I tried in vain to install the minimals on an old (2003) but still functional iBook G3, running under OSX 10.4.11. After having received some 4MB, I get the message: "dyld: incompatible cpu-subtype" plus a reference to line 103 of first-setup.sh.
This is a binary compatibility problem: the LuaTeX executable for Macs running on PowerPC processors are built on an Intel Mac using a cross-compilation technique. I'm afraid nothing can be done at the moment.
Does anybody on this list know what could be done about this. Btw, this iBook can handle TeX and ConTeXt. I installed MacTeX 2009 and everything works. But I would prefer the minimals.
Yes, for MacTeX (actually TeX Live) the binaries are built on a actual G3. But we can't use TeX Live binaries in the Minimals because we need a more recent LuaTeX. Arthur
