Hans,
would it be possible that a 32bit ConTeXt Suite can be used with a 64bit architecture in Linux?
Sorry, but yesterday I was surprised to see that setuptex isn’t able to find any binaries in Linux if they are 32bit and the processor is 64bit.
Of course, it makes sense in that case that a ConTeXt Suite with 64bit binaries is preferred. But as a fallback, 32bit binaries should be fine.
It should work in principle. Just set "platform=linux" before calling mtx-update.lua and disable '--make'. (You could in principle also call rsync manually.) And then all you need to do is set the PATH to binaries.
The problem is that unless something changed, mtxrun will most likely be causing you some troubles and will insist in fetching x86_64 (I'm not sure how to completely avoid that).
maybe putting 32 bit bins in the 64 bit directory works .. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
