Hi everyone,

I didn't have any luck building XeTeX on i386-linux (too old compiler) and sparc-solaris (some very weird error), but I hope that builds have some chance to work properly under "more normal circumstances". I'm not sure if cross-compiling XeTeX on Mac OS X works either.

You are all invited to do "svn up" on http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries/ and run the builds. Please report any problems (failures to build XeTeX itself should be either addressed to Khaled or XeTeX mailing list or this list, but not to me personally).

Thanks to everyone, Mojca

Hi Mojca, looks good an powerpc-linux: Successfully built binaries: metapost: (skipped) xetex: ok luatex: (skipped) luatex_trunk: (skipped) luajittex: ok (the skipped one were unchanged, I guess?) All best Thomas

Mojca, I'm compiling now. The i386 binaries for xetex and xdvipdfmx built and were submitted; the x86_64 binaries are now building. More soon. Dick On Mar 12, 2013, at 6:47 AM, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

Hi Mojca,

Oh, perfect! The first successful compilation ;)

Thank you.

Mojca,

Xetex and xdvipdfmx both compiled fine in i386, x86_64, powerpc, and universal-darwin. The binaries were submitted.

Thank you. On the bright side, I realized that I forgot to add xelatex (I just added it now) and teckit_compile (which might need another forced build unless Khaled plans a new release soon; and honestly, I don't expect such a high demand for that binary anyway, so there's no need to recompile now). For everyone else: please make sure to do "svn up" before building (but you need to do that anyway).

luajittex compiled fine in x86_64, didn't compile in i386, and the system didn't even try to compile it in powerpc. All of this is nothing new. The x86_64 binary was submitted.

If it is known not to compile, I'll also exclude i386-darwin from the list until the problem is fixed, so that it won't even consume time. I noticed that i386-solaris contains just xdvipdfmx, but no xetex. What exactly went wrong? (Also, it's not clear to me why the whole process didn't return an error and fail to submit that one binary.) I now added darwin binaries to TLContrib. Let's see how many people will complain. To get the binaries to ConTeXt distribution I need to change a few other scripts. Mojca

From what I recall I'm 90% sure that it's because the building scripts don't take user-defined CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS into account, so one half of

So we need to find out why it fails. libraries ends up as 32-bit and the other one as 64-bit and linking fails. (It's probably only luajittex that fails to build, not luajit itself.) I seem to remember that I successfully built 32-bit LuaJITTeX on Mac OS X (maybe I'm wrong though), but that required modifications in building scripts. Mojca

The build script should indeed fail if some parts cannot be compiled. Especially the summary in the end is cofusing. It lists XeTeX as successfully compiled and uploaded, which it's not. Even a recompilation fails, since the revision is already present (unless one deletes the bin directory).

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.
