Second Try for help using Windows 7 Winedt 6.0 MiKTeX 2.9 to process ConTeXt
Perhaps Taco could find time to explore this?? Recently MikTeX enabled ConTeXt using Luatex .60. I love ConteXt and was using it UNTIL MiKTeX stopped support in version 2.8. I try to process a ConteXt file now using: Windows 7, Winedt 6.0 and MikTeX 2.9... I changed to MKIV within MikTeK and luatex tryies to process a TIK test file instead of my master.tex file. Could anyone please advise me on how to get this working? I reallly NEED to use ConTeXt again to continue to publish my research correctly Thanks Barney Schwartz

you need to configure winedt to run mtxrun --script context .... on your file ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Ah. It's here Barney got this advice. Well: no to get context mkiv running with winedt you only need to set in the execution modes "context.exe" as the executable for context. The problem of Barney is that for some reason the doc-folders are in the context search pathes, e.g. I:\Z-Test>context mathtest.tex ... This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.2-2010100221 (MiKTeX 2.9) (rev 3736) \write18 enabled. (J:/MiKTeX2.9/doc/fontinst/examples/mathptm/mathtest.tex and so format generation fails because a context.tex in the documentation of circuittikz is found. I have made a bug report at the miktex site, but perhaps you know what is going on? The search path of luatex itself is fine. -- Ulrike Fischer

context.exe is just a stub that effectively calls mtxrun.exe --script context so that's why I suggested it as it might be that there is no context.exe in the path.
and so format generation fails because a context.tex in the documentation of circuittikz is found.
ah, interesting; it makes me wonder why the doc search path is consulted in the firstplace (maybe mojca can simulate it on her machine as she did the miktex testing)

Christian thinks that "this is a MiKTeX specific bug. For some reason the ConTeXt search path (defined in miktex\config\context.ini) is not honoured." -- Ulrike Fischer

I have uninstalled and will try to reinstall MikTeX from scratch once I get to a better internet connection. But I didn't stumble upon that problem since I didn't install that package. The author of circuittikz will rename his file and hopefully the bug in MikTeX will be fixed. I would be glad to test, but I can hardly respond if I don't know what is going on or what exactly fails. Ulrike had a very informative observation - the original report wasn't enough (just saying that it doesn't work). Greetings from Wrocław, Mojca

I made some more test: context finds really everything in the texmf-trees. I looked a bit at the trace of context and compared it with latex. The only really obvious difference I see is that mtxrun.lua loads a texmf.cnf and a texmcnf.lua. The contents of the cnf is simple: It defines some variables for the roots. E.g. TEXMFLOCAL=J:/MiKTeX2.9 TEXMF={C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/..., .... and some parameters for hash size etc. texmfcnf.lua contains only return { TEXMFCACHE=C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/Ulle/Lokale Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/MiKTeX/2.9 } I was wondering a bit if this texmf.cnf resets the pathes but couldn't confirm it. Even replacing it with another texmf.cnf didn't correct the search pathes. (And it is regenerated on-the-fly if I delete it). -- Ulrike Fischer

I hope there are quotes around that in the actual file. (the value is a lua string) Best wishes, Taco

No there aren't quotes. The path is on one line, but apart from this it is a verbatim copy. -- Ulrike Fischer

But there really have to be quotes. The way it is now, it will generate a syntax error (and thus be ignored, I assume).
I used TeXworks, which was included in the MikTeX distribution with
the configuration shown in the screenshot. Rather minimalistic,
but worked and may be a start.

mtxrun --script texworks --start will start up a context only version using a dedicated set of initialization files Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
