I did some more debugging:
In the file kpse.rb I entered an exception object after line 274, like this:
unless done then
formatpaths.each do |fp|
fpp = fp.sub(/#{engine}\/*$/o,'')
begin
FileUtils.makedirs(fpp)
rescue => excobj
puts "#{excobj.class}:
#{excobj.message}" # false # maybe we don't have an path yet
end
if FileTest.directory?(fpp) &&
FileTest.writable?(fpp) then
# use this path
This generates the following output when running texexec --make --all
TeXExex | using tex engine pdftex
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory -
c:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/web2c/pdftex:c:
TeXExex | using tex format path ./pdftex
TeXExex | unable to make format due to lack of permissions
TeXExex | using mp engine mpost
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory -
c:/context/tex/texmf-mswin/web2c/:c:
TeXExex | using mps format path
Does this help in solving this problem?
Thanks,
Harrie
