Can you please retry?

I would say that it's weird that nobody reported it earlier, but it's
probably because if one runs the update on top of existing
distribution, the error skips by.

It looks as if the sysadmin was changing some paths on the system and
accidentally made one search-and-replace replacement too much.

[NTG-context] Context minimals on linux armhf

Hi all,

since some days, everytime I want to run first-setup.sh I get following error 
message.

@ERROR: chroot failed
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1653) 
[Receiver=3.1.1]

Is there something wrong with the rsync server?

hm, 'fio' is only in experimental and commit were tagged as "WORK IN
PROGRESS"
so it could even possible that the code doesn't compile at all.
We are working on it.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt minimals on linux armhf

[Lutz Haseloff]

Hi all,

since yesterday, the installation of the minimals on linux armhf doesn't work
anymore. On a fresh system, after "sh ./first-setup.sh" I get:


receiving incremental file list
bin/
bin/luatex
bin/mtx-update.lua
bin/mtxrun
bin/texlua -> luatex

sent 92 bytes  received 8,631,278 bytes  1,150,849.33 bytes/sec
total size is 8,628,902  speedup is 1.00
./bin/mtxrun:2763: attempt to index global 'fio' (a nil value)

When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing:

  . /usr/local/context/tex/setuptex

in your shell or add
  "/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-armhf/bin"
to PATH variable if you want to set it permanently.
This can usually be done in .bashrc, .bash_profile
(or whatever file is used to initialize your shell).

I suspect, the new mtxrun binary doesn't match the rather old luatex (1.0.0)

Greetings Lutz

P.S. I could provide luatex and luajittext binaries for armhf (experimental or 
trunk)

[NTG-context] ConTeXt minimals, TL Contrib Mac support (ppc, =10.5)

[Mojca Miklavec]

Dear Mac lovers,

After yesterday's system failure on my computer I installed the new OS
which means that I'm no longer able to compile binaries for Leopard
and PPC. (My computer failure wasn't planned, but it has been known
for a long time that we will have problems supporting those OS-es and
architectures.)

For some time Richard Koch will try to take over the compilation, but
the future of support for PPC and/or Tiger  Leopard users cannot be
taken for granted. At the moment ConTeXt minimals still support Tiger.
TeX Live only supports Leopard.

This is just a preliminary note. We don't plan to switch off the
support tomorrow, but if there will still be users wanting to use
older operating systems when Dick upgrades all of his machines, we
will have to find other people willing to help with regular
compilations or we will simply cease to support those OS-es and
processors.

If OpenType fonts are not in distribution, you have two options:

a) Install them on your system and make sure that OSFONTDIR variable
is properly set (you need to set it manually, either in texmfcnf.lua
under texmf-local or in top folder; or you need an environmental
variable)

b) Put the font under texmf-local/fonts/opentype/whatever or under
texmf-fonts (same location; you need to create texmf-fonts folder
first) or under ~/texmf (again, same substructure).

Option (a) is not too well tested.

We could get some of that statistics from people browsing the minimals

should be similar to some extent.

If you are willing to write some code to transform IPs into some

this is because luatools is now a shortcut to mtxrun --script base so 
you only need to selfupdate mtxrun ... originally luatools was meant as 
a generic stub for making luatex formats etc but as I don't expect it to 
be used outside context it's sort of gone as independent script as 
mtxrun can do most of the same (what's left ended up in mtx-base)

no, luatools (or mtxrun --script base) sort of does what kpsewhich does 
and as such it also generates a file database so luatools will stay as 
shortcut

  Right. I have tried
 
  unset TEXMFCACHE

Sorry, my mistake. If I unset TEXMFCACHE, then mtxrun is run also from 
the command line and the behaviour is consistent with what happens from 
TeXShop - which, in turn, is consistent with what Hans explains below.

 we used to have texmfstart as script runner (all scripts are located and 
 started by a runner which is faster than using some kpse locator esp 
 when having nested runs as with metafun in mkii)
 
 so, texexec used to be
 
texmfstart texexec
 
 however, nowadays mtxrun is the runner and it replaces texmfstart for 
 mkii as well and in order to do this, it needs the file database and 
 that one ends up in the cache so even for mkii there is a cache needed 
 (when I'm in the mood I'll check the lua texutil variant in which case 
 we can also kick out ruby which is currently only needed for mkii)
 
 Hans

Everything is clear now. Thank you!

 Hi,

 Is there any reason why exporting TEXMFCACHE is commented out in

The variable TEXMFCACHE is set in
tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
and that one should do the job. Under usual circumstances at least.

If that one is not being respected, something might be wrong. Do you
have any other texmfcnf.lua file somewhere else?

(Note that you are also free to rename setuptex and modify it
according to your own needs, but it makes sense to debug this first.)

 You can set it up in a texmfcnf.lua file in your texmf-local/web2c tree.
 
 Anyway, it is unlike to conflict as I hash the path so one cache can 
 serve many trees.

Ah, I hadn't realized that! That simplifies things a lot!

No, I export TEXMFCACHE in my .profile, because I want the cache to be 
inside my home folder. After running setuptex, ConTeXt minimals uses 
that rather than the path specified in texmfcnf.lua. Since now I know 
that luatex-cache can be shared, for me this is perfectly fine. I just 
had to adjust the TeXShop engines (I am on Mac OS X) by explicitly 
setting TEXMFCACHE for XeTeX and MKII, besides MKIV.

So, if I get it right, the value in texmfcnf.lua is used unless 
TEXMFCACHE is set.

 This is a small font, so I think that it is OK to just add this to the

Hi Aditya,

right, the ebuild for dstroke is just a load the font and copy it to the 
appropriate directorys... If it is included in a later version of context-
minimals it would be nice to get informed about it, so I can can delete 
the usage of the ebuild for dstroke...

Hi Mojca,

the font is not available in ConTeXt, but it is supported, you only need 
to activate it in the Document as described at http://
wiki.contextgarden.net/Doublestroke
so it is usable, but not included and I think the only nice way to get 
the Doublestroked fonts done...

ok, that way aditya can have a look at it

If I understand correctly, the context-dstroke ebuild is just downloading 
the doublestroke font http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/doublestroke/ 
and installing it in a proper TDS structure.


This is a small font, so I think that it is OK to just add this to the 
minimals. Mojca, what do you think?

I'm sorry. I'm here and I'm reading, it's just that I didn't yet
figure out what to reply to you about git. About the speed of git:
it's indeed very fast, but you need to bear in mind that you would
need to download the whole archive of every single luatex binary
version (OK, compressed, but still).

If we start shipping the minimals as git repository (but then we would
ship it as a whole) it would be best to just put a cron job on
contextgarden.net that would update on regular bases. Volunteer?

Mojca

PS: rsync also updates only changed files which was still better
than updating the whole zip, though it does update the whole files,
not just the differences between files. It also has an advantage that
one would then easily switch back in time locally if something goes
wrong.

[NTG-context] context minimals

[Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz]

Hi Hans, hi list,

some questions for the minimals, used the texlive version up to now and 
then found out that the 2k9 version of texlive has problems using context 
mkii and mkiv.

so now I will start to use context from the minimals. so would be nice to 
have some infos before starting. Is the howto in the contextgarden-wiki 
still up to date or something needed to be changed in there?
Is the repository for the minimals only available via rsync or as git 
too? And if there is no git version available is it planed to get a git 
repo, or can one simply add one, as I would write an ebuild for funtoo 
afterwards it would be easier for me to sync it that way, because it is 
faster and only updates changes, compared to rsync.

If wished I could first make my github-account available for a git repo.

Hi Hans,

thanks for your info, so I have the opinion that the git is much faster 
and if contextgarden has one, is it possible to add a git for the 
minimals there or who does one have to ask for it.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt minimals: Issue with file.iswritable and 'Cg'

[Tobias Burnus]

I use contextgarden.net/minimals/ and the following problems showed up
after an update.

a) file.iswritable(cachepath)  failed. The directory is writable for the
user but not for others. I have not debugged why it failed. Affected
file: tex/texmf-linux/bin/luatools

b) bin/mtxrun failed at line 5013: Somehow my lua(tex) did not digest
the Cg:
protocol = Cg(V(letters),protocol) * P(://) +
Cg(Cc(nil),protocol),

tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:5013: attempt to call local 'Cg' (a nil value)

Any ideas? (I removed the readable check as work around and changed the
Cg to P as quick work around.)

Tobias

PS: I use Fedora 6, which is the dated but centrally installed Linux here.

Neither problem happens here, so I suspect that your 'texlua' is still
an older version (didn't get updated somehow). What does 'texlua
--version' output?

Good point: context/tex/texmf-linux/bin/luatex missed an executable bit
-- and surprisingly there is a /usr/local/TeX/bin/i386-linux/texlua
build 915, created on 20071128T092554Z, which gets picked up instead.

The problem is that running
  sh first-setup.sh --extras=t-letter,t-mathsets,t-bib
causes an rsync, which removes the executable bit and thus
./bin/mtx-update.lua --update fails again.

Could someone fix the executable bit at
rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals//bin/* ?

Thanks for the suggestion to check the texlua version.

If it doesn't get fixed after updating, please let me know. (This time

they are compiled, so this has never been a problem so far.)

it means that there is no lpeg.Cg and indeed that is a pretty old luatex

[NTG-context] ConTeXt minimals for arch linux

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi all,

Any context users using arch linux out there?

I have packaged context-minimals for arch linux. It is basically the 
first-setup.sh script simplified for arch linux (no platform checking, 
etc). I also modified the setuptex script to make sure it works in a 
multiuser environment (basically setting TEXMFCACHE to $HOME/texmf-cache).


The PKGBUILD is available at
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398

To install packages from AUR, you need to install yaourt
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt

and then you can install context using

yaourt -S context-minimals-git

(the -git extension is just to coax yaourt to keep the downloaded files, 
so that rsync makes sense).


It installs the minimals at /opt/context-minimals

That is great! Thank you for the work. I will try it when I have time. A
package surely will make it easier for beginners to get started.

I want to thank Hans and Mojca for the patching and the kindness.

Jose.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals parsing of .tui broken with ruby 1.9.1 in Windows

[Jose Augusto]

Hello all,

I want to report a problem that is either in ConTeXt, or in ruby 1.9.1
(last version of ruby). More probably, the problem has to do with ruby
handling non-ASCII characters. I have no means of trying Linux, Solaris,
etc...
Anyone using ConTeXt with ruby 1.9.1 will face it probably (at least in
Windows :-)

The problem happens with all files, even with the simple Hello:

\starttext
Hello World
\stoptext

After installing ConTeXt Minimals (the devel version) yesterday,
I ran the above example with ruby 1.9.1-p129 in Windows
(both Win 2000 and XP show the problem).

Meanwhile I compiled and tried several versions of Ruby, and found the
following pattern of problems:

ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32] PROBLEM
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mingw32]PROBLEM
ruby 1.9.0 (2008-10-04 revision 19669) [i386-mingw32]  No problem
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mingw32]  No problem
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i386-mingw32]  No problem

So, whatever it is, it is broken with ruby 1.9.1.
All the versions of ruby were compiled in Windows using the mingw toolchain,
with GCC 3.4.5.


 Here is the description of what happens   

When texutil parses the .tui file, I get the following (see comments after
this text output):

-
...
Output written on con-hello1.pdf (1 page, 21759 bytes).
Transcript written on con-hello1.log.
TeXUtil | parsing file con-hello1.tui
TeXUtil | debug 1 jasa #File:0x1271d18

TeXUtil | commands: 2
TeXUtil | programs: 0
TeXUtil | tuo file saved
TeXExec | runtime: 2.703125


The lines with debug 1 jasa and starting with xxx result from
the simple debug code I inserted in the file texutil.rb to find the
problematic line. The error happens when the following ruby code
is executed: (the extra  debug lines have a mark # jasa )

-- texutil.rb (snippet, around line 1025)
--

def loaded(filename)
begin
tuifile = File.suffixed(filename,'tui')
if FileTest.file?(tuifile) then
report(parsing file #{tuifile})
if f = open(tuifile) then
report(debug 1 jasa #{f})  # jasa
f.each do |line|
print xxx #{line}  # jasa
case line.chomp
when /^f (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyFiles',$1.splitdata)
when /^c (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1])
when /^e (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyExtras',   $1.splitdata)
when /^s (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MySynonyms', $1.splitdata)
when /^r (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyRegisters',$1.splitdata)
when /^p (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyPlugins',  $1.splitdata)
when /^x (.*)$/o then
@plugins.reader('MyKeys', $1.splitdata)
when /^r (.*)$/o then # nothing, not handled
here
else
# report(unknown entry #{line[0,1]} in line
#{line.chomp})
end
end
f.close
end
else
report(unable to locate #{tuifile})
end
rescue
report(fatal error in parsing #{tuifile})
@filename = 'texutil'
else
@filename = filename
end
end

---

From the debugging lines that are expelled, it is clear that the line in the
.tui file that triggers the problem is:

c \thisisbytesequence{ ...non-ASCII codes... }

and, precisely, it s the second line of the 'case':

when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1])

which processes the .tui line and triggers the 'rescue' clause. So I think
the problem lies in the digestion
of non-ASCII characters by the last version of Ruby.

I don't know what is the meaning of the \thisisbytesequence line in ConTeXt
and the maening of those non-ASCII chars. I followed the
@plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1])
and figured out that what raises the exception happens before the
@plugins.reader method,
since it is never reached when the  \thisisbytesequence line is

I ran the above example with ruby 1.9.1-p129 in Windows
(both Win 2000 and XP show the problem).


(maybe mojca can patch this in core-uti.mkii: ):


% \appendtoks
%   \immediatewriteutilitycommand{\thisisbytesequence{\testbytesequence}}%
% \to \everyopenutilities

\let\testbytesequence  \empty % keep this
\let\thisisbytesequence\gobbleoneargument % keep this

The reason for this test is that in the past there were engines around 
that were 8 bit but configured to be 7 bit. Especially tetex was a 
problem but as that is now obsolete we can remove this test.



Meanwhile I compiled and tried several versions of Ruby, and found the
following pattern of problems:

ruby 1.9.1p129 (2009-05-12 revision 23412) [i386-mingw32] PROBLEM
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30 revision 21907) [i386-mingw32]PROBLEM
ruby 1.9.0 (2008-10-04 revision 19669) [i386-mingw32]  No problem
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mingw32]  No problem
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [i386-mingw32]  No problem

So, whatever it is, it is broken with ruby 1.9.1.
All the versions of ruby were compiled in Windows using the mingw toolchain,
with GCC 3.4.5.


actually, ruby 1.9+ broke the scripts anyway, as some file related 
functionality was no longer available (and moved to modules) so i 
already adapted all the ruby scripts



From the debugging lines that are expelled, it is clear that the line in the

..tui file that triggers the problem is:

c \thisisbytesequence{ ...non-ASCII codes... }

and, precisely, it s the second line of the 'case':

when /^c (.*)$/o then @plugins.reader('MyCommands', [$1])

which processes the .tui line and triggers the 'rescue' clause. So I think
the problem lies in the digestion
of non-ASCII characters by the last version of Ruby.


looks that way ... quite disturbing if they changed the default; maybe 
they move to utf8 but then i'd expect that to happen in 2+ versions


thanks for looking into it

Hans

 I didn't find discussion on that on the list, so I think it

 I've been using these for a few months (darcs and, recently,
 mercurial), and I can tell it's really worth, although I
 don't know if developers do have time to try or plan such kind
 of switch.

The very first plan was to make everything based on svn. The problem
is that svn is still very very limited. I was experimenting with
darcs, but didn't have enough knowledge about it, and darcs consumes
twice the space needed if I remember correctly, so that was somehow
ruled out before I even started thinking ...

I wanted to have one special kind of functionality, namely, being able
to choose which modules to install, which engines to install, which
fonts to install etc. SVN doesn't offer that. Darcs does with some
clever trickery, but see above.

We did consider ... but didn't have the right idea about the exact
inplementation. Also, I didn't expect so serious problems with version
mismatches. ConTeXt will soon be available with all beta versions as a
git repository, but we would have to put everything else into some
repository as well.

Hello Mojca,

SVN supports sparse directories¹. Perhaps this can solve the problem.

 Hallo, gentlemen.

 I've just tried to install the latest stable ConTeXt minimals on my new

 right, but it isn't able to create formats (MarkII; I don't know how to use
 MarkIV). If I try run
  texexec --make --all

  ...TEXROOTDIR/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/mtxrun:8707: attempt to

It's counter-intuitive, but I'm afraid that stable might be a bi

Hans has recently (for ConTeXt time scale that would be iron-age)
replaced some ruby scripts by lua scripts (texmfstart by mtxrun) and
now even mkii depends on luatex, but since we only provide a single
luatex binary at the moment, it either breaks current or beta. I
should have fixed that, but not now.

Possible solutions:
1.) just take the beta (easiest); most recent problems only affect
mkiv users; there are almost no changes in mkii, so you should be on
the safe side
2.) create a new texexec with texmfstart texexec instead of mtxrun
texexec and make sure that it comes first in path
3.) fetch an older luatex; there should be one at something like
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/linux/luatex/beta-0.31.3/,
but the one for linux-64 is missing for unknown reason (the plan is to
fix it ...)

I didn't try any of the 2/3 options, I'm just blindly guessing.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt minimals installation problem

[Mohamed Bana]

here's how i did it (, if i remember correctly).

get a a luatex binary and dump it into the dir of the last command

  $ . ~/context.distro/tex/setuptex
  ...
  $ which luatex
  

does this work?

  svn cat
http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/bin/tex/linux-64/current/luatex/bin/lua...@030
 `which luatex`


see;
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Reverting_to_an_older_installation

I use 
  
  ConTeXt - 2008.10.31 13:58

so in my case it's

  sh ./first-setup.sh --context=2008.10.31

you might want to look at the thread i started;
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/49826/focus=49831.


good luck.

On the other hand,

So maybe some ConTeXt script fails to interpret SELFAUTODIR.

I'm afraid the problem lies here:

mtxrun --usekpse --execute texexec $@

Most probably one can get over it by changing mtxrun to texmfstart.rb
again, though this will be overwritten next time when you'll try to
update.

Hello Aditya,

The answer is simple: because it was not set in what Hans originally
wrote and nobody complained so far.


BIBINPUTS = .;{$TXRESOURCES}//;{$CTXDEVTXPATH};$TEXMF/bibtex/bib//

in texmf.cnf. Comments?

I have no idea what the first two are, but the variable can definitely
be added. What about BSTINPUTS?

I also have no idea about the first two, but almost all variables use them.
BSTINPUTS is defined, and I just copied BSTINPUTS and changed bst to bib.


OK, added. (It might make sense to revise the contents of texmf.cnf
one day and maybe throw away a few things or add some, like TEXMFHOME
:)


so, what do i need to add here? what was the final verdict?

Why is BIBINPUTS not set in texmf/texmf.cnf in context minimals? I know 
that the minimals do not ship with any bib file, but even then, I think 
that we need

[NTG-context] context minimals on OpenSolaris 2008.11

[Michael Krauß]

Hello list members and ConTeXt gods,

this question is more technical than TeXnical but none the less ConTeXt 
releated. Today I am investigating if I can replace linux with OpenSolaris, so 
I am testing every, even exotic, software that I use on my linux box on 
OpenSolaris.

Looking into first-setup.sh there seem to be support for Solaris on Intel 
hardware called sunos-intel. But if I try to install ConTeXt it doesn't work:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/context$ ./first-setup.sh 
/usr/bin/rsync
/usr/bin/ruby
receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat /setup/sunos-intel/bin (in minimals) 
failed: No such file or directory (2)
done

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1385) 
[receiver=2.6.9]
./first-setup.sh: line 68: mtxrun: not found


Next I tried to build the binaries myself by checking out the sources from 
Subversion:

svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries


And running ./build-binaries.sh afterwards. But this doesn't work either:

Done. Installed texlive by the net installer and set PATH:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/context/build-binaries$ which ctangle
/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris/ctangle
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/context/build-binaries$ echo $PATH
/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris/:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

But I am still getting the same error message:

./ctangle ctangle 
make: ./ctangle: Command not found
make: *** [ctangle.c] Error 127

To me make rather tries to start a local version of ctangle (./ctangle) 
than to start the one in PATH.

The process would probably not run out of the box before a new svn

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/context/build-binaries$ find . -name ctangle
 ./src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
 ./src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
 ./src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/ctangle

Taco has been modifying the make scripts some time ago. I would ask
him. I did have some problems to build binaries on contextgarden, but
I thought that these problems have been solved. In general adding any
ctangle to build path should help (at the time when you build metapost
it doesn't see the ctangle binary of pdftex/xetex/luatex), but maybe
there was a tiny overlook somewhere. Taco has ctangle all over on his
machine, so he would not notice if that was a problem.

 How should I proceed from here? What is the status of Solaris support for 
 context minimals?

None exists, but we can add it if one (you?) promisses to run the
building script every now and then.

Re: [NTG-context] context minimals on OpenSolaris 2008.11

[Michael Krauß]

 Von: Mojca Miklavec [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  If you are willing to compile
 them (or rather keep compiling them every now to keep dependencies
 satisfied), we can finish adding support for open solaris.

Until now I am just evaluating OpenSolaris as a Linux replacement. 10 Years of 
fun with a constantly morphing kernel are enough. There are two issues left: 
One is Context and the other is OCaml. The mainstream software is running just 
fine.


 If I'm not mistaken then pdftex, xetex and luatex have been compiled
 without problems?

Not really:

make: ./ctangle: Command not found
make: *** [ctangle.c] Error 127
cp: cannot stat `build/texk/web2c/mpdir/mpost': No such file or directory
Reverted 'VERSIONS'
-e Sorry, there have been some failures:
  - build of xetex on sunos-intel
  - build of luatex on sunos-intel
  - build of metapost on sunos-intel
-n No svn commit! Please press enter to continue! 


 The process would probably not run out of the box before a new svn
 repository gets created and you would need an account in order to be
 able to commit anyway, but you can check if files like:
 - src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/pdftex

Yes, this program was compiled and I can run it (missing texmf.cnf aside).

 - src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/xetex
 - src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/luatex

Those two files don't exist. There are a bunch of source files in this web2c 
directories but not the searched executables.


 Taco has been modifying the make scripts some time ago. I would ask
 him. I did have some problems to build binaries on contextgarden, but
 I thought that these problems have been solved. In general adding any
 ctangle to build path should help (at the time when you build metapost
 it doesn't see the ctangle binary of pdftex/xetex/luatex), but maybe
 there was a tiny overlook somewhere. Taco has ctangle all over on his
 machine, so he would not notice if that was a problem.

I will try to figure out in what directory gmake is getting the command not 
found error and place a copy of ctangle there.


Kind regards,

[NTG-context] context minimals path and directory structure question

[Jan-Erik Hägglöf]

Hello!

I'm using  context-minimal version: 2008.10.01 19:13 and have a
generally question.

I'm writing several documents with similar structure and design and have
collected all common settings in settings.tex like following:

\startenvironment settings
...
...
...
\stopenvironment

and just do the usual invoking by

in 

anything.tex

\environment settings

\starttext
...
...
...
\stoptext

I've installed the minimals structure in /home/$USER/context/... on my
ubuntu 8.04 machine.

Now to the question:

Where in this structure do I place settings.tex so it can be found
by context from anywhere in my document-structure?

I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the
file. If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?

Is there a more efficient way doing similar tasks, like writing a
module? 

All best!

first-setup.sh  should not delete your files.

context --generate
context --make
are safe 
(well, one can always write a malicius tex file that overwrite
tex/texmf-local/tex/context/user/settings.tex ...)

[Aditya Mahajan]

On Mon, 20 Oct 2008, Jan-Erik Hägglöf wrote:

For files which are specific to one or two projects, I usually place them 
in the directory:


main-dir/
 |
 + settings.tex
 |
 + project-1/
 ||
 |+--- component-1-1.tex
 |
 + project-2/

and then in component-1-1.tex, put

\environment settings

There is no need to tell the relative path to context. When context cannot 
find a file in the current dir, it looks up two (or three?) levels to find 
the file.


As Mojca said, this has the added advantage of making the structure 
self-sufficient. You can just copy the main-dir on a different computer 
and everything works.


For files that are used in many different projects, I usually make it a 
module (if you are not using any advanced features, like localenvironments 
or setupmodules, modules and environments are the same)


I have created a directory texmf-local/tex/context/aditya where I put all 
my files (and sync them to a svn server so that I can use them on 
different computers).



I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the
file. If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?


You make need to run luatools --generate (or texhash if using mkii) if 
place the files in texmf-local. To prevent any accidents with upgrades, 
create a directory in texmf-local/tex/context that is unique. You can also 
create the directory in $TEXMFHOME/tex/context (which is usually 
$HOME/tex/context in *nix systems, I do not know about win/mac). Normally 
upgrades do not touch anything in $TEXMFHOME.

Like Luigi said, texmf-local/tex/context/whatever might be the best
place in the tree.

 I suppose I should do something like context --make after placing the
 file.

mktexlsr for kpathsea and luatools --generate for mkiv.
Though some folders are searched even without putting them to database.

 If I do the usual upgrade what happens then?

The script doesn't touch texmf-local.

 Is there a more efficient way doing similar tasks, like writing a
 module?

You can also have settings.tex on top of all the folders that use
it. Plain file and module do not make much difference in such cases.

(For safety reasons, I prefer to have a copy of such files locally (in
folder where I process files). I never know when I switch computer and
forget to copy some files from some global folders.)

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac

[Alan Bowen]

Charles---this is very helpful and much appreciated.

Alan

 I created a .profile containing the line
 source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex
 and put it in Macintosh HD/Users/alancbowen/Library

 OK, the source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex
 should be the path to YOUR context minimals (the /path/to/blablabla is
 commonly understood among UNIX users as meaning substitute the path  
 to
 my thingy here.
OK
 I know where your TeXshop files are (under your Library dir tree)  
 but I
 don't know where the ConTeXt minimals were installed on your  
 machine. I
 have not installed minimals because the TeXLive distribution with  
 MacTeX
 has served me satisfactorily to date.

As the wiki says, all the required files are in the /Applications/ 
ConTeXtMinimals folder.

 Please locate the folders context/tex/setuptex and context/tex in the
 place where the minimals install put them. Are they under your home  
 dir
 or are they under /usr/local?

I do not seem to have a setuptex folder on my box---at least I have  
not been able to find one under either /usr/local or /Users/ 
alancbowen/. And there certainly is none in /Applications/ 
ConTeXtMinimals (as seems to be expected).

 Figure out the FULL pathname from root,
 e.g., /usr/local/context/tex/setuptex or whatever it is. Put those  
 full
 pathnames into the source line.

 Now, your .profile file goes in your home dir, /Users/alancbowen. The
 Bourne-again shell, bash, must find that file in your home dir when  
 you
 login.
OK
 /Users/alancbowen is how the UNIX side of OS X sees you, not Macintosh
 HD/Users/alancbowen/Library. That's how Aqua things see you. They both
 work, but UNIX creates a virtual environment off of a root /, that in
 turn has Mac dirs like Applications, Users, and so on. /Users on the  
 Mac
 corresponds to /home on other Unix-like systems.

 And this brings up a good point.
 With UNIX pathnames, you have two alternatives for spaces in  
 pathnames,
 e.g., from your home dir:
 ~/The Directory/and/its leaves
 ~/The\ Directory/and/its\ leaves
Thanks for the clarification.

 Second, did you add

 You need to have the source work from when you log in, and that

 That's similar to GNOME under Linux/BSD.

 You can substitute:

 chmod a+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine

 for the above path, and you can opt to do

 chmod u+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine

 when only you should execute it or

 chmod g+x ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine

 if anyone in your group can execute it

 or you can be typical and say

 chmod 775 ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine

 and that will make everyone executable and you/your group read-
 writable.
 Since you are using UNIX (as Mac OS X proudly touts) you might  
 want to
 snag a reference on shell scripting and basic UNIX commands. Welcome
 to
 the world beyond Aqua.

 That should do it.

 I created a .profile containing the line

OK, the source ~/path/to/context/tex/setuptex ~/path/to/context/tex
should be the path to YOUR context minimals (the /path/to/blablabla is
commonly understood among UNIX users as meaning substitute the path to
my thingy here.

I know where your TeXshop files are (under your Library dir tree) but I
don't know where the ConTeXt minimals were installed on your machine. I
have not installed minimals because the TeXLive distribution with MacTeX
has served me satisfactorily to date.

Please locate the folders context/tex/setuptex and context/tex in the
place where the minimals install put them. Are they under your home dir
or are they under /usr/local?

Figure out the FULL pathname from root,
e.g., /usr/local/context/tex/setuptex or whatever it is. Put those full
pathnames into the source line.

Now, your .profile file goes in your home dir, /Users/alancbowen. The
Bourne-again shell, bash, must find that file in your home dir when you
login.

/Users/alancbowen is how the UNIX side of OS X sees you, not Macintosh
HD/Users/alancbowen/Library. That's how Aqua things see you. They both
work, but UNIX creates a virtual environment off of a root /, that in
turn has Mac dirs like Applications, Users, and so on. /Users on the Mac
corresponds to /home on other Unix-like systems.

And this brings up a good point.
With UNIX pathnames, you have two alternatives for spaces in pathnames,
e.g., from your home dir:
~/The Directory/and/its leaves
~/The\ Directory/and/its\ leaves

 But, sad to say, I get the same error when I try to typeset my “Hello  
 World!” file using the™ minimals:
 
 /Applications/ConTeXtMinimals/tex/setuptex: line 75: cd: /Applications/ 
 ConTeXtMinimals/context: No such file or directory
 The argument  is not a valid TEXROOT path.
 There is no file /texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex

  Second, did you add

  You need to have the source work from when you log in, and that

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Minimals on Mac

[Alan Bowen]

I have installed the Context Minimals following the newbie  
instructions on the wiki at contextgarden for Mac users.


The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated:
• the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not  first-setup.tsh
• to execute this file run ./first-setup.sh not first-setup.sh (at  
least, the former worked and did not return a “command not found”  
message).


I also configured TeXShop as instructed. But now when I try to typeset  
a file, I get the error message:
	Users/alancbowen/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ConTeXtMinimals.engine does  
not have the executable bit set.


How can I fix this?
