[NTG-context] Fatal error: return code: 256 with documents in ConTeXt's distribution

[Nicola]

I am trying to typeset some documents under

tex/texmf-context/doc/context/sources

with mixed results. I am using ConTeXt from TeX Live 2021, and the latest
LMTX (just rsync'ed). Results vary:

1. Successful in both cases:

$ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate 
mag--mkiv.tex
[...]
system  | total runtime: 5.074 seconds

$ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context 
--autogenerate mag--mkiv.tex
[...
$ system  | total runtime: 3.323 seconds of 3.389 seconds

2. Fatal error with TeX Live vs apparently stuck with beta:

$ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate 
mag-1104-mkiv.tex
[...]
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256

$ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context 
--autogenerate mag-1104-mkiv.tex
[...]
pages   > flushing realpage 7, userpage 6, subpage 7
pages   > flushing realpage 8, userpage 7, subpage 8
pages   > flushing realpage 9, userpage 8, subpage 9
[Gets stuck at this point, with luametatex using 100% CPU]

3. Fatal error in both cases:

$ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate 
mag-1102-mkiv.tex
[...]
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256

$ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context 
--autogenerate mag-1102-mkiv.tex
[...]
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256

4.  Fatal error in TeX Live, successful with beta:

$ /Library/TeX/texbin/mtxrun --script context --autogenerate metafun.tex
[...]
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256

$ ~/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun --script context 
--autogenerate metafun.tex
[...]
system  | total runtime: 10.509 seconds of 10.569 seconds

And so on.

The above tests were done in two different terminal windows, with $PATH
set accordingly. I have reported the full path to the executable for
clarity.

This is with Intel macOS. Is anyone able to reproduce these results? Or
should I search for something wrong with my setup?

Nicola

[NTG-context] fatal error: return code: 256

[Saša Janiška]

Hello,

tried to install lmtx (Debian Sid) from scratch, did:


* wipe the texmf-cache directory
* mtx-install |   - run: mtxrun --generate
* mtx-install |   - run: context --make

but still getting:

[...]
languages   > language 'en' is active
runtime error : input file './t.tex' is not found, quitting
mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256


Any hint?


Sincerely,
Gour
