For Solaris Sparc we have nobody to compile the binaries at the moment. I also have a Sparc server but I cannot remote access it from my location now. But I feel no need to run context on the Sparc.
The person who asked us for adding Solaris x86 support is not using Solaris any more, in last month there was no single Solaris user downloading the minimals and after Oracle overtake, I have been seriously considering removing support for solaris.
However, if there is demand for it, we can keep it. OK. If I'm the only user it's not that important to make it run just for me.
The question is: is these because there's LuaTeX beta-0.61.0 instead of the latest LuaTeX available or is it because my virtual machine (OpenSolaris whatever-version-has-been-available-two-months-ago) and your server "incompatible" in some sense? I suspect that it is the second.
If you are willing to help us debug, I can try to send you unstripped binary. I will help as much as I can. I did some investigation. The results:
I cannot execute the provided binaries, maybe you're right and the systems are incompatible. I downloaded the luatex trunk and compiled the source. I can successfully execute the compiled binary. After having a look at the first-setup.sh script I performed the mtxrun ... line. As expected it failed (as I cannot execute the binaries). I replaced the luatex binary with the fresh compiled one and checked the other programs. Result: I can execute all binaries exept luatex and pdftex. Since I only use MkIV this should not be a problem. So I made the formats and compiled my test document. MkIV works (including metapost). So finally I can get a running system by myself. I will write my own »first-setup.sh« to update my system. - To update the system I can use the following command, right? mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --force --engine=luatex --texroot=$PWD/tex --extras=all - After replacing the »buggy« luatex I make the formats using: mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --make --force --engine=luatex --texroot=$PWD/tex Please correct me if I use the wrong arguments. I don't really understand the use of all the options. How can I check the luatex version used in the minimals? Maybe it is saved in some text file. Background: If the luatex version changes my script needs to fetch the new trunk, compile and replace the »buggy or incompatible« binary. Simply getting the binary and execute --version triggers the error mentioned before. Thanks for your help. If I can do anything (send binaries, etc.) let me know. best regards Marco
