Hans, would it be possible that a 32bit ConTeXt Suite can be used with a 64bit architecture in Linux? Sorry, but yesterday I was surprised to see that setuptex isn’t able to find any binaries in Linux if they are 32bit and the processor is 64bit. Of course, it makes sense in that case that a ConTeXt Suite with 64bit binaries is preferred. But as a fallback, 32bit binaries should be fine. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

The script relies on "unamne -m". It does not care what processor is used, but rather what system and libraries are installed. You can certainly run the 32bit binaries in a 32bit chroot (but why would you want to do this?). Alan

It should work in principle. Just set "platform=linux" before calling mtx-update.lua and disable '--make'. (You could in principle also call rsync manually.) And then all you need to do is set the PATH to binaries. The problem is that unless something changed, mtxrun will most likely be causing you some troubles and will insist in fetching x86_64 (I'm not sure how to completely avoid that). Mojca

maybe putting 32 bit bins in the 64 bit directory works .. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks for your replies, Alan, Mojca and Hans. Sorry, I still think it shouldn’t be that complex. In setuptex.bat we have: set TEXMFOS=%~s1texmf-mswin-64 if exist %TEXMFOS%\bin\mtxrun.exe goto start [...] set TEXMFOS=%~s1\texmf-win32 if exist %TEXMFOS%\bin\mtxrun.exe goto start What prevents in setuptex to also check for the path of the binaries and go to Linux32 when the path for Linux64 binaries doesn’t exist?
