[NTG-context] Mojca, Miktex, and seeming success!
Mojca,
OK, saw your new post on:
http://blog.miktex.org/post/2008/05/ConTeXt-support.aspx
So, I extracted cont-tfm.zip to c:\Contet, used Miktex2.7->Settings to add it
as a Root, refreshed the filename database, but the formats will still not
build in Miktext2.7->Settings->Format cont-en.pdftex.
Creating the cont-en.pdftex format file...
Running pdftex...
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.4 (MiKTeX 2.7) (INITEX)
entering extended mode
("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\context\config\cont-en.ini")
! Emergency stop.
<*> cont-en.ini
No pages of output.
Transcript written on cont-en.log.
makefmt: pdftex failed on cont-en.ini.
initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason.
And my new format attempt won't build either:
("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\context\patterns\lang-hu.pat"
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pattern memory=30].

Transcript written on cont-en.log.
makefmt: pdftex failed on cont-en.tex.
initexmf.EXE: The operation failed for some reason.
Finally, I gave up on trying to use Miktex2.7->Settings to build the formats,
opened a DOS box, and typed:
$ texmfstart texexec --make --all
I refreshed the filename database, now things seemingly work.
This file:
\starttext
Hello, World!
\stoptext
Does compile with:
$ texmfstart texexec --pdf junk.tex
And this file:
input mp-tool
beginfig(1);
numeric u;
10u=4in;
drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0);
label.rt(btex $\theta$ etex, (5u,0));
drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u);
label.top(btex $\phi$ etex, (0,5u));
endfig;
end.
Does compile with:
$ mpost junk.mp
And more importantly, mptopdf now seemingly works, as I can now do:
$ mptopdf junk.1
Which produces junk-1.pdf and opens correctly with the correct fonts.
So, we'll see how this stands up
Thanks for the help.
Still open to further suggestion if any critique of my method.

[NTG-context] Miktex won't allow cont-en.tex change
Mojca,
I tried running Miktex2.7->Settings->Formats, selecting cont-en.pdftex, then
tried changing input filename from cont-en.ini to cont-en.tex, but I was "not
allowed to change built-in" something or other.
I tried adding a new format, calling it cont-en, compiler pdftex, and input
filename cont-en.tex, but when I tried to build, it erred with:
No pages of output.

[NTG-context] Miktex 2.7 --- Remove quotes from "%*"
Mojca,
OK. Removed quotes, so texmfstart.bat now reads:
@echo off
ruby "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\scripts\context\ruby\texmfstart.rb" %*
This now works:
$ C:\temp>texmfstart texexec --help

TeXExec | --help --all shows all switches
However, I cannot make the formats. Going to Miktex 2.7->Settings->Formats,
attempting to build cont-en results in, even though I've copied cont-en.ini
into the directory expected by Miktex 2.7.

[NTG-context] mswincontext.zip
All, A bit frustrated as I cannot seem to get a mswincontext scite combination going. I gave up on: http://pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswintex.zip. I got absolutely nowhere with the installation and trying to connect scite. So, I just downloaded: http://pragma-ade.com/context/install/mswincontext.zip After extracting to c:\context, I ran the file first-setup.bat, which proceeded to install a lot of files. Was this a correct thing to do? Strange, as the distribution size was already huge. It would really help to have a readme.txt in this distribution with installation directions. After first-setup was complete, I ran cscite.bat. Scite opened. Good! I entered the usual test file: \starttext Hello, World! \stoptext And saved as test.tex. Then I tried Tools->Compile, which resulted in this error mesage: texmfstart concheck test.tex ruby: no such file to load--ubygems (LoadError) Any suggestions?

All, I have Miktex installed. Downloaded and installed: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip to c:\context.

On the last line of SciTEGlobal.properties, I added the line "import context".

This code is causing an overflow. Isn't there a setting that will allow bigger
