Hello Alan, my PATH is set to:
PATH=/home/ce/context-install/bin:/home/ce/context-install/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin:/opt/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH;
export PATH
what is that first path doing there
Do we actually need to list all kpsea variable here ?? fine
doesn't hurt .. also because they can be set badly at the os level (you
really don't want to knwo when has be encountered in the 20th century)
Here are some of them, which are really irrelevant by the way, but just
adding info
$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFROOT
/opt/texlive/2023
$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFDIST
/opt/texlive/2023/texmf-dist
$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFLOCAL
/opt/texlive/texmf-local
Now let's take a peek inside the TeX Live infrastructure-only, shall
we? (just for additional info as TeX Live is ocnsidered one of the
many scripts out there, right? One is interested in the standalone in
the end)
LICENSE.CTAN bin install-tl.log texmf-config texmfcnf.lua
LICENSE.TL doc.html readme-html.dir texmf-dist tlpkg
README index.html readme-txt.dir texmf-var
README.usergroups install-tl release-texlive.txt texmf.cnf
that si texlive, not standalone
that texmfcnf.lua only holds
return {
content = {
variables = {
},
},
}
which is useless
and harmless (somethign old texlive)
so, no bueno. Not when the aim is to install a fully functional context
standalone
Now let's take a peek instide and see the binaries
afm2tfm etex kpsereadlink mf mtxrun.lua texluac
bibtex extractbb kpsestat mf-nowin pdfetex tlmgr
context fmtutil kpsewhich mft pdflatex tlshell
context.lua fmtutil-sys latex mkindex pdftex updmap
dvilualatex fmtutil-user luahbtex mktexfmt pktogf updmap-sys
dviluatex gftodvi lualatex mktexlsr pktype updmap-user
dvipdfm gftopk luametatex mktexmf rungs xdvi
dvipdfmx gftype luaotfload-tool mktexpk simpdftex xdvi-xaw
dvipdft inimf luatex mktextfm tex xdvipdfmx
dvips initex makeindex mptopdf texhash
ebb kpseaccess man mtxrun texlua
Do you see that context and context.lua out there, right? That's
only after running tlmgr and installing it, so no bueno, because in
the meantime there's no texmfcnf.lua around
comes from the tex live base package ... harmless, just takes bytes
(only luatex, luametatex, context, mtxrun, context.lua and mtxrun.lua
matter)
Then again, remember in the current state I actually don't have
texmfcnf.lua for the simple reason that first-setup.sh never provided
it, correct?
aditya pointer that out (and it's one of the files that one doesn't want
to be overwritten anyway)
Here we go! Back to point A where we were at before
as alan pointed out: just install with the lmtx installer in a path
separate from tex live, set the path and you're done; don't try to mix
texlive with a adapted of standalone, texlive has its own context
package and updates etc; keep them separated
