Re: [NTG-context] Newbie needs help getting started
If you use other TeX distribution (TeXlive, MikTeX), you will have conflicts because your system doesn't know how to differentiate between your current TeX distro binaries, and Context's binaries, so, the system will use different (non-compatible) versions of a lot of things, and will use the first executables found in the PATH. I have both texlive and context, but configuring them to work well together, took me a while. I use a couple of custom .bat files to invoke context's path ONLY when I compile Context files, but use the defaults for textworks when I complile LaTeX files. What I did was: 1. Your same steps 1-3. 2. Created a folder called C:/context/pragmatex/ 3. Inside that folder I placed two files: PRAGMATEX.BAT and SETPATH.BAT (contents below) 4. Add C:\context\pragmatex\ to the PATH variable (so the two mentioned files can be found by the system) 5. Configure TeXworks: 5.1. Open TW and go to Edit Preferences 5.2 Select Compilation tab 5.3 In that Window, in the field Location of TeX and related programs (or something like that, the name can be slightly different. I use the Spanish version), add (using the button marked +) the folder C:\context\pragmatex\ 5.4 In the same window, below, select ConTeXt (LuaTeX), and click edit. 5.5 In Program add C:/context/pragmatex/pragmatex.bat (without quotes). 5.6 In Parameters just add $fullname (without quotes) if it's not already there. The contents of the two mentioned files (just plain old .bat files, can be created on notepad): ** pragmatex.bat ** @echo off call C:\context\pragmatex\setpath.bat context --synctex=zipped --autogenerate %1 --purgeall ** ** setpath.bat ** @echo off C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\context\tex ** Hope this helps. Is a very crappy setup, but it works for me. You can adapt it however you like. ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Newbie needs help getting started
Hi, I'm trying to get ConTeXt to run on my Windows machine (Windows 7 SP1). I already had MiKTeX installed on the machine. Here is what I did: 1. I downloaded context-setup-mswin.zip. 2. I unzipped and copied the folder to C:/context 3. I ran the command first-setup.bat --context=current --modules=all 4. I added C:\context\tex\texmf-win64\bin to my PATH variable 5. I opened up the example file at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hello_world in TeXWorks 6. I selected ConTeXt(LuaTeX) 7. I compiled the file The compilation failed. The log says: mtx-context | warning: synctex is enabled mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt=C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en --jobname=HelloWorld --lua=C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui --no-parse-first-line --synctex=1 --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname=./HelloWorld.tex --c:input=./HelloWorld.tex --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=8 --c:synctex cont-yes.mkiv This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.76.0-2013062820 (rev 4627) \write18 enabled.

(Due to the criticism of releasing the current all too often, Hans started releasing betas.

I would bet that --context=current is broken, but I didn't try it. You should get beta by default.) But the weird thing is that Fatal format file error; I'm stymied error was common with pdfTeX.

With ConTeXt MkIV the formats are usually regenerated automatically. It's not that weird: pdftex etc have no check on the format so if for instance a new primitive an old format will crash the new tex. For that reason we added a compatibility version number to luatex (starting at asciisum(DEK) to test to luatex format loading that will quit when that number jumped .. we're now one version further down the line. So ... a quit instead of a crash. So, if pdftex would add a primitive it doesn't give that message but either crashes or runs on with the wrong mem undump.
