Hello, how do I pass an option for luatex? I need something like this: context --nonstopmode --file-line-error --halt-on-error --output-directory=tmp file.tex Thanks, Marius
Here is a patch. I can now pass whatever I want for luatex. But looks
like luatex ignores: --file-line-error, --halt-on-error and
--output-directory=tmp options. Is this by intention or just a missing
functionality?

Your patch overrides the default behavour of --luatex. Also, it will look funny if I use context (the wrapper script) with pdftex engine: context --pdftex --luatex=--file-line-error .... Texexec uses the option --passon for passing on options to the engine. Maybe that is a better keyword than --luatex.

No idea. Aditya

Possibly because context's lua startup file either overrules or ignores these settings. Luatex's start up sequence is a quite a lot different from pdftex's, see the luatex reference manual for details. Best wishes, Taco
