I'll happily do this, but unfortunately I don't even know what you are
talking about …
So far I've never built luatex from source, I don't know what dbg is and
I've never heard of valgrind … is this something that can be done by a
few lines of input that you can offer me or do I have to dig into
building luatex? (If so, I'll try to, but it may take some time …)
It's not simple, but it's not complex neither:
First install some packages:
sudo aptitude install build-essential autopoint subversion gdb valgrind
I don't think some are missing, but it's not easy to test...
svn co https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/trunk
cd trunk
./build.sh --debug --make
Here it might output errors, if it does it means you should install more
packages, please tell me the errors if there are some.
Surprisingly, this worked on my totally broken Arch Linux so far … I get
no error messages, seems to be fine.
sudo cp /usr/bin/luatex /usr/bin/luatex-old
sudo cp build/texk/web2c/luatex /usr/bin/luatex
fmtutil --byengine luatex
But this does not work, the .ini files are not found:
[130] arno@tiger> fmtutil --byengine luatex
fmtutil: running `luatex -ini -jobname=dvilualatex
-progname=dvilualatex dvilualatex.ini' ...
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.77.0-2013051112 (rev 4635) (INITEX)
! I can't find file `dvilualatex.ini'.
<*> dvilualatex.ini
Please type another input file name:
! Emergency stop.
<*> dvilualatex.ini
This comes for all luatex-based formats. The .ini files and bins are
located at
/home/texlive2013/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/luatex.ini
/home/texlive2013/bin/x86_64-linux/luatex
Is this a problem? Everything is owned by arno, not by root. Calling
luatex reports v0.77, so it is found correctly.
Not related to the original problem, but something definitely is wrong
here …
cheers
