Hello Dominique,
First of all - I'm impressed by the number of FreeBSD users :) Nobody
has ever requested the standalone distribution for ages since it
existed.
LuaTeX needs to support the platform (there's a fixed set of platform
names predefined, but I thought that the issue has been resolved
already). Taco seems to have applied a patch to resolve the issue on
20th May, but that's more recent than the latest luatex beta.
Diego or Yue - maybe you should submit a more recent luatex binary to
"current" to support FreeBSD on minimals?
Thanks,
Mojca
