Good to know, but MSYS2 is fine for me.
i can actually compile luametatex under msys rt (or cygwin but that one i'll remove when i have time) but prefer to use the linux subsystem so actually at the windows end we have native (more secured), cross compiled (faster than native so i use that) and msys (probably a mix)
Sorry, Hans, this was only related to how I get my SHA sums (MSYS2 is more like home field to me than PowerShell). Cross-compilation for ConTeXt binary is totally fine for me (even with this one particular nasty glitch).
I wonder whether this makes more than one hundred binaries, being the latest one the first and only one that has been denied access by Windows.
unless you changed your system (like different path added?)
I haven’t changed anything, but not being self-employed and having all IT being remotely managed, I cannot say that I’m 100% sure that no system-related thing has been changed (I’d rather avoid asking about this [too long and rather stupid story]).
afaikt nothing changed in the installer so luametatex should work ok and 64 bin binaries have been around for a while
I have been using most of these binaries for that while, since I tend to update to current latest(*), without any issue (huge thanks for that to everyone involved). (*) I came to realize that I prefer to hit new bugs (that need reporting and fixing) than older ones (that may have been already fixed). In an unexpected twist, testing (about three hours ago) what Bruce asked me to explain, binaries started working again (`context --version` or `luametatex --version` gave the right output instead of the message in Spanish "Acceso denegado"). So it seems that these binaries are usable again (sorry for being overcautious, but I would like to test them extensively [I have used it as in any other previous ConTeXt distribution and they seem to work fine; but the more extensive the testing, the better]). Many thanks for your help and sorry for what turned out to be noise, Pablo
