Hi, many context users are also luatex user, and the context standalone also contains luatex binary (windows). I input the 'luatex' in the cmd, but it can't work. The message is as follows: d:\>luatex luatex This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.77.0-2013041621 (rev 4633) \write18 enabled. **\relax I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'!kpathsea: Running mktexfmt luatex.fmtThe command name is D:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\mktexfmt Since there is not mktexfmt in the context standalone, is that mean I can't use plain luatex in the context standalone?
1) Create a file “luatex-plain.tex” with the following context: \input plain \directlua {tex.enableprimitives('', tex.extraprimitives())} \pdfoutput=1 \everyjob \expandafter {% \the\everyjob \input luatex-basics\relax \input luatex-fonts\relax \input luatex-mplib\relax } \edef\fmtversion{\fmtversion+luatex} \dump 2) Build the format: luatex --ini luatex-plain.tex 3) Compile with: luatex --fmt=luatex-plain.fmt somefile.tex Marco
