[Context] reporting changes in minimals
by Mojca Miklavec 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hello, I'm rewriting the scripts for minimals-building (behing schedule, but well ... at the moment I'm a bit more worried about the exams than the conference). I figured out that I need a way to report any changes that might have occurred from one update to another (let's say that updating script figures out that a library has been renamed from kpathseaXYZ.dll to kpathseaXYW.dll and wants to report that change; in this particular case I will now go for "just include anything that ends with kpath*.dll"). The list would then be checked manually every now and then either by me or other volunteers - that would slightly reduce the risk of completely broken installations (for example when the Polish completely rename the font folders from "public" to "nowacki" etc, it would not to unnoticed until somebody gets a broken installation). One question - what way of reporting the changes is: - relatively easy to implement - even more important: easy to review (that is: no zillions of emails in mailbox) I would like to have a few different layers of importance (for example one full log that would tell me when some file has been changed; one file that would notify of new & deleted files, one log that would report errors etc., one report that would tell me "a new context beta is available", one report for "the basic test for minimals experimental has failed" etc.) PS for Taco: do we need the following two files frow W32TeX: - bin/lib/lua/bit.dll - bin/lib/lua/lxp.dll Mojca

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

[Context] kpathsea60071.dll missing
by Peter Münster 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

Hello, For the windows installation, it seems that kpathsea60071.dll is needed. After copying this file from http://minimals.metatex.org/pragma/mswin/texmf-mswin/bin/ by hand, it works fine. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

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?
