The ConTeXt standalone problem

1,076

Try running first-setup again.

Hans sent an e-mail to the list yesterday saying "don't update from the garden, the configuration seems broken."

I didn't try the broken beta, so I don't know if you and he are talking about the same problem, but it seems like. Hans uploaded a new beta this morning, which I fetched with first-setup and which compiles fine for me.

Like Aditya said, your question was probably better-suited to the mailing list — and you would be very welcome there, of course. Sign up for the ConTeXt mailing list at NTG.nl.

    Today I installed the ConTeXt standalone by following the Windows Installation: ConTeXt Suite with SciTe. After that, I wrote a test file:

    \starttext
    hello, world!
    \stoptext
    

    But failed, the output info is as follows:

    d:\latex>context 00contexttest.tex
    context 00contexttest.tex

    Now, I have gotten no idea to solve this problem. I have tried run setuptex in ../context/tex/, but in vain.

      Did you call setuptex.bat before running context? Try running mtxrun -- generate

      @Aditya yeah, although I have called setuptex.bat, I still get the same message and mtxrun --generate is also abnormal.

      I don't use Windows so it is hard for me to suggest what could be happening. If you don't get any answer here, post of the context mailing list. Hans Hagen, the main developer of ConTeXt, uses Windows + Scite, so you are sure to get an answer there.

      @Aditya Thanks. The next step, will be learing to use the mailing lists that I haven't used that before. :-)

    This morning, I reinstalled ConTeXt standalone and everything was OK :-)

    In that case, I'm flagging this question for deletion as 'too localized'. It was a perfectly good question, don't worry; but the question + my answer will be completely outdated in a week's time, so keeping it around won't help future users.

    Also: glad to hear your installation works now. Happy ConTeXting!

    ConTeXt is supercool :-) I also think we should close this question.
