Yes, that was the problem. And I can see there are a few other things I
need to change, but the project was nowhere near finished anyway, and at
least I now have output.

By the way, shouldn't there be an error or at least a warning when ConTeXt
can't produce output? At the very least, the log file should not report
that a PDF file was saved when it was not. This seems like a bug.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Hello, ConTeXt people--

I am coming back to ConTeXt after a long absence (for about the 3rd or 
4th time - maybe if I just stuck with it I wouldn't keep having these 
problems, eh?).


I have a new installation of the standalone ConTeXt package on an Arch 
Linux system. I obtained the 'first-setup.sh' script according to 
instructions, then ran:


./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex --context=current

 I also have TeXlive, including ConTeXt, installed as a regular Arch 
package; however, I don't intend to use it. In any case, I have 
sourced /opt/context/tex/setuptex, so I have:


$ which context
/opt/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context

$ context --version
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.61
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file: 
/opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv

mtx-context | current version: 2015.05.18 12:26

I have tried the hello world example described on the wiki, and the 
output from that is exactly as expected, but I am having trouble with 
a couple of projects that I created in 2006. Each project is 
moderately complex, including an environment file and several product 
files. Each project produced output in the past. But now I run 
'context file', and there are no obvious errors (except for fonts 
not found, but in that case the default font should be used instead, 
correct?), yet no PDF is produced.


Furthermore, the log files say that PDF files were generated, e.g.:

mkiv lua stats  result saved in file: hobo.pdf, compresslevel 3, 
objectcompresslevel 3


And yes, I've checked the modification times on the log files, and 
they are up to date.


Of course I am not giving very much detail, but I have no idea what 
might be relevant. Any ideas about how to troubleshoot this?

When this is the case change this file to a product and all subfiles
