In order to run luatex in my TeXShop (MacOSX10.5.5) I did put the following code into ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/LuaTeX.engine #!/bin/bash export TEXLIVE=/usr/local/texlive export TEXHOME=$TEXLIVE/2008 export TEXBIN=$TEXHOME/bin/universal-darwin export TEXCONTEXT=$TEXLIVE/texmf-local export OSFONTDIR="~/Library/Fonts;/Library/Fonts;/System/Library/Fonts" export TEXPRIVATE=/Users/hans/Library/texmf export TEXMFCACHE=/Users/hans/Library/Caches export TEXMF="{$TEXPRIVATE,$TEXLIVE/texmf-local,$TEXHOME/texmf, $TEXHOME/texmf-config,$TEXHOME/texmf-dist,$TEXHOME/texmf-var}" $TEXBIN/mtxrun --script context "$1" Also having set in $TEXBIN a softlink (ln -s) to mtxrun.lua in the context distribution, here put into texmf-local. Maybe there are one or two variables superfluous here, but it least it works. And to have luatex in TeXworks I call as a program the above engine script (courtesy Taco Hoekwater) Hans van der Meer On 22 okt 2008, at 13:13, Otared Kavian wrote:

Hi Willi,

Yes I did install mkiv through the ConTeXt Minimals (thanks to Luigi Scarso) and I invoke that installation in TeXShop: everything works fine. However I have not added any environment variables as you have done in your .bashrc. saying env | grep TEX in a Terminal window returns for me: __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F5:0:0 which has nothing to do with any TeX related variable. I think in order to use mkiv with the minimals you have to "unset" all the environment variables you have in your .bashrc.

Right now I have to run to take an exam with my students… as soon as I have time I'll send you the whole procedure.

Best regards: OK

Hi all,

is there anybody who has TeXshop running with the COnTeXt minimals?

I tried to make a new engine which looks up to now as stated her under. however I get an error message:

MtxRun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

My interpretation is, that underway the path to the lua scripts is 'forgotten'

Kind regards

Hi Wolfgang I would like to give the TEXworks application also a try. I downloaded the libraries and the executable r167 as provided from the TUG-site. The libraries were put into /Library/Frameworks (local) The other libraries into /opt/local/lib (there is no such folder as / usr/local/lib The application does not start. i.e. the lion blinks up when clicked, in the applicationsbar a triangel show up for a moment and then vanishes... So I am stummied. Is it the version which is faulty? kind regards Willi On Oct 22, 2008, at 1:28 PM, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Why don't you use TeXworks, it already comes with the right settings for pdfTeX, XeTeX and LuaTeX.

Hi Guys, Otared Kavian wrote:

Hi Wolfgang and Willi,

As soon as I saw Wolfgang's message about TeXworks, I tried to install and use it, but without success (I even didn't figure out what Willi says about the libraries and so on). Maybe, in the sense of Mac OS X, it is not yet an application?

I am stymmied too…

This discussion a bit offtopic for the context list. TeXworks has its own mailing list where questions such as this should be asked, and I am 100% sure that Jonathan will be both happy to hear that people are actually trying to use the program and will be glad to help out anyone that runs into problems. Just go to http://tug.org/texworks/, and follow the "mailing list" link. Best wishes, Taco

Dear Otared, many thanks for your explanation. - It works now as a charm! I see, that I was at the beginning almost there. The problem was apparently, that I did not set the executable bit. Thanks again Willi On Oct 22, 2008, at 3:25 PM, Otared Kavian wrote:

Hi again Willi,

If you have installed ConTeXt-Miimal for MacOS X, the in principle you don't need at all to set environment variables as the ones you mention. On the contrary according to my experience, you SHOULD NOT set any such variables… Therefore in a Terminal window you should say: env | grep TEX and then say (for instance for TEXMFCNF) unset TEXMFCNF and so on for the other variables if they seem to be unwanted. Also oe should remove the "export…" variables from the .bashrc or any other shell files.

This is how I installed ConTeXt-Minimal and how I use it under TeXShop. (I have a MacBook Pro running under macOS X 10.5.5).

Installing and using the Minimal under Mac OS X in Ten Steps…

1) I created a folder named "context-minimal": this can sit anywhere, but in my case I put it in a partition of my hard drive names "OK-10.4". So the full path to that folder is /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal

2) In a Terminal window I said cd /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal

3) Then in the same Terminal window I said rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . Please pay attention to the final "." after "first-setup.sh"… I got the file "first-setup.sh" in the folder.

4) Then I said in the Terminal window sh first-setup.sh This would take some time (depending on the speed of the Internet connection) and then I obtained two folders (or directories) named bin/ tex/ and one morefile named "status-of-update.lua".

5) The folder "tex" contains four folders named texmf/ texmf-context/ texmf-cache/ texmf-osx-intel/ and four files named setuptex setuptex.csh setuptex.bat setuptex.tmf The folder "texmf-osx-intel" contains among other things a folder named "bin" in which the binaries are located. The file "setuptex" is the file which upon execution under a shell command sets the TEXROOT variable needed for the binary "context"

6) If I want to typeset the file "basic-test.tex" with my new installation, I have to set up once per session the TEXROOT variable by saying in my Terminall window: source /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal/tex/setuptex or alternatively . /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal/tex/setuptex Please pay attention to the dot "." and the space after the dot at the beginning of the above line… After that in the Terminal window (assuming that I am in the folder where the file "basic-test.tex" is present) I just say context basic-test.tex and the file is typeset with mkiv.

7) If I want to put some macros, or files used frequently as \input, I may put them in the folder: /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user

8) Also I may put more fonts in the folder /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal/tex/texmf/fonts in appropriate places (I did this for the fonts rsfs which were not present in the minimals). However after this I had to run again "first- setup.sh" as above.

9) Once the minimal was installed on my machine, in order to use it with TeXShop, I created a file named "ConTeXt-Minimal.engine" containing only the four lines: #!/bin/bash

source /Volumes/OK-10.4/context-minimal/tex/setuptex context "$1"

This file is put in the directory /Users/kavian/Library/TeXShop/Engines and must have the execute bit, that is one must say in a Terminal window: cd /Users/kavian/Library/TeXShop/Engines chmod 755 ConTeXt-Minimal.engine

10) Now in TeXShop I can add the following line at the beginning of any file I want to typeset with the Minimal: %!TEX TS-program = ConTeXt-Minimal or else I may choose "ConTeXt-Minimal" from the pop-up menu which appears below the window bar of my TeX file.

I hope that the above would be useful for you and other persons. Since on the Wiki there are already many things on the issue, I didn't dare to add a new page… Mojca, if you read this, can you please tell me whether I can add a new item on the pages you have set up?

Best regards: OK
