Re: [NTG-context] MkIV missing?

Thank you, Taco Your suggestion resolved the issue for me. Regards Marcus Vinicius On Mon, Oct 4, 2021 at 10:50 AM Taco Hoekwater via ntg-context < ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote:

Hi,

Here is what I assume has happened:

Hans gave LMTX its own "luametatex-cache” directory (around August 20). Previously, the cache for LMTX still used files under luatex-cache, just like MKIV. But since that change, the “context -—generate” call no longer updates files in luatex-cache, only in luametatex-cache.

That is not a big problem unless something happens to clear any existing cache in that folder (like a re-install from scratch, say).

Normally, one runs “context —-generate” to fix the cache and “context —-luatex” to run luatex Combined, that would be “context —-generate —-luatex”. But the problem is that luatex cannot find “mtx-context.lua” exactly because of the missing cache that we are actually trying to create with that command line. Missing “mtx-context.lua” is usually fixed by running the more basic “mtxrun —generate”.

However, “mtxrun -—generate” does not currently support a "-—luatex” argument, so the only way I know of right now to get the luatex-cache restored|updated is to run the command below.

(Incidentally, this sort of issue is why the core command is not “context -—generate” but “mtxrun -—generate”. It is unfortunate that that does not help in this case).

Best wishes, Taco

We are busy with this off-list.

If it is urgent:

luatex --luaonly ~/lmtx/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun.lua --generate

fixed it for me (you’ll need to adjust the path, of course)

Best wishes, Taco

Hi, since a while, I can’t run MkIV any more, even after several runs of install.sh (and mtxrun --generate, of course).
