Here is what I did to try to get it all loaded and setup:

Re: When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing: . /opt/context/tex/setuptex

I mean there is no /opt/context/tex so no /opt/context/tex/setuptex..

Any suggestions are apprecaited. Regards

./firstsetup.sh was ran and it was first setup that created and populated the bin directory. But nothing was done for a tex directory. Regards

../firstsetup.sh was ran and it was first setup that created and populated the bin directory. But nothing was done for a tex directory.

then you need to figure out why it failed ... messages and so ... maybe an rsync issue (you can try to add prints to mtx-update.lua (but then also comment the first rsync in firstsetup so that it doesn't get overwritten)

Yes I am trying to find out. That's why I sent the message in the first place. I will endeaver to find out more inforation. Is there a way to download a three without using rsync? Perhaps a tarball or other archive format? Regards

We used to have cygwin-specific binaries, but dropped them after the volunteer who built them has lost the interest. Actually I would surprised if the distribution worked with cygwin out-of-the-box now that those binaries have been removed (probably a few years ago already) because we never tried to adapt any code, but I guess that Akira's native windows binaries should work just as well under cygwin's shell, so fixing this should be doable. There are two steps involved in syncronisation. The script first-setup.sh first determines the platform. In the good old days we used: # cygwin CYGWIN*) case "$cpu" in i*86) platform="cygwin" ;; x86_64|ia64) platform="cygwin-64" ;; *) platform="unknown" ;; esac ;; and recently switched to: CYGWIN*) case "$cpu" in i*86) platform="mswin" ;; # cygwin, if we ever get "native cygwin binaries" x86_64|ia64) platform="mswin" ;; # cygwin-64, likewise *) platform="unknown" ;; esac ;; The script then fetches files from rsync -rlptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/$platform/bin . which apparently succeeds, but then the following step fails: mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --force --update --context=beta --platform=$platform --texroot="$CONTEXTROOT" $@ If this step actually ever worked, it might be that Hans' recent fixes to determine whether Windows is 64-bit or not, might have broken the functionality. In any case I'm almost sure that mtxrun fails to deliver proper binaries. Is there really no other output to be seen? Mojca

Mojca, thank you very much for the detailed and informative information. Regarding the "native" for cygwin Context, I am currently using TeXLive for Unix-ish Platforms. So the Context In TeXLive for Unix platforms works or has been made to work on Cygwin at some step in the process by someone. How is the TexLive version of ConTeXt prepared? Using the same technique for the standalone to render it runnable on Cygwin like the TexLive version of Context, I should think. What do you think? Regards Mojca Miklavec wrote:

The script then fetches files from rsync -rlptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/$platform/bin . which apparently succeeds, but then the following step fails:

mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --force --update --context=beta --platform=$platform --texroot="$CONTEXTROOT" $@

The same as for all other platforms. Someone (http://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html) had to compile the binaries on cygwin. You can see the binaries here: http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/i386-cygwin/ The binaries are compiled once per year (actually a couple of times withing a short period of time since there are always bugs or problems revealed in the process).

...

Someone would have to compile the binaries then. In addition to what's already in TeX Live that means that whenever a new LuaTeX or MetaPost gets released, the volunteer needs to run the compilation. Is there any performance penalty when using native Windows binaries rather than those for cygwin? Or doesn't it work at all? (Please not a difference between "broken" binaries and broken installation process. I'm asking for the case when installation would succeed.)

...

Not any longer / not yet. But I could try to set it up again. But given that your rsync works fine and it's just the update script that's failing, I could also send you a bash scipt to run a bunch of rsync commands instead of going through texlua. Can you please try to download http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-setup-mswin.zip, unzip it, run first-setup.bat from cmd, move the files to where your cygwin installation is and check whether it works at all from within the cygwin shell? That is: if normal windows binaries work inside cygwin. Depending on that we can act further. The easiest way would be to fix the installation. The other less trivial way means that either you or someone else with sufficient motivation needs to be ready to keep compiling each new release of luatex when it gets released. And I would need to adapt the scripts (cygwin is more tricky because it's neither windows nor unix and always needs an exception ;). If you want to try building the binaries, do the following: svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries cd build-binaries ./bin_update_src.sh ./bin_update_svn.sh ./bin_build.sh (I would expect problems in the last step of ./bin_build.sh, when copying the files due to the additional *.exe extension, but you may ignore those. The main question is whether the binaries compile at all.) Mojca
