Hi, sorry for my slow responding rate. I just compiled luatex 0.60.0 native on Tiger 10.11. - After installing and updating it looks like that it works!. i send the binary to Mojca offline. Kind regards Willi On 17 Apr 2010, at 18:41, Mojca Miklavec wrote:
Dear Mac users,
according to the latest findings it seems that natively compiled LuaTeX still works on Mac OS X Tiger, but the cross-compiled one (compiled on 64-bit Mac OS X Snow Leopard) won't work on Tiger since the version beta-0.60.0. However, users report that it still runs perfectly fine on Leopard.
Michael has sent me a new binary compiled on PPC; any user of Tiger on Intel (Willi?) that would like to use the new beta should sent me his own binary.
But in any case it would be great if somebody would figure out the reason why the new LuaTeX fails to work on older macs. Before we were first able to cross-compile, Arthur had to suggest quite some changes in LuaTeX source, so maybe some of newly added libraries or some configuration started messing up things recently.
Based on some assumptions: - there are not too many Mac OS X 10.4 machines around - there are not too many testers of the latest-and-greatest LuaTeX version (apart from ConTeXt community) - if there appears to be a combination of both, users will either stick to some older TeX or at least they will compile luatex on their own (again, apart from ConTeXt community) I expect that there will probably not be much more feedback about the problem, but it would be really really great to fix it. I have no access to Tiger at the moment. I hope that Dick will be able to provide some more feedback once he comes to it. Until that is resolved: if osx-intel/osx-ppc users want to have a working version of minimals, you'll have to provide luatex version on your own.

I just updated the latest beta in a completely new tree:
I get now the following message:

I hit a similar problem on a ppc mac. So it's probably not an intel-only thing. The .firstsetup script crashes. It worked fine through at least March 23, for what it's worth. Here's a transcript I have a crash log too, if that would help. sudo ./first-setup.sh receiving file list ... done bin/ bin/mtx-update.lua bin/mtxrun bin/texlua wrote 18489 bytes read 4918220 bytes 229614.37 bytes/sec total size is 6550101 speedup is 1.33 MTXrun | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/Users/michaelgreen/Applications/context/bin' MTXrun | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/Users/michaelgreen/Applications/context' MTXrun | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '/Users/michaelgreen/Applications' MTXrun | fileio: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '{$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{- local,.local,}/web2c}' MTXrun | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known) MTXrun | using script: ./bin/mtx-update.lua MTXrun | state: loaded MTXrun | update: start ./first-setup.sh: line 69: 5194 Bus error mtxrun -- verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua -- update --make --force --engine=all --context=beta --texroot=$PWD/ tex $@
