Public bug reported: Is it possible to distribute a newer Windows luatex binary? I installed ConTeXt on a Windows XP SP2 system following the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Windows under the heading "Installation: local & command-line." Then, compiling the traditional test file: \starttext Hello, world! \stoptext bombed. I am happy to reproduce the errors and attach log files, but to cut to the chase it seems that the old Windows luatex binary presently distributed at minimals.contextgarden.net doesn't play nice with recent ConTeXt distributions. I tried current, alpha, beta, and 2008.10.31, which all failed. I then reinstalled minimals with --context=beta, grabbed the latest Windows luatex binary from http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 (currently beta 0.30.3) and copied the newer luatex binary over the old one in c:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin. I then ran luatools --selfupdate, mtxrun --selfupdate, luatools --generate, context --make en. Now the simple test document and other more complicated documents compile just fine. ** Affects: context Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Minimals distributes old Windows luatex binary that doesn't work with ConTeXt distributions (current, beta, alpha, 2008.10.31) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319036 You received this bug notification because you are a member of ConTeXt distribution team, which is the registrant for ConTeXt distribution.
