Problems building the latest snapshot on Linux

Hi, I'm getting the following error when running build.sh config.status: error: cannot find input file: test/Makefile.in this seems to be happening as part of the process of build libzzip. I've attached a log of the relevant portion below. Is there something missing in my Linux installation that could be causing this? Thanks! mkdir -p ../../libs/zziplib && cd ../../libs/zziplib && cp -a ../../../src/texk/web2c/../../libs/zziplib/* . && env CPPFLAGS=-I../../../src/texk/web2c/../../libs/zlib ./configure --disable-builddir --disable-shared && cd ../../libs/zziplib/zzip && make CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-g -O2 ' LDFLAGS='' libzzip.la checking build system type... i686-pc-linux checking host system type... i686-pc-linux checking target system type... i686-pc-linux checking for gsed... sed checking default prefix path... /usr/local checking default prefix system... is /local-package ...using thread-safe linkage checking zlib install prefix... none checking rpm spec file... zziplib.spec checking for spec package... zziplib checking for spec version... 0.13.47 checking for spec license type...

Building luatex on i386-darwin
by Arthur Reutenauer 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hello luatex team, I'm sure you will be delighted to know that luatex compiles fine on Intel-based Macs (MacBook with Intel Core Duo processor running MacOS 10.4 Tiger), but for two culprits (I used the latest SVN trunk, version 159 committed this afternoon; with the snapshot from late October there was one more error). The first one is really ridiculous: there are two places where a Makefile uses the '-a' switch to cp, which appears not to be legal on Darwin; and even though it should be easy to fix for any person wanting to build luatex on such a machine (in my case I simply installed the GNU coreutils), I think it's advisable to replace it with an equivalent (the manpage for GNU cp mentions -a is simply a shorthand for -dpR, but then -d isn't recognized by Darwin's cp either so I don't know what to recommand). The two occurrences are found in src/texk/web2c/luatexdir/luatexlib.mk, lines 127 and 137, respectively. I don't think it is necessary to send a patch for such a small change; it's only a matter of replacing the offending switch with an appropriate set of options in two places. The other one is more worrying; it's also a portability issue, this time in the linking phase: apparently the native linker doesn't know about the -E switch (which for GNU ld is an equivalent for --export-dynamic, so it has nothing to do with gcc's -E). I know nothing of linkers and of binary formats, so I decided to simply drop that option (which is only used in the very last phase, when linking luatex together), and it worked... but when it will come to distribute luatex you may well want to find a real solution. This option is used in src/texk/web2c/luatexdir/luatex.mk, at line 32 as I speak. Finally, at the same moment, the linker complained about multiple definitions of the symbol _scandir (in /usr/lib/libm.dylib --that is the system's libm-- and luatex0.o), but again, I decided not to bother. Anyway, the binary worked as expected, as far as I could tell: it was able to produce a plain format (I didn't try with latex.ltx); it could output PDF or DVI as desired; and the new primitives were there, although in this latter case I wasn't sure about what to test. Yours, Arthur

[Fwd: Your work on Arabic typesetting]
by Taco Hoekwater 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Your work on Arabic typesetting Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 19:06:14 -0500 From: Glenn R Williams <gloonie(a)earthlink.net> To: taco(a)elvenkind.com Hi Taco, I read on the TUG site that one of your projects is to work on a grant to develop Arabic typesetting capabilities. Is there any place where one can check in periodically to see the progress? I'm very interested in the topic (although I wouldn't be much help, since I am just learning Arabic). One place I thought might be of use for you, if you haven't already contacted them, are the people at: http://www.arabeyes.org Best of luck in your work! Glenn Williams

Snapshot 20061023
by Taco Hoekwater 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Hi, I have just uploaded snapshot 20061023, with a few bugfixes discovered by Hans: * there was a missing callback: find_font_file * program_invocation_name was not set * buf_size could not be more that 300k And I've updated the manual as well (in the bz2 file) Have fun, Taco ----- Downloading and installation details: If you go to https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 you will see that there are two new released files: * luatex-snapshot-20061023.tar.bz2 This is the source tree. * luatex-snapshot-20061023-win32.zip A cross-compiled (mingw) windows binary. This is a web2c based binary, so it needs a texmf.cnf file (It will NOT work if you have only miktex installed). This executable cannot run dynamically loaded lua dlls. Perhaps that can be fixed but I do not know how.

LuaTeX web pages
by Jarimatti Valkonen 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi! Trying to access LuaTeX documentation page at URL: http://www.luatex.org/documentation produces the following error: "403 Error- Verboden!" I presume this is not intended behaviour. Otherwise everything seems to work fine. I'm really looking forward to hear more about LuaTeX, it sounds very intresting! -- Jarimatti Valkonen javalkon(a)hytti.uku.fi

Snapshot 20061013 + manual
by Taco Hoekwater 15 Oct '06

15 Oct '06

Hi, Last friday I uploaded a new snapshot and today I finally finished updating the manual to go with it. The changes all relate to startup, file i/o, and callbacks. The main achievement is: you can now run luatex without it *ever* initializing kpathsea. Because I am lazy, I have checked in the pdf of the manual as well, so that I can say: Please look at https://foundry.supelec.fr/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/manual/luatexref-t.pd… for all the details. :-) Have fun, Taco ----- Downloading and installation details: If you go to https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 you will see that there are two new released files: * luatex-snapshot-20061013.tar.gz This is the source tree. * luatex-snapshot-20061013-win32.zip A cross-compiled (mingw) windows binary. This is a web2c based binary, so it needs a texmf.cnf file (It will NOT work if you have only miktex installed). This executable cannot run dynamically loaded lua dlls. Perhaps that can be fixed but I do not know how.
