[NTG-context] Problem with LMTX on macOS: no format file given, quitting
Hello list, I am writing to you about a problem with ConTeXt LMTX and TeXShop 5.11 on macOS 12.6.3 (MacBook Air M2). Yesterday I installed LMTX on my computer following the instructions here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installing_ConTeXt_LMTX_on_MacOS The LMTX tree is correctly installed in the directory I've chosen: charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % which luametatex /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-LMTX/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/luametatex charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % type luametatex luametatex is /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-LMTX/tex/texmf-osx-arm64/bin/luametatex charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % luametatex --version This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.10.06 Execute 'luametatex --credits' for credits and version details.

This macro package tightly integrates TeX and MetaPost in close cooperation with Lua. Updates will happen in sync with ConTeXt and when needed. Don't be fooled by unchanged dates: long-term stability is the objective. However, I also get this: charlie@Air-di-Tommaso ~ % luametatex startup error : no format file given, quitting Also, I created the TeXShop engine as indicated on the page (I've done it before with no problems). However, now when I run LMTX from editor to compose a source, the source is compiled with MkIV Standalone, which I have in another folder ( /Users/charlie/Documents/ConTeXt/ConTeXt-MkIV). LMTX doesn't even work from a terminal, of course. The curious thing is that even by launching the ConTeXt present in TeX Live, what really works is always MkIV Standalone. Do you have any idea where I might have gone wrong?

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt Standalone does not works on macOS Monterey with Apple M2 chip
While waiting for Mojca's attempts, for the moment I solved it by simply copying the folder of the old Mac in which I had installed the Standalone to the Mac M2. I have slightly modified the TeXShop scripts and everything works. The log tells me: This is LuaTeX, Version 1.13.0 (TeX Live 2021) Compiling with LMTX, i read: ConTeXt ver: 2022.09.11 20:44 LMTX And compiling with MkIV (of the TeX Live 2022): This is LuaTeX, Version 1.15.0 (TeX live 2022) Tommaso Il giorno dom 9 ott 2022 alle ore 09:23 Tommaso Gordini < illinguista1...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Hello list, > > I'm trying to install ConTeXt Standalone on my Mac (macOS 12.6 Monterey > and Apple M2 chip) but at the end of the installation the ConTeXt-MkIV > folder (where I install Standalone) on the disk weighs only 7MB (the tex > tree is created, but its folders are empty). > I've never had a problem installing it on my old computer (Intel > processor). > > Do you know if it is a known problem? > > These are the commands I used (taken from the wiki): > > rsync -av rsync: //contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . > sh ./first-setup.sh --modules = all --fonts = all --goodies = all > --context = latest --engine = luatex > > Where am I wrong? > > LMTX installation, on the other hand, should be successful (the folder > weighs 297.8 MB, as much as the Standalone one should weigh). > > Thanks in advance. > Tommaso > ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] ConTeXt Standalone does not works on macOS Monterey with Apple M2 chip
Hello list, I'm trying to install ConTeXt Standalone on my Mac (macOS 12.6 Monterey and Apple M2 chip) but at the end of the installation the ConTeXt-MkIV folder (where I install Standalone) on the disk weighs only 7MB (the tex tree is created, but its folders are empty). I've never had a problem installing it on my old computer (Intel processor). Do you know if it is a known problem? These are the commands I used (taken from the wiki): rsync -av rsync: //contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . sh ./first-setup.sh --modules = all --fonts = all --goodies = all --context = latest --engine = luatex Where am I wrong? LMTX installation, on the other hand, should be successful (the folder weighs 297.8 MB, as much as the Standalone one should weigh). Thanks in advance.

Re: [NTG-context] Mark IV or LuaMetaTeX?
Thank you, Keith! Everything works fine, except Synctex. So, between MkIV and LMTX you recommend LMTX. Perfect.

[NTG-context] Mark IV or LuaMetaTeX?
Hello list, forgive me if my question is too general and trivial and without a minimum code. In the current state of ConTeXt development, which engine do you recommend to use *definitively*? ConTeXt MkIV or LMTX? I use macOS 10.15.7, on which I have MacTeX-2022, ConTeXt Standalone and ConTeXt LMTX. My editor is TeXShop 4.72 (the last one), even if Synctex doesn't work too well: source to PDF is almost OK, but PDF to source is still very inaccurate, not to mention that to activate the direct and reverse search you have to write such a thing as %! TEX TS-program = ConTeXt2021 %! TEX useAlternatePath %! TEX useConTeXtSyncParser \setupsynctex [state=start, method=min] \starttext ... \stoptext I also have the latest TeXworks on board, but I don't understand how to set it up. If you think that for ConTeXt is better than TeXShop and you want to teach me how to set it up, thank you.
