Re: [NTG-context] new version luatex / mkiv
Hallo,
is there or will there be a documented interface description for mplib.
In the luatex reference manual (for now).
http://foundry.supelec.fr/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/tags/beta-0.25. 2/manual/?root=luatex
This manual is not viewable without deleting a html-frame. Or what I am doing wrong? The manual describes a lua interface. Isn't mplib a dll under windows? If yes, where can I find a header-file of the export table. If no, how have you implemented the library? Wolfgang

i don't know, it's a pdf document, so no html frame is part of it

no, a cross platform library that will be embedded in lua and the core of metapost 2 (aka megapost) keep in mind that it's beta Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

That is just a weirdness in viewcvs, too bad. Here is better link http://www.luatex.org/svn/tags/beta-0.25.2/manual/luatexref-t.pdf
The manual describes a lua interface.
(next paragraphs written as the MPlib maintainer) Real API documentation will be provided once I am past the "alpha" release stage. At the moment, I do not trust the API enough to expose it to anything except controlled environments (lua mplib, newmpost)
Isn't mplib a dll under windows?
It is possible to build the unix version as a .so because support for that comes from autofoo automatically, but that is not yet officially supported: debugging dynamic libraries is harder than debugging static code. MPlib could become a dll on windows eventually, but first someone will have to explain to me how to create a windows dll (and I vastly prefer a solution that does not involve me having to pay Microsoft any money). I have exactly zero knowledge in that area and do not have a Windows installation either: the one and only XP machine here is my wife's gaming machine and that is strictly offlimits to me. Future versions of luatex and mpost itself (and potential other texlive programs) will almost certainly remain statically linked because that is much more convenient for us as maintainers.

I think the files are defective. No? Is Lua going to be the only or main programming language for use with ConTeXt? -- Best regards, Lou

The files are not defective - if you use svn checkout, it works OK. It seems that only the web interface has problems. Mojca

internally, yes; for additional tasks, i have ruby and lua scripts (trying to get rid of perl scripts); most tools now written in ruby will finally be redone in lua, but only those that still make sense ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
