[Context] [Bug 379146] [NEW] mtxrun
by Mojca Miklavec 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

Public bug reported: from Alan BRASLAU, untested I did a fresh install of the minimals today and observed a fleeting, obscure mtxrun bug: $ context myfile did not find the script mtx-context.lua $ mtxrun --script /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/\ scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua myfile ran fine, as now does all subsequent runs of "context myfile". So something gets initialized, but is not found by default. You will only notice this upon a (totally) fresh install. ** Affects: context Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mtxrun https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of ConTeXt distribution team, which is the registrant for ConTeXt distribution.

Something is broken in the build script, probably because of a 'make mpost' vs. 'make mpost.exe' issue. This bit: > gcc -g -O2 mpost.c -o mpost is the best hint at what is wrong: make is not using any of the dependencies for mpost.c, which typically happens when you feed make the wrong target. Now I have the 'interesting' problem that I know what is wrong, but not exactly how to fix it. From LuaTeX's build.sh comes the following: case `uname` in MINGW32* ) LUATEXEXE=luatex.exe ;; esac clearly mpost's build.sh needs something similar, but I don't know for sure what 'uname' returns under cygwin. I've attached a version of metapost build.sh that has my best guess. Can you see whether it works? Best wishes, Taco

Hello, What do you (especially Mojca) think about adding cygwin to the supported architectures? I can patch first-setup.sh and the build-scripts and build the binaries. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

[Context] XeTeX (was: MetaPost 1.502)

Thanks a lot for the report. I'm not able to compile XeTeX either (it neither works on Linux nor or Mac OS X), but I hope that Jonathan or Thanh will fix the problem (not even pdfTeX compiles on Hans' Linux machine since recently). Once you have time, please send the logs to them (or do whatever might be needed to debug if you are skilled in that). ------------------ Just a notice to all the other binary builders: as long as problems persist, you may find it handy to patch the following line in do_all.sh, for example: do_cmd "..." ./bin_build.sh --platform=$platform --engines=metapost,luatex,pdftex Valid arguments for --engines are metapost, pdftex, xetex, luatex, luatex_trunk. I excluded pdftex and xetex since compilation for both of them is broken on linux and luatex_trunk is not really used anywhere (it will soon fly away). Mojca

Re: [Context] [dev-context] MetaPost 1.501 (alpha version)
by Mojca Miklavec 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Taco, I didn't follow all the debates recently, so just a short question: which version of metapost should be compiled for minimals and how much does that matter? I see that repository reports metapost: alpha-1.501 at the moment. Is that OK? Should we request a new metapost version from binary builders or should we wait until patches are out?
