texexec is deprecated?
Hi all, I did a quick standalone install of Mark IV: ```shell mkdir ~/context cd ~/context wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh sh first-setup.sh --modules=all --context=current --engine=luatex’) ``` Set the correct paths and env in `~/.bashrc': ```shell # Add ConTeXt platform=osx-64 PATH=~/context/bin:~/context/tex/texmf-$platform/bin:$PATH source ~/context/tex/setuptex export PATH ``` (By the way, the latest lmtx installer is missing the `setuptex' file.) I was able to use `context’ but not `texexec’. The latter (`texexec —pdf test.tex’) tells me that some format file (`cont-en.fmt’) can’t be found. Is `texexec’ obsolete? The 2013 ConTeXt manual still uses it, though. Regards Jon

texexec is only for Mark II (8-bit pdfTeX, XeTeX) which has been frozen for years now. lmtx is only for Mark >= IV (new version of LuaTeX), so texexec no longer makes sense there and anything needed to run it is also missing. Support is only provided for Mark IV and later. Mojca
