Hello list,
I'm trying to use SciTE under Debian GNU/Linux stable (64 bit) to edit
my ConTeXt files.
I've installed scite 3.7.2 from the Debian repository.
Downloaded Scintillua and copied its "lexers" folder under
/usr/share/scite. Created a symbolic link from /etc/scite/lexers to
that folder:
/etc/scite/lexers -> /usr/share/scite/lexers
Copied the "context" folder from tex/texmf-context/context/data/scite
and created a symbolic link to it in /etc/scite:
/etc/scite/context -> /usr/share/scite/context
Appended the following lines to /etc/scite/SciTEGlobal.properties:
import lexers/lpeg
import context/scite-context-user
Now I open Scite and can see the ConTeXt customization.
Shortcuts keys work, but syntax highlighting does not, because the lpeg
library is not loaded.
There's a message in the side window: "warning: lpeg not loaded".
The message comes from the "scite-ctx.lua" file in the "context"
folder.
I've installed the package lua-lpeg from the Debian repository.
When I run "lua scite-ctx.lua" it manages to load the lpeg library,
because the warning does not appear. It's lua inside SciTE that can't
load the lpeg library.
Any hints?
that message about lpeg is just there because the main scite binary has
no lpeg
the lpeg lexing is using a library from scintillua which comes with
textadept (that also uses the scintilla editing component)
it's a bit annoying that this small lpeg lexing extension is not part of
sciet itself nor that scite has lpeg on board (in which case i could
probably make the lexers use that)
in fact, even the scintillua code was a moving target that i redid the
lua code to a large extend to suit my needs and another unfortunate
aspect is that there is no real connection with scite's other propertie
so ... this is what i do (maybe i should ship a zip with all binaries too):
- install scite on windows
- also install the scintillua lib
- copy context stuff over it
- adapt the global or user properties file
this is described in the manual in the distribution btw.
- on linux i just use wine with the above
- on osx we never manages to get the combination working
so ... when i have time (or motivation) i might look into a way to
enable/load lpeg in scite itself (should be doable i guess)
an alternative is to use textadept ... context comes with files that can
be used for that (it simply replaces some text adept files and creates a
context specific instance) .. on my windows:
start textadept -u c:\data\develop\context\textadept\data\context\
(running from the editor is then somewhat more clumsy)
on linux something
textadept -u <texroot>/texmf-context/context/textadept/data/context/
should work (hans that textapdept didn't change much in the meantime)
