Hi, Are the SciTE configuration files on Windows only supposed to work with MikTeX or do they work with other implementations as well? Do I have to copy all language .properties files even though I am going to use only English? Do I have to modify any .properties files, if I want to load only cont-en-scite.properties?

they should work with any tex, given that texmfstart and/or texexec are known 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

texexec is known, I know this because I can run it from command line. texmfstart is located in E:\TeXLive2005\texmf-dist\scripts\context\ruby but I am not sure if it is known to the system or not. How can I test this? Should I tweak any file or add to to PATH variable?

Yes, Ruby is installed. Typing ruby --version at command line returuns ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-mswin32] Also Perl is installed. Actually Perl is installed as part of TeXLive2005. I also installed Lua 5.0 and added the directory to the PATH. Regards, -h

lua is not needed since it's included in scite; you need to move the lus scripts that we ship to the wscite path (as well as the properties files) and make sure that the main context props are loaded (in you user props file) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Where can I get these Lua scripts? Are there somewhere in my TeX system or I have to download them from somewhere?

Hi Hans, Thanks for all the help. I have progressed a lot with the tips you gave me. Now, I have two problems: 1) I can run "texmfstart newtexexec.rb --autopdf --pdf myfile.tex" from Windows command line, but when I click on Build in SciTE's Tools menu, it says: "THe system cannot find the file specified." I don't which file it is mentioning. 2) I have copied the scite-ctx.properties file to SciTE's path, but I still dont' get the wrapping and other ctx functionality. I guess helping a new user is really a pain in the neck, but please bear with me. Thanks for your time. Regards, Hooman Javidnia, Ph.D. Candidate Dept. of Electrical & Computer Eng.

It can't find texmfstart. You need to have the TeXLive binary directory in your global path (perhaps through autoexec.bat, but windows is too long ago for me to be certain about that).
2) I have copied the scite-ctx.properties file to SciTE's path, but I still dont' get the wrapping and other ctx functionality.
You have to add a new line containing import context to the bottom of the Global or User Options file in SciTE And you have to copy <texmf>/scripts/context/lua/scite-ctx.lua to the SciTE path as well. Cheers, Taco

Hi Taco, Thanks for the hint. TeXLive binary directory and all the ConTeXt script directory are in windows path and I can run and compile a sample ConTeXt file from windows command line. Should I copy all those perl and ruby scripts from their original location to TeXLive's bin folder, although they are in the Path? The problem is that SciTE can't find these commands. Apparently, installing and configuring SciTE to work in Windows is not as easy as Linux or other Unix-based OSs.
2) I have copied the scite-ctx.properties file to SciTE's path, but I still dont' get the wrapping and other ctx functionality.
You have to add a new line containing
import context
to the bottom of the Global or User Options file in SciTE
And you have to copy <texmf>/scripts/context/lua/scite-ctx.lua to the SciTE path as well.
I have done that already according to what Hans said. I have all cont-*.properties files in SciTE's path and alson context.properties and scite-ctx.lua in the same path. I have added the line "import context" to the end of Global options files. Still doesn't work. And even when I compile my test file from Windows command line, some of the fonts are missing in the PDF file. I really appreciate your patience and time. Regards, Hooman
