Hi Luigi I'll install the following and try to build LuaTeX 0.8 with this instead of the original Mingw32 setup. The following distribution looks far more comprehensive and up-to-date. http://mingw-w64.yaxm.org/doku.php/download/win-builds Best wishes --- and many thanks Graham

Hi Luigi

I was not aware of this one. I'm using : http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/MSYS2%20installation/ which is manageable through pacman. I wonder how they compare. Best regards, Fabrice
Dear All Apologies for recent noise over my inability to build LuaTeX 0.80 on Windows. I finally got LuaTeX 0.80 to build but had to re-install MinGW/MSYS: MinGW from here: http://mingw-w64.yaxm.org/doku.php/download/win-builds MSYS from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages... --- downloaded (MSYS-20111123.zip After that, a fresh SVN checkout as well and it worked. Build scripts no longer seems to run makeinfo but I have no idea why this suddenly works. I just accept that it did. Warm wishes Graham

good. I usually run $>./build.sh --parallel --jit --mingw64 &> out-mingw64 and then $> tail out-mingw64 CC libluatex_a-avlstuff.o CC libluatex_a-managed-sa.o CC libluatex_a-utils.o CC libluatex_a-unistring.o AR libluatex.a CC luatexdir/luatex-luatex.o CC mplibdir/luatex-lmplib.o CXXLD luatex.exe -rwxrwxr-x 1 luigisvn luigisvn 11209728 Jun 14 14:57 build-windows64/texk/web2c/luajittex.exe -rwxrwxr-x 1 luigisvn luigisvn 10830336 Jun 14 14:57 build-windows64/texk/web2c/luatex.exe Anyway, you should always check out-mingw64 for strange warnings/errors. Can you also check if luajittex build is ok? --parallel means (look into build.sh) JOBS_IF_PARALLEL=${JOBS_IF_PARALLEL:-3} MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL=${MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL:-2} but on my quad-core with hyperthreading I set JOBS_IF_PARALLEL=${JOBS_IF_PARALLEL:-16} MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL=${MAX_LOAD_IF_PARALLEL:-16} (and yes, it can freeze my box ). -- luigi
