I suppose I've made some progress, although at the moment it
doesn't feel like it ;-)
The reason why I initially held off on adding xindy to the book,
after we had the report that it was not rebuilt in a
from-source-over-binary build, is that I could not find any
information about how to test it.
Later, I found something on stackexchange and adapted that.
Tonight, looking at my current version I noticed that my commands to
run the test target (now called just 'xindy') are
lualatex xindy.tex
makeglossaries xindy
lualatex -shell-escape xindy.tex
And that is currently followed by
test $$(pdfinfo xindy.pdf | grep '^Pages:' | awk '{ print $$2 }') =
"4"
to trap if it fails.
I forget what '-shell-escape' does, so I started by googling for
xindy examples : and found another, at
tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/samples/samplexdy.tex
(I suppose you can wget that - I used firefox to download it.
This doesn't need lualatex, nor fontconfig fonts, only latex,
pdflatex, makeglossaries, and of course xindy. And on BLFS-svn it
works fine, even on 32-bit (5 pages, two of which are the glossary).
Commands -
latexsamplexdy
makeglossaries samplexdy
pdflatex samplexdy
So, now I have to work out why _my_ test breaks on 32-bit but this
one doesn't, and also to raise a bug against slackbuilds.
