Dear ConTeXt hackers,
when issuing the command 'texexec --make --alone en' the cont-en format gets generated. Everything is nice except that texexec returns status code "1", which on unix systems means failure. Is there any way to get a "0"?
For me it returns 0, as expected. However, browsing through texexec I see this: sub RunOneFormat { my ($FormatName) = @_ ; my @TeXFormatPath ; my $TeXPrefix = "" ; if (($fmtutil ne "")&&($FormatName !~ /metafun|mptopdf/io)) { ... } # use fmtutil else { $Problems = 1 } if ($Problems) { ... } # call initex directly # in the main routine ... if ($Problems) { exit 1 } Making a format runs RunOneFormat, and it may be that setting $Problems and hence returning a positive value is a side effect of not using fmtutil. In RunOneFormat, change the line system ( $cmd ) ; in the if ($Problems) branch to $Problems = system ( "$cmd" ) ; and see if it changes things.
