Re: [NTG-context] Setting up TeXworks

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 is as follow : mtxrun --script fonts --reload In order to see which fonts are installed on your system: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all To search a font (like didot) : mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=*didot* --all All these commands are the same on windows/linux/OS X More information in French here : https://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/ConTeXt Hope that ich sende nicht Eulen nach Athens !

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: name: ConTeXt MkIV command: mtxrun arguments: --tree=/usr/local/context/tex <-- this is the one! --autogenerate --script context $fullname In the "Paths to TeX and friends" list I have /usr/local/context/texmf-linux-64 /usr/local/context/bin as the top two entries. I don't know what exactly is going on here, so I don't feel confident to add this to the wiki, but maybe someone else does and will.

I tried that, no success (not very different from what I did before either). Are there other tests that I could do? Can't anybody interpret the messages, error and otherwise?

At the end of this website page http://lesfichesabebert.fr/index.php/Context/Instalation, there are some explanations about the TeXWorks typesetting setting. There are some screen prints which may help.

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"

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

- 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

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_shoul... -- 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.

Cheers -- Thomas
