TL is currently broken because of the new TeX and aleph & omega & xetex, so I'm stuck. :-(

r7124 has a first import, but compilation is disabled (to enable it, remove the string #LUATEX from web2c/Makefile.in). I've stopped because Taco changed the signature of convert from 3 parameters to 4 and I don't want to introduce that change to web2c; I leave that to Karl (and Taco is offline). If enabled compilation currently fails when converting luatangle:

srcdir=../../../texk/web2c /bin/sh ../../../texk/web2c/web2c/convert luatangle syntax error: Last token = 290 ("), error buffer = `LUATANGLEHELP', last id = `LUATANGLEHELP' (not in symbol table). .../../../texk/web2c/web2c/convert: conversion of luatangle.p failed, moving dregs: .../../../texk/web2c/web2c/convert: mv luatangle.c luatangle.h /tmp make[2]: *** [luatangle.c] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ms/tex/texlive/svn/trunk/Build/source/Work/texk/web2c' make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ms/tex/texlive/svn/trunk/Build/source/Work/texk' make: *** [all] Error 1

Even if building of luatex will succeed once, we still need additional work: - the top-level configure needs a --without-luatex switch - the libs probably need some configure work - and Taco has spent quite some time in making cross-compilation of luatex work. The changes for that might clash with the TL "framework"

we're not going to cripple the compilation by the existing complexity of the tex source tree, are we; i'm somewhat jalous of those repositories with clean source trees that one can download and compile on all relevant platforms without trouble one reason for the separate luatex/mplib tree was that it gives us the possibility to stepwise only add modern progs that we need and thereby simplify things one thing that really bothers me is that tex and friends, being just data proessors (not much gui mes sinvolved), have such a huge and complex source tree 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
