[NTG-context] Minimals and FreeBSD [almost-panic]
Hello guys, esp Yue and Diego, while trying to update binaries from TeX Live repository ... I have discovered that FreeBSD has disappeared completely (http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/bin/). http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2009-October/023003.html What has happened to the binary builders? Mojca (Sorry, but I'll be saving the world tomorrow. If any file disapears by then ... please wait patiently.) ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

[NTG-context] Minimals and FreeBSD
MtxRun | skipping configuration for /texmf-local/web2c from /home/diego/luatex-cache/context/fcf214085bb2c4fcd9a0f9a9f0d0aecf/trees/d80510d450a3fa2a64df4d3741825f1d MtxRun | skipping configuration for /texmf/web2c from /home/diego/luatex-cache/context/fcf214085bb2c4fcd9a0f9a9f0d0aecf/trees/3113242409ded67a0ad7bd508bd26609 MtxRun | using script: ./bin/mtx-update.luareport state: loaded report update: start ./bin/mtx-update.lua:181: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil) For some reasons, os.currentplatform() returns generic under FreeBSD (tested on 7.0), which is not defined in the platforms table and creates this error. The workaround is to pass the platform name to first-setup.sh: ./first-setup.sh --platform=freebsd But near the end of the installation process, MtxRun fails to execute the binaries because it tries to find them in tex/texmf-generic. At this stage, I have used the source command to setup the environment and executed texexec --make --all to finish up the installation. So good so far, it seems to work, but I have no idea what's happening there.

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?

Hello Dominique, can you please try if it works now? Diego commited the new luatex for FreeBSD.
