[NTG-context] setuptex files broken in the latest release 2009-11-24
Hi all, maybe more particularly Mojca, I noticed that in the latest release of the minimals (ConTeXt version 2009.11.24 10:13) something is broken: neither mkii nor mkiv work (actually this happened also with the release of Friday November 20, then it was solved with November 23 release and again it appeared today…). I could solve the problem by replacing the setuptex files coming with the latest release by those of ConTeXt version 2009.11.13 12:45: now I can typeset my files even with Math-Times and mkiv… (Working on a macBook Pro and Mac OS X 10.6.2). Has anyone else noticed this problem?

May I ask you to fetch the new version of first-setup.sh, run it and retry? You are on Snow Leopard. Yes, it's expected to break (sorry) because so many people have been complaining that they want 64-bit binaries (and I could have written a visible warning to the mailing list which I forgot to do). I hoped for the fact that the number of SL users is small enough, so that they would be willing to rerun first-setup and fetch the 64-bit binaries. I decided to patch to detect SL, then changed my mind, and then changed my mind again after Hans figured out that he's not able to boot with 64-bit kernel and requested to support 64-bit platforms automatically. If you would boot into 64-bit mode (try to boot by holding down keys 4 and 6), it would not work at all without replacing the version of first-setup.sh that you currently use. Sure, we should provide fat binaries, but ... two years ago I was still working on 56k connection during weekends (if anyone wants usb modem, let me know :). The distribution arose from my desire for not having to fetch Hans' one-line patches in 4MB zips several times per day. Fat binaries would mean some 60 MB of extra space (and I consider that a waste of resources).

Thanks Luigi for your attention.
Typesetting the following file
basic-test.tex
\starttext
This file has been typeset
on \currentdate{}
at \currenttime,
with
\doifmodeelse{mkiv}
{mkiv,
LuaTeX version \the\luatexversion,

{mkii,
using the command: \par
\type{texexec basic-test.tex}\par}
ConTeXt version \contextversion.
\stoptex
end basic-test.tex
before updating to 2009-11-24 release, I get a correct behaviour and the file
is typeset with a log having these lines:
……Setting //context-minimal/tex as TEXROOT instead.
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.44.0-2009103007
\write18 enabled.
……
After updating to today's release, I get an error message
……… /usr/texbin/context: Permission denied
………
However upon changing the setuptex files of the latest release and replacing
them with a previous version the typesetting works fine again with a log file
having these lines:
………This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.45.0-2009111904
\write18 enabled.
………
Looks like the new setuptex files behave differently, or has something changed
with first-setup.sh?
Thanks again: OK

Re: [NTG-context] setuptex files broken in the latest release 2009-11-24
Dear Mojca, I did what you suggest. Now, after updating first-setup.sh, the behaviour is different but neither mkii nor mkiv work… In my log file I obtain only ………MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' and no typesetting. However, as I said in my previous explanations, replacing the setuptex files (there are 4 of them…), I can use the latest release of 2009-11-24 10:13. So to my understanding everything boils down to an issue with the new setuptex files (I don't change anything regarding 32 or 64 bit mode). Many thanks again… Best regards: OK On 24 nov. 2009, at 15:50, Mojca Miklavec wrote: On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 15:31, Otared Kavian wrote: Hi all, maybe more particularly Mojca, I noticed that in the latest release of the minimals (ConTeXt version 2009.11.24 10:13) something is broken: neither mkii nor mkiv work (actually this happened also with the release of Friday November 20, then it was solved with November 23 release and again it appeared today…).
