I'm really sorry I have to resurrect this old thread, but there is something terribly, fundamentally wrong with format generation in newtexexec. I just dlded the latest version and ran texmfstart newtexexec --make --all from within the directory where the format files should be written. After completion, I double-checked, and I did not get a new version or format file. I then searched my disk to see where format files had been written. Here's the result: % locate cont-en.fmt /Users/tas/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/ texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/ local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/ local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/ share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/web2c/ pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/ usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/ share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/ web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt This looks bizarre, and it is. What happened: instead of using the path descriptors as handed to it by kpsewhich, newtexexec CREATES the paths verbatim, so I now have a directory .:/Users/tas/texmf/ web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf- dist/web2c/pdfetex/ inside my Home directory and in other places of the disk. I hope the description is clear... Best Thomas

Yes, I really wish I knew what causes this error.

TeXExec | texformat: 27/04/06 15:14:41 > /usr/share/texmf-config/ web2c/pdfetex/cont-nl.fmt Which as as it should be [however, newtexexec --check does not perform alll tests as it should]. On Mac OS X, I get at the end: TeXExec | tex engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share// share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c// pdfetex TeXExec | mps engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share// share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c I guess that means that it creates, in the working directory, a directory named : and then the other diretories beneath it. What can cause this error? I;m running the same pdfetex version on both (3.141592-1.40.0-beta-20060213-2.2). Could be some config file, could be the different TDS setup on both systems, could be that OS X is case insensitive? Could other people check on their computers as well, that would be helpful. Thomas

Hi, Of course I am unable to give an answer. Yet I would like to mention, that also in the windows environment it does not work as expected. I found the format files in a separate directory not in the web2c path. Everything worked after moving the folder into the correct place. Willi Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

hm, maybe some split problem
what does kpsewhich -show-path=fmt report?
i'll send you a patched kpsefast.rb module for testing

I'm really sorry I have to resurrect this old thread, but there is something terribly, fundamentally wrong with format generation in newtexexec. I just dlded the latest version and ran texmfstart newtexexec --make --all from within the directory where the format files should be written. After completion, I double-checked, and I did not get a new version or format file. I then searched my disk to see where format files had been written. Here's the result:
% locate cont-en.fmt /Users/tas/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/ texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/ local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/ local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/ share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/web2c/ pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/.:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c/:!!/ usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/ share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-dist/ web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt
This looks bizarre, and it is. What happened: instead of using the path descriptors as handed to it by kpsewhich, newtexexec CREATES the paths verbatim, so I now have a directory .:/Users/tas/texmf/ web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf-local/web2c/:!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share/share/texmf/web2c/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/share/texmf- dist/web2c/pdfetex/ inside my Home directory and in other places of the disk. I hope the description is clear...
Best

Hi, Yet-another-report ;) : I've installed mswincontext for the first time following the standalone procedure three days ago. When I have generated formats with --make --all, the format were put into "pdfetex/*". It works after moving pdfetex into the right path manually (tex/texmf-mswin/web2c). At the moment, I thought I have missed something, but I got it working... Now, after reading the Willi's post, I feel that there is maybe a problem with latest mswincontext...
