For some reasons, os.currentplatform() returns "generic" under FreeBSD (tested on 7.0), which is not defined in the platforms table and creates this error. The workaround is to pass the platform name to first-setup.sh: ./first-setup.sh --platform=freebsd But near the end of the installation process, MtxRun fails to execute the binaries because it tries to find them in tex/texmf-generic. At this stage, I have used the source command to setup the environment and executed texexec --make --all to finish up the installation. So good so far, it seems to work, but I have no idea what's happening there. Bye, Dominique

Hello Dominique, First of all - I'm impressed by the number of FreeBSD users :) Nobody has ever requested the standalone distribution for ages since it existed. LuaTeX needs to support the platform (there's a fixed set of platform names predefined, but I thought that the issue has been resolved already). Taco seems to have applied a patch to resolve the issue on 20th May, but that's more recent than the latest luatex beta. Diego or Yue - maybe you should submit a more recent luatex binary to "current" to support FreeBSD on minimals? Thanks, Mojca

Hello Dominique, can you please try if it works now? Diego commited the new luatex for FreeBSD. Thanks, Mojca
