Hello,

I would like to ask some Windows user to test if windows minimals still work OK.

just tried the current version (only left out texmf-context).

- kpathsea357.dll is missing ('texexec --make --pdftex' complains about it; luatex also doesn't work without; is 35771 already used by any program?) - still get problems if i call luatools|mtxrun. creating a format is not possible. some examples: R:\tex>luatools --generate LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to R:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to R:/tex/texmf-mswin LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to R:/tex LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to R:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c LuaTools | loading R:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | loading R:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf Should I create the cache path R:/tex/texmf-cache?

And another issue - TeX Live has switched to universal binaries for Mac. Oliver has asked me to do that some time ago, but I didn't want to mess up with having to (cross-)compile the basic binaries as well. What do others think?

(I kind of prefer separate binaries since they are twice smaller and don't really bring many advantages except that one would only need a single package once Oliver's instller comes to existance.)

The transition would need some modifications, I'm first asking for opinion.

the dll is now ok, but we have the cache_is_readable problem for which we need the fix

yes (see above) :)

XeTeX. And I just figured out that I forgot to remove the old one ( kpathsea35671).

maybe binaries should have an accompanying 'liblist.txt' file so that it's easier to check 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

But I fetch luatex stable. If we need to switch to development version, let me know.

You can expect a new release sometime after lunch. best wishes, Taco

I've just installed ConTexT minimals on a new pc with vista 64 and got the 'cache file not writable' messages.

Will Mojca give us a hint when we can reload/reinstall minimals from contextgarden? Or will it be enough to run the 'first-setup' batch file again?

You don't need to reinstall anything. Running first-setup should be enough, but I will go to mountains till Sunday, and it takes about two or three days before changes in LuaTeX trunk propagate to W32TeX binaries anyway (updating W32TeX binaries is only semi-automatic since files often change names). (To be honest, I just run a script to update binaries from Akira from time to time, but I cannot test if it breaks anything, and I don't really keep track of what version is used - I just take whatever is there.)

the minimals use the latest non beta release of context from 21.05.2008. i think all you need is to copy the files luatools.lua and mtxrun.lua from that version (in the texmf-context/scripts/context/lua directory) to the texmf-mswin/bin directory. just overwrite the newer version and all should work. @Mojca: maybe it's a good idea to remove both files from 'mswin.zip'. or make sure somehow that they are in sync with the versions in 'justtex.zip'. just my 2eurocents. best wishes, peter

Best, Ulrich

the minimals use the latest non beta release of context from 21.05.2008.

The minimals use whatever version you ask them to fetch for you. In first-setup.sh I have --context=beta and I sometimes add --context=experimental

The problem is that I have put beta versions of those files into context bin, and if one uses some other version, it fails to work.

i see

Oh, right, the "pragma" dir, sorry. After Hans comes from Cork, I'll ask him to fix a few things, and those two files will then be fetched separately. I also have problems with those two files.

But my question - should "pragma"-like zips contain context beta or current?

current (no doubt about that)

Apart from that - is luatex (& cache paths) working now?

i tested the latest luatex ('updated on 2007-07-17') some hours ago and it still has this problem.

Not some hours ago. One hour ago.

i can rerun the test if you want ;) new binaries will be available at Akira's site at 20:00 (UTC+1)

sorry for the delay but my new pc is at another location (with no mailing list access by now) ... The error messages about writing faults to cache dirs disappeared, and everything seems to work perfectly well here ;-)
