from Miktex texmf and localtexmf trees) directory. Use setuptex.bat to add the pragma binaries to the path only when you need them. This way, you can keep on using latex from miktex and can context from pragma.

Re: [NTG-context] Miktex, Metapost and \loadfontfilesoncetrue
Apologies for not replying to earlier emails. To be honest it is sometimes difficult to keep track of the threads and especially to whom the emails are directed. I was/am busy in doing a lot of the Latex - Context conversions with a small perl script and this consumes a lot of my time. Perhaps I should make this perl script public, as more people are making the switch to Context, however my perl programming skills are not that good, just a beginner. If someone is interested, just write an email and I will send you a copy. I will certainly try to follow and implement your suggetions and I will try to give you feedback.

The TeXLive cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex settings file says: % If you run into missing font metrics kind of problems, % you may want to uncomment: % \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] Well, I don't expect my users to understand about changing the cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex file, so the settings need to be in the file/environment and thus I put this on top of my file instead (I use ec encoding, seems to work best with Windows): \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] \usetypescript[pos] % maybe I don't need this line any more??? \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt] And it works like a charm, at least with my files. All complaints stopped at once, which made me *very* happy. Looks like I can soon provide my dummy users with something easily installable that doesn't need any tweaking...

Do miktex users have kpsewhich on their system (or is this an option), or should i use a miktex specific search tool? MiKTeX has a kpsewhich that tries to emulate the teTeX/fpTeX one, but you'd better off use the native MiKTeX tool, findtexmf -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
