what does
texmfstart newtexexec --make --all
do?
Interesting... It builds the formats (not engine aware in terms of where it puts the .fmt files--at least it uses different switches compared to what I'm used to), but (old)texexec did that too.
What's interesting is that it doesn't insist on rebuilding the format on a normal (--pdf) run. (And it's fast: does it buffer the terminal output?)
Hello, I have the same problem on Linux, but I don't have texmfstart... Are there other solutions or is texmfstart now needed to run texexec? Cheers, Peter
you do have texmfstart, just copy texmfstart.rb to texmfstart in one of your bin paths (texmfstart is one of the core components of the context scripts, being the only way i can guarantee upward compatibility when drastic changes take place in the tds/distributions) (there is a manual on the website) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
