Just a quick note to everyone who hasn't built yet: please fetch the latest scripts and latest binaries. For everyone else here's the building summary: 1.) One trivial bug (but with serious consequences) and one minor problem have been discovered in XeTeX repository and fixed since my request to build the binaries: - [minor problem] gmake now gets exported and XeTeX can be built on systems where "make" is not GNU make - [bug] ConTeXt format generation fails because \XeTeXrevision had a weird value 2a.) For the sake of replacing xetex.platform in TeX Live, I forgot to include teckit_compile binary, but that's not really a showstopper. That has been fixed, but only armel-linux includes that binary so far. 2b.) I also forgot symlinks for xelatex, but that's easy to fix. 3.) [not fixed yet] The build doesn't return a non-zero value in case that xetex build fails. Thus we have several platforms with missing xetex binary: i386-linux, i386-solaris, x86_64-linux. I'm curious about the problems on i386-linux and x86_64-linux. 4a.) i386-solaris has a weird compiler issue. 4b.) sparc-solaris has a known compiler bug http://wiki.opencsw.org/porting-faq#toc7 4c.) please let us know what goes wrong on i386-linux/x86_64-linux 5.) I disabled building luajittex on i386-darwin until the sources get fixed. I uploaded some binaries to TLContrib, but they suffer from the bug with \XeTeXrevision, so that all ConTeXt formats fail and a new rebuild will be required. There are the following options: a) you run: svn up ./bin_update_src.sh ./bin_update_svn.sh ./bin_build.sh --force --engines=xetex (--engines=xetex is not needed, but --force is) ./bin_commit.sh b) you can change the version of XeTeX in bin/VERSIONS to any value and then run svn up ./do_all.sh (it should trick the scripts to think that the version has changed) c) wait for the next version (in particular that is true for platforms where xetex failed to build :) Mojca
