Sadness from a Windows ConTeXt user
I have asked Hans about this problem two days ago, but now the problem still. I make sure that my context standalone is the lastest. I download the "context-setup-mswin.zip" from the ConTeXt wiki and extract it to the D:\, double-clicking the firstsetup.bat. When it finish the rest, I add "D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin" to User Path. Can this get the lastest ConTeXt standalone? I think it can. But when I input "context" in the "cmd", it always tell me this error messages: d:\>context contextmtxrun | forcing cache reload resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'C:/Users/peng/texmf/web2c' from specification 'home:texmf/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/' from specification 'selfautoloc:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoloc:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/' from specification 'selfautodir:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautodir:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/../texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/../texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on weird path 'D:/context/tex/' from specification 'selfautoparent:' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/share/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/share/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/share/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-local/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-local/web2c' resolvers | resolving | looking for 'texmfcnf.lua' on given path 'D:/context/tex/texmf-dist/web2c' from specification 'selfautoparent:/texmf-dist/web2c' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | no texmf paths are defined (using TEXMF) resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'mtx-t-contexts.lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-t-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembering file 'context.lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' d:\> I am only a newbie in ConTeXt so I don't know how to solve this problem. Is it mean that I have to wait for the updated binaries for windows?
hm, have you seen the file setuptex.bat in the tex folder ? You have to call it before to start using context.
I have run the setuptex.bat just before running context, but the problem still :-(

clueless ... are you sure that you use the right luatex binary in the downloaded garden distribution?

Just to make sure, are you following the following procedure: 1. Open cmd prompt. 2. run "C:\path-to-context\setuptex.bat" 3. run "context filename.tex" Aditya
I really have done the 1, 2 and 3 as you said, but it failed to start context, unless have set the TEXMFCNF to D:\context\texmf\web2c. weird.> Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:58:00 -0400

This problem can be sovled if I copy the web2c folder under the "texmf" to texmf-local. It seems that ConTeXt can't find the configuration file but this problem won't happen in the TeXLive 2012.

Hi, This was a known problem for a short period of time, but I thought that both Akira and Hans fixed it by now. (Hans added a workaround.) Mojca

eh ... you asked me to remove that workaround as the binary would be fixed ... it's either using the build in spec (somewhat messy) or using our own path spec (more controlled) the built in path cannot be used to determine if we have a garden version and we also cannot inject something in it as one doesn't know where to insert the texmf path (if not present) because the order of path sis not standardized (ok, i could probably mess a bit and try inject the texmf path at the end, which the might result in double loading of trees but i'd rather first see if the bin is fixed) the luatex i synced with the garden a few minutes ago gives: table={ "C:/Users/hagen/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//share/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//share/texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//share/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//share/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//share/texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//share/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//share/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//share/texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//share/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//texmf/web2c", } so it looks like texmf is back in the list Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks very much. I have updated my context and the problem has disappeared.

the built in path cannot be used to determine if we have a garden version and we also cannot inject something in it as one doesn't know where to insert the texmf path (if not present) because the order of path sis not standardized
(ok, i could probably mess a bit and try inject the texmf path at the end, which the might result in double loading of trees but i'd rather first see if the bin is fixed)
the luatex i synced with the garden a few minutes ago gives:
table={ "C:/Users/hagen/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin/",
"c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//share/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//share/texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//share/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/bin//texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin/", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//share/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//share/texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//share/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-mswin//texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//share/texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//share/texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//share/texmf/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//texmf-local/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//texmf-dist/web2c", "c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex//texmf/web2c", }
so it looks like texmf is back in the list

they you probably have a binary with the wrong compiled path in it ... the latest should be ok .. just sync with the garden again (and make sure no luatex binary is open when doing that) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
