Hi Richard,
1. Install Ruby
right
2. Install Perl
I think, Perl is not needed anymore.
Download
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/install/minimals-snapshot-mswin.zip
I unzip it in c:\, you get c:\context\texmf-context and some more
directories
3. Download cont-tmf.zip and unzip contents to <installdir>
make c:\context\texmf-context empty and unzip cont-tmf.zip into it
4. Set environment variables: OSFONTDIR = C:\WINDOWS\Fonts TEXMF = <installdir>\scripts\context\stubs\mswin TEXMFCACHE = C:\TEMP TEXMFCNF = <installdir>\web2c TEXMFOS = ?????? others ????
no, go to c:\context an run setuptex.bat
I have an icon on my desktop with: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K cd c:\context && .\setuptex.bat
5. From command window, run installation scripts: mktexlsr luatools --generate luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate texexec --make (for mkii) context --make (for mkiv)
open a terminal window c: enter cd context enter setuptex enter
the above commands should now work without errors
6. To generate new pdf run: context --pdf myfile.tex
You have to run setuptex.bat in c:\context before you can compile
texfiles
I automated this for the terminal and for the Scite Editor.
7. Anything else I've missed ????
That should do it
For updating luatex, download ftp://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac. jp/pub/TeX/win32/luatex-dev-w32.tar.bz2 and unzip the files in bin into c:\context\texmf-mswin\bin. After that run context --make
You're welcome
Greetings Lutz
Thank-you very much for the above. Still a few problems though! I have installed it to C:\tools\context. Everything goes well until 'mktexlsr' which returns: Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-project/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-fonts/ls-R to write. Cannot open C:/tools/context/texmf-extra/ls-R to write. because the folders do not exist. So I've created empty folders just in case and no more warnings! Then all goes well until 'context --pdf myfile.tex' which returns: luatex.exe: c:/tools/context/texmf-cache/tuatex-cache/b7bcb6722e1fe509b85ff004c33e8274/formats/cont-en.fmt: No such file or directory MtxRun | fatal error, code 1 and 'texexec --pdf myfile.tex' returns: c:\tools\context\texmf-mswin\bin\mtxrun.lua:8603: attempt to concatenate a nil value Any ideas?
