With the finger crossed I will start tomorrow a project in mkiv
Good luck, or as you say in Italy "in bocca al lupo!"…
but I would like to test what Hans, Taco and others are doing, at least to help find bugs for the Right to Left typesetting. It's important, so I write how I setup my minimals on a linux box 1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals-beta 2) cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta 2a) Now put here first-setup.sh (see contextgarden.net/minimals) 3) ./first-setup.sh 3a)If there are some errors due a luatex version; hit return until the end 4) cd tex 5) . setuptex 5a)Now, if you have compiled luatex from svn, put it into texmf- linux/bin 6) context --generate 7) context --make 7a)not errors anymore, I hope. 8)Every time I start a mkiv session I do cd /opt/luatex/minimals-beta/tex . setuptext as first step to ensure correct initilizatione of env variables. 9a)context --generate 9b)context --make to unsure a clean session. 10) always use context to make pdf; ie test your file with context basic-test.tex
YES! I did it step by step as you say above (mutatis mutandis, that is by replacing texmf-linux by texmf-osx-intel): and now I have an mkiv in the minimal tree that works fine: the file basic-test.tex results in: This file has been typeset on October 19, 2008 at 23:56, mkiv, ConTeXt version 2008.10.17 10:41, LuaTeX revision 1, (LuaTeX date stamp 2008101818) Many many thanks! Grazie mille… A last question: it is really necessary to say (in the appropriate directory) . setuptex context --generate context --make for each typesetting session? Or is this a temporary procedure?
If you open first-setup.sh and change this line mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make -- force --engine=all --context=beta --tree=$PWD/tex $@ in mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make -- force --engine=all --tree=$PWD/tex $@ and then 1) mkdir -p /opt/luatex/minimals 2)... you can then end with a minimal installation
I will try these later. In this way one may have various versions at the same time. Best regards: OK
