You're right, I think it has been changed in 10.5, the following text
is copied from sigaltstack(2) in 10.5:
LEGACY SYNOPSIS
#include
#include
The include file is necessary.
struct sigaltstack {
char *ss_sp;
int ss_size;
int ss_flags;
};
int
sigaltstack(const struct sigaltstack *ss,
struct sigaltstack *oss);
The variable types have changed. Specifically, the
sigaltstack struct is no longer used.
COMPATIBILITY
Use of the (obsolete) sigaltstack struct will cause
compiler diagnostics. Use stack_t, defined in
.
I just checked out the latest luatex source from svn, with
the following patch, luatex builds fine on 10.5:

There really is only one executable built: luatex. 'texlua' and 'texluac' are alternate personalities of that executable, 'luatools' and 'mtxrun' are scripts from the context distribution.

That is normal, signals have a portable interface, as defined in ISO C99. That is the interface provided in /usr/include/signal.h. It is also possible to have a system-dependant interface, and that is in /usr/include/sys/signal.h. On linux, this is a stub that simply includes /usr/include/signal.h. So the question is: does /usr/include/sys/signal.h include something important on Mac OS X 10.5 that it didn't in previous versions, or is something else changed?

I do this quite often (ConTeXt -> LaTeX), so I am just writing my thoughts about this. A general purpose translator from ConTeXt to LaTeX is VERY difficult, because of the nature of both macro languages. However, it is relatively simple to convert a subset of one to the other. Currently, I write most of my papers in ConTeXt. For the final version of the paper, most journals want LaTeX. I know my style of writing ConTeXt, and can easily convert 95% percent of it to LaTeX using regular expressions (and have been thinking of exploring gema in more detail: http://gema.sourceforge.net/). It is easier to do the rest by hand rather than writing a script that takes care of all the corner cases. Usually it takes me around 2 hours to convert a (30-40 page) paper from ConTeXt to LaTeX. Since this needs to be done only once every six months or so, I have not spent too much time trying to optimize my approach. I think that the same will be true for conversion from LaTeX to ConTeXt. However, I would suggest that you start by writing some ConTeXt documents by hand, before you automate the conversion. This way, you will know what you want to achieve from a conversion script. Another option is to write a ConTeXt module that will allow you to understand LaTeX. For most environments, this is simple. There are a few examples on the wiki about this. > 6) the most important issue - by looking at luaTeX docs & archives I > noticed that it was mentioned there is some book on ConTeXt in > preparation - I gave up on ConTeXt in the past due to this reason - > lack of up-to-date documentation - didn't have enough time to try to > sovle the puzzle by inspecting different 'magazines' etc. cause I was > able to do the kob with LaTeX for which I've documentation in the form > of paper books. Actually, from a user's point of view, most things are included in the ConTeXt manuals. They are not exhaustive or up-to-date, but do convey the essential information. For most tasks you do not need to know the current state of affairs in ConTeXt.

[NTG-context] [important] ConTeXt Meeting: call for talks & participants
Hello, I will send a more elaborate mail shortly (with a longer explanation), but to put it into a few words, I need to know: a) a rough estimate of the number of people who are planning to come to Bohinj from 20th-25th August b) [REALLY IMPORTANT] some preliminary talks held by people with any kind of academic references For a), I will put a web form online within a few days (so no hurry until then) For b), I would like to ask people (apart from Hans and Taco, who will get another mail) who have any kind of academic references (being a professor, having some reasonable citation index, obtaining any kind of grants (Idris?), being editor of any journals, being a Nobel laureate :) or whatever else) and are planning to come, to drop me a private mail. I will try to apply for funding (for organisation of scientific meeting) to lower the fee. The chances to get that funding is low, but still worth trying, and the number & quality of foreign speakers is one of criteria to be able to get the funding. The meeting will last for 5 days (4 full days, 5 times sleeping there), the fee most probably won't exceed 200 EUR (including accomodation, food, conference materials and at least one half-day or full-day excursion), and there are 4 low-cost airports around (*Ljubljana - Easyjet & Wizzair, Maribor, Trieste, Klagenfurt).

[NTG-context] luatex on x86_64
Hi!
I'm sold to luatex and plan to use it exclusively for all ConTeXt
typesetting in order to help somewhat with testing it.
However, I've some old lyx/latex stuff which needs to be migrated, so
I'd prefer to keep my texlive installation for such stuff and having
minimal ConTeXt installation to be able to typeset with luatex.
There is pretty new PKGBUILd script for Arch Linux and I modified it a
bit (see http://tinyurl.com/3yk6vw) in order to built luatex on x86_64.
However, I see that build.sh.linux (for i386) and build.sh script
differs, and the PKGBUILD created just /opt/texlive/bin/luatex
executable.
Not having access to i686 (i386) machine, I wonder what else is
required to have working luatex installation?
The content of /opt/texlive/bin/luatools script is:
#!/bin/sh
texmfstart luatools.lua "$@"
Running "Hello world" example gives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp> texexec --lua test.tex
TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file test.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 1079
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
the file 'luatools' is not found
TeXExec | runtime: 0.308419
Here is the build() function from PKGBUILD:
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
if [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]; then
cp $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/build.sh.linux
$startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/build.sh fi
./build.sh --datadir=/opt/texlive || return 1
# Overwrite old files
# make $PREFIX=$startdir/pkg/$pkgname-$pkgver install || return 1
install -d $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin
if [ "${CARCH}" = "i686" ]; then
install -m 755 linux/texk/web2c/luatex $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin
else
install -m 755 build/texk/web2c/luatex $startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/bin
fi
}
Here are outputs from texexec & luatex:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp> texexec --lua test.tex
TeXExec | processing document 'test.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp> luatex test.tex
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.20.2-2007122417 (Web2C 7.5.6)
I can't find the format file `luatex.fmt'!
So, something is missing...any pointer for up-to-date doc (url) for
installing/updating of minimal ConTeXt/luatex on x86_64 ?
Sincerely,
Gour

Re: [NTG-context] luatex not compiling
I looked somewhat further and found out the curious fact that on MacOSX 10.5.x both /usr/include/signal.h and /usr/include/sys/signal.h exist! The first one does not include the second one, neither does one of the includes: #ifndef _USER_SIGNAL_H #define _USER_SIGNAL_H #include #include <_types.h> As for changing the discussion to the luatex developer list as suggested by some: my capacity for subscribing list is limited -- capacity in the sense of what I can manage. Putting my observations on the compiler problem with luatex on this list was purely to help others. I hope one will permit me to keep doing so.
