Hi! After a long time without having time to play with ConTeXt, I reinstalled a new Minimals using the manual method with rsync, added TeXworks in the proper folder. Under Texworks, I also pointed to the bin folder of Context. But when compiling a document, I get: MTXrun | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' MTXrun | fileio: remembering file 'context.lua' MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Any solution? Also, is it possible to run ConTeXt from MikTeX 2.8? Regards, Alain Delmotte

How exactly did you install it and how exactly did you run it? You can also use --goodies=texworks while intsalling the minimals.
Also, is it possible to run ConTeXt from MikTeX 2.8?
Not that I would know of. I mean: it's possible to use it (with all the font files that come with MikTeX), but you need to install it and update it manually. Mojca

installation: I downloaded: context-setup-mswin.zip unzipped it in C:\Programmes; this created c:\Programmes\Context\... then in Context I used: first-setup.bat (as I am not going to use MkII, I didn't install Ruby); the installation went OK Then I added in C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-context\context\data\texworks a full TeXworks distribution (the one I use for other AllTeX works) without adding the file texworks-setup.ini which was installed with ConTeXt. use: before starting ConTeXt, I use: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\setuptex.bat in TeXworks, in Preferences / Typesetting I added the folder: C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\bin I use ConTeXt MkIV, but I get the above error messages.

The correct directory should be C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-mswin\bin Best Regards, Andreas.

Thanks, that was the answer to solve the problem. Alain

in texmf-context/context/data/texworks you will find a complete setup for texworks you can start texworks (on windows) with mtxrun --script texworks --start and it will be in context only mode then it defaults to running luatex (mkiv) but will listen to the % engine=pdftex directive (such directives are handled by the texexec and context scripts so one can sort of tag the document as mkii/mkiv although this feature dates from the mkzero times)
Also, is it possible to run ConTeXt from MikTeX 2.8?

It used to work until Hans started using texmfstart.exe. As opposed to standalone version of ConTeXt some paths had not been resolved properly on MikTeX (a bug in ConTeXt), but nobody had ever debug the behaviour, so CS removed ConTeXt from MikTeX packages. Mojca

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. The main issue is that miktex has a completely different way of configurating the tree. Also, last time i looked into it there were also some hard codes assumptions with regards to multiple trees. Anyhow ... the minimals are probaby a better way to go.

btw, texmfstart.exe is just the ruby script with ruby packages in a zip and at some point that wrapper system changed (out of our control) but the latest texmfstart is just mtxrun (using lua) ... the only snippet of ruby in use is texexec/texutil and even that can go away (i simply have no time to finish the texutil bit although i have a prototype).

Which is even worse since MikTeX has been promising to release LuaTeX for a long time (already for 2.8) and thene's still just a question mark to whether it will be released in 2.9. At the moment there would be two options: - fix the old texmfstart (probably won't happen) - wait for luatex in MikTeX Mojca

no, because (1) ruby is not downward compatible and i'm not going to waste too much time on that (2) i haven't looked into the exe builder (exerb) for a while and hav eno time for that either
- wait for luatex in MikTeX
yes, or use some ancient texmfstart Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
