So here's what I've got for a TODO so far to get ConTeXt working on Alpine Linux with musl (subject to item #6, mtx-context.lua not being found):
1. Add the musl test to first-setup.sh 2. Add the same musl test to tex/setuptex
no problem adding a robust test there
3. Add texlua (and texluac?) to a. the setup rsync bin/ directories b. the tex/texmf-linuxmusl(|-ppc|-64)
we don't use texluac, don't need texlua on windows and on linux texlua is just a symlink if musl needs different bin then there should be a different initial download i think because basically we're now talking of: windows, osx, linux, linuxmusl (a different species)
4. Update mtxrun
Here's code that ought to work for detecting musl in mtxrun. Around line 3721 of the mtxrun add:
if find(architecture,"x86_64",1,true) then platform="linux-64" elseif find(architecture,"ppc",1,true) then platform="linux-ppc" else platform="linux" end + if resultof("ldd --version 2>&1"):find("musl") ~= nil then + platform = platform:gsub("linux", "linuxmusl") + end
that's not going to happen, some system call 9each run) in order to determine what linux species we run ... (there are a few calls but these are never used becasue we use HOSTTYPE (if needed we can set one ourselves on these platforms) isn't there some magic env var that tels if musl is used? do programs and scripts really have to jumpo through such loops
5. Note that in tex/setuptex, there's evidently no way to get the current script so one has to explicitly provide the TeX directory (appears to be a BusyBox bug). 6. `context` is unable to locate `mtx-context.lua`. Some tracker output sheds some light: i. context --trackers=resolvers.expansions is identical ii. context --trackers=resolvers.details,resolvers.details differs, with the output attached. Note that to keep the comparison short I removed lines that differed only because `linux` had been changed to `linuxmusl`.
Will keep plugging away to see if I can determine why `mtx-context.lua` cannot be found on Alpine Linux. hm, so musl is far from a drop=in for glib or do i get it wrong
