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:
gour@gaura-nitai ~/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:
gour@gaura-nitai ~/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 152
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
the file 'luatools' is not found
TeXExec | runtime: 0.257507
gour@gaura-nitai ~/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

Your problem is quite generic. 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. See this page about installing MarkIV:

Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks. Now it'c clear.

Mojca (thank you) sent me the following url:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/36830
which adds some, imho, more details about env. variables which
need to be set up and, thanks to that, I was able to typesert test
doc by updating ConTeXt in my texlive's 'texmf-local' tree and
by building luatex from source on x86_64 (Arch Linux).
Maybe, the above wiki article can be updated with the info from
mailing list's post?
In any case, we're now free to start exploring ConTeXt/luatex :-)
Sincerely,
Gour
