Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

Hi Thomas,

1. There is no great issue to install ConTeXt Standalone in /usr/local/context; 
it's only a simple advice that I gave to put context in such a directory as 
/home/Document (e.g. : on Linux Ubuntu) in order to make things clear for 
beginners; and you can install it in /opt/context if you want it. I have 
installed CTX in /home/MyComputer/context
, because the whole documentation and files I want to use are near. Under 
Windows, ConTeXt is installed in C:\users\MyComputer\Documents\context. 
As you know, ConTeXt Standalone is a bundle which is self-sufficient (it 
doesn't need any extra-package, except some more fonts). I don't have tried yet 
to work with ConTeXt and Perl/Python, because my goal is to understand ConTeXt 
step by step in order to write a documentation in French (and I am starting 
from the beginning), starting by the easiest way to code a document and ending 
by some project structures.

2. commands like 'context --generate' and 'context --make' , typed after this 
previous one: '. setuptex', allow to build all the trees that you need 
thereafter, including databases. After that, you have to set your environment 
variables (in PATH). If you don't do that, you'll see your Linux system 
complain with such enigmatic formulas as 'ConTeXt is not installed', or 'mtxrun 
is not installed. You can installed it with apt-get install mtxrun', etc.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

Thanks Jean-Pierre, and no, you're not carrying owls to Athens, in 
whatever language. ;) I'm very new to ConTeXt and not all that 
experienced in the Linux world either. My French is honed on cooking 
recipes rather than computing and coding, but I was able to follow your 
page allright.


1. I don't have my standalone ConTeXt tree anywhere under /home/... but 
in /usr/local/context/..., as suggested on the wiki. Would that make a 
difference?


2. What do "--generate" and "--make" do? I remember having run them at 
one occasion or other, but to no avail as to the TeXworks problem. 
Shouldn't they be run by the installation script anyway?


I had managed the fonts database stuff, thanks to the wiki and some 
trial and error. It was time I learned about environment variables in 
Linux and Xfce anyway.


Cheers -- Thomas

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:

Well, it isn't normal, apparently. I remember I tried that at some 
stage, but it didn't work. The problem was not finding mtxrun and 
starting it, but rather that mtxrun, once started, couldn't find some of 
its config files.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

[Jean-Pierre Delange]

And don't forget to do this before coding :
1) cd /home/[...]/context/tex/. setuptex
This command answers this : "Setting "/home/JohnDoe/context/tex" as ConTeXt 
root."
2) Then : cd .../context/tex/texmf-win64 (or linux64) with a x64 computer
3) Then type : 
context --generate 
and type : context --make

4) Finally, if you add fonts (in /usr/share/fonts, or $HOME/.fonts), don't 
forget to reload the font database (in the same depositery as 3)); the command

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

- Then, you should add the folder where context.exe (and all

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

- to test if you did it correctly open your command line and simply

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

- 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.

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

[Thomas Fehige]

Now I uninstalled the texlive version of ConTeXt and did a total new 
install of the standalone version. That did not help at all. There's 
something wrong happening within the mtxrun.


I added a new "compiler" to TeXworks that only executes the command 
printenv and it lists the following environment settings:


TEXROOT=/usr/local/context/tex

PATH=/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64:/usr/local/context/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64/bin 



OSFONTDIR=/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/share/fonts;/home/thomas/.local/share/fonts 



They look pretty correct to me. But still mtxrun complains:

--

... resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found

resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF)

resolvers | resolving |

mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated

...

resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found

resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF)

...

mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Yes I have two versions of ConTeXt. I have TeXlive from the Ubuntu

to the new version at the top of that list in TeXwoks' preferences. 
And it does find and run the new version of mtxrun.

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"


- 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

- 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.


- then in the lower halfth create a new processing tool by clikcking on 
the plus:


- call it CTX mkiv or something
- in the program field either search for your context.exe, or if added 
to the system paths correctly, simply enter context.exe in the Program field
- for arguments add:$fullname(this parses the 
filename to context compiler)
- if you want to use the sync code <-> pdf feature, also add another 
argument:--synctex=-1


that's it. there is the option to make this the default profile at the 
bottom of the Typesetting window.


Now you can test it: paste

\starttext
Hello World!
\stoptext

into a new file and save it somewhere. then use your freshly set up 
processing tool. after compilation the pdf viewer should pop up.



I hope that helps, Seba

It is possible that you have more than one version of ConTeXt

OK, thank you, that helped. Everything is fine from the command line.

I seem to be overlooking something as to the setup of TeXworks, though. I
copied the programme calls from the tools.ini that came with the ConTeXt
standalone version into the present tools.ini that lives in my personal
TeXworks config folder. I also added /usr/local/context/bin to the "paths
for TeX and friends" in the TW preferences window.

Now TW starts the correct mtxrun, but the run crashes with, after a lot of
file searching:

mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

Try to run (the correct) "mtxrun --generate" either from the command
line (or from TW just before you start ConTeXt if the command line
doesn't help).

That wasn't it. Below is the logfile. The command issued by TeXworks 
should be


mtxrun --autogenerate --script context my_extensions001.tex

A file "texmfcnf.lua" is found at three places:

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 
25/03/2016)

/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 25/03/2016)
/usr/local/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua (last modified: 
28.11.2012)


The last one is the one I installed this morning.

Try to run (the correct) "mtxrun --generate" either from the command
line (or from TW just before you start ConTeXt if the command line
doesn't help).

[NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

OK, thank you, that helped. Everything is fine from the command line.

I seem to be overlooking something as to the setup of TeXworks, though. 
I copied the programme calls from the _tools.ini_ that came with the 
ConTeXt standalone version into the present _tools.ini_ that lives in my 
personal TeXworks config folder. I also added _/usr/local/context/bin_ 
to the "paths for TeX and friends" in the TW preferences window.


Now TW starts the correct _mtxrun_, but the run crashes with, after a 
lot of file searching:


mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'


 Cheers -- Thomas
