Hi Bryant, Thanks a lot! I got it working with your suggestion. The exact sequence was: 1. install ConTeXt in DOS cmd 2. run setuptex.bat in DOS cmd 3. enter cygwin by running cygwin.bat 4. in cygwin prompt, run context.cmd test.tex Our docbook->pdf/html flow was developed in unix. But I need to port it to Windows now for my colleagues. regards, shenchen On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 11:00 PM, Bryant Eastham < beastham@pewla.us.pewg.panasonic.com> wrote:
I am doing exactly the same thing as you want. I believe your problem is in keeping your worlds (Windows/Cygwin) straight. It appears that you have installed minimals “inside” cygwin (depending on whether your /usr directory is your cygwin /usr directory).
I installed minimals “normally”, as it is a Windows application. I ran the context setups from Windows. Then I can build with no problems from within cygwin by running the minimals cmd files (although you must specify the extension from within cygwin). I did not have to modify any files at all.
So far, no problems. Just remember to keep your path information in “Windows” format, not cygwin.

Hi all,
I wonder if it possible to run the MSWin version of context-minimal under Cygwin.
I want to use Makefile and other unix tools to automate my build process.
I tried modifying the context/tex/setuptex script, and manually set the platform variable to mswin,
but when I ran context.cmd, I saw the following error message. The texmf-cache path actually exists.
Any hint? Thanks a lot!
======begin cut===========
[Administrator@cygwin test]$ context.cmd test1
Should I create the cache path /cygdrive/c/usr/docs/context/tex/texmf-cache? [ye
s|no] [no]
Should I create the cache path /cygdrive/c/usr/docs/context/tex/texmf-cache? [ye

MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
======end cut===========
regards,
shenchen
