Hi, I run into the following error with the new version: 'luatools --generate' results in Error in lua file loading: r:\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\luatools.lua:1402: attempt to call field 'gettimeofday' (a nil value) There seems to be no 'os.gettimeofday' under Windows XP. This patch of luatools.lua works here (better check twice) :D if os.gettimeofday then os.clock = os.gettimeofday local startuptime = os.gettimeofday() function os.runtime() return os.gettimeofday() - startuptime end end -- if os.gettimeofday then -- os.clock = os.gettimeofday -- end -- do -- local startuptime = os.gettimeofday() -- function os.runtime() -- return os.gettimeofday() - startuptime -- end -- end Best wishes, Peter

Your LuaTeX is "too old". Take yesterday's beta (0.20).
mhh, I already use this version in my minimal installation. There is no doubt about it.

Then perhaps luatools --selfupdate? (only guessing) Mojca

Did you forget to copy the new executable to texlua.exe perhaps? os.gettimeofday() is available everywhere except on Solaris. Best wishes, Taco

It seems to work, though (at least on my machine :-) And it's in the Solaris 9 libc.
Can you (or someone else) figure out what the C preprocessor defines are for "post-SunOs Solaris"? If that is clear, I can use that. Either that or a volunteer that wants to work on an autofoo patch for me would make this work on almost all modern machines. Best wishes, Taco

Bingo! This reminds me, that there are still three identical huge files in my bin directory. Aside from the waste of space such stupid errors can occur. Is this problem solved in the meantime? Thanks anyway, Peter

texlua.bat: @echo off luatex --luaonly %1 Should work. Best wishes, Taco

Yes, I already had a batch sript for this, but the latest mswin binaries contains a texlua.exe. I didn't check, so it's my own fault. Still there is no such solution for texluac.exe. I run ConTeXt in a RAM disk, so I don't like the idea of wasting any space. Time to learn some more luatex. :) Thanks to all of you for the help! Peter

Actually, texluac.bat: @echo off luatex --luaconly %1 but it is not mentioned in the --help output, so I am not surprised you didn't know that. Best wishes, Taco

Akira Kakuto distributes "luatex.dll" in his W32TeX distribution, and links all three binaries to them. But it should also be possible to write a simple batch file like texlua.bat calling "luatex --luaonly"; and that way you don't have to remember to copy all three binaries each time (which is equivalent to linking on Unix, and replacing only the LuaTeX binary). I wonder if anyone has already done that? Arthur
