[NTG-context] First report on use
Hi!
After discovering some details of ConTeXt during EuroTeX2009 I decided
to try it.
First problem, already encountered during EuroTeX: installation.
On both of my machines the installation of the minimals failed.
See attached file.
For example: lines 13-14 rsync error, but at lines 26-30 it looks like
it works, just a moment: after 30-35 I get 36-37 = error again.
On lines 77-80 there is another type of error.
But I installed ConTeXt from a copy of what Mari had on her portable
(this brings other questions, later); so it works for now.
But still in the error file, looking at lines 97-98 and 99-100, for
example, what is the installation program changing in my mikTeX
installation?
---
Now for the working installation.
1) As it was taken from Mari machine, isn't there possible problems with
parameters from her machine which are not the same on mine?
2) How can update and/or create new formats?
I am using ConTeXt with TeXworks; I did install a full copy of TeXworks
(programs and dlls) in
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\texmf-context\context\data\texworks and I issue
the setuptex.bat command before to start the ConTeXt TeXworks. (You can
see that I installed ConTeXt in a folder without spaces in the name:
C:\Programmes\ConTeXt\.)
I am only using Mark IV, following the suggestion of Hans (for French,...)
So I didn't install Ruby.
OK the next questions will be about documentation, in another message.
Thanks very much for ConTeXt (and again for EuroTeX2009 - it was very good).
Regards,
Alain

You need to install Ruby first (if you want to use pdfTeX or XeTeX).

Hello Alan, Try GUI Windows installer: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/context-installer/ContextMinimalInstall.exe It should work smoothly Regards, Vyatcheslav ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] First report on use
Hi! Strange. Do you use proxy? Any other peculiarity in your configuration? Vyatcheslav It didn't work. After starting, an cmd window opened and I got 2 error messages: Update failed Error code: 1 Make failed Error code:1 So I keep my present version. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
