Hi list, does anybody know how I could start metapost itself standalone from the context-minimals? mpost is telling me there is no mpost.mem and no plain.mem file so it can not start... Thanks for any hint...

You can try texexec --make mpost Mojca

You can try texexec --make mpost
There's also a switch --formats=... in mtx-update.lua (that is, one can call first-setup.sh with --formats=... switch), but I have probably not tested that yet. Mojca
