Hi,
when installing (i installed the minimals on a friends new machine) the check for ruby is somewhat anoying when one uses only luatex and not texexec and no ruby is needed
how about moving the test to the end of the instal script and just issue a warning at the end
Hello Hans,
That code has most probably been written by you, so I'm not guilty ... :) :) :)
There's one thing, namely: if one doesn't have ruby and wants to install pdftex, then the warning needs to go to the beginning else formats won't be generated, but the whole downloading process could still take place.
If one only wants to install luatex then there's definitely no need to interrupt the run.
I can remove the warning, but do you have any idea if there's some way to check in batch if user provided --engine=luatex option? Or does anyone else have a better idea?
To Hans: on your friend's machine you can easily remove those three lines that issue the warning (they will never be overwritten), but I agree that this should be fixed (once luatex becomes stable at least :P). I'm just open to best suggestion.
well, i' dsay .. move to the end .. then issue a message that one needs to download ruby if using pdftex/xetex and then run the script again (does not hurt) after all, one wants to install so already downloading is no big deal Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
