context minimals on OpenSolaris 2008.11

context minimals on OpenSolaris 2008.11

["Michael Krauß"]

Hello list members and ConTeXt gods,

this question is more technical than TeXnical but none the less ConTeXt releated. Today I am investigating if I can replace linux with OpenSolaris, so I am testing every, even exotic, software that I use on my linux box on OpenSolaris.

Looking into first-setup.sh there seem to be support for Solaris on Intel hardware called "sunos-intel". But if I try to install ConTeXt it doesn't work:

mickraus@gandalf:~/context$ ./first-setup.sh 
/usr/bin/rsync
/usr/bin/ruby
receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/setup/sunos-intel/bin" (in minimals) failed: No such file or directory (2)
done

sent 4 bytes  received 9 bytes  26.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1385) [receiver=2.6.9]
./first-setup.sh: line 68: mtxrun: not found


Next I tried to build the binaries myself by checking out the sources from Subversion:

svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries


And running ./build-binaries.sh afterwards. But this doesn't work either:

mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ ./build-binaries.sh

There are three executables named ctangle in the minimals directory:
mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ find . -name ctangle
./src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
./src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/ctangle
./src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/ctangle


How should I proceed from here? What is the status of Solaris support for context minimals?


Kind regards,
Michael Krauss

You need ctangle in your path.
Install texlive or tetex.

Done. Installed texlive by the net installer and set PATH:

mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ which ctangle
/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris/ctangle
mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ echo $PATH
/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris/:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

But I am still getting the same error message:

./ctangle ctangle 
make: ./ctangle: Command not found
make: *** [ctangle.c] Error 127

To me make rather tries to start a local version of ctangle (>>./<<ctangle) than to start the one in PATH.

Do you mean adding the dot in front of the PATH? I did so 

mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ echo $PATH
.:/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris/:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

but unfortunately nothing has changed.

Well, Hans wanted to try it out, but gave up too soon because of some
compilation problems. I didn't remove the few lines that I added, but
there are no binaries available either. If you are willing to compile
them (or rather keep compiling them every now to keep dependencies
satisfied), we can finish adding support for open solaris.

Sure. We have no binaries at the moment.

If I'm not mistaken then pdftex, xetex and luatex have been compiled
without problems?
The process would probably not run out of the box before a new svn
repository gets created and you would need an account in order to be
able to commit anyway, but you can check if files like:
- src/current/pdftex/build/texk/web2c/pdftex
- src/current/xetex/Work/texk/web2c/xetex
- src/current/luatex/build/texk/web2c/luatex
exist.

Taco has been modifying the make scripts some time ago. I would ask
him. I did have some problems to build binaries on contextgarden, but
I thought that these problems have been solved. In general adding any
ctangle to build path should help (at the time when you build metapost
it doesn't see the ctangle binary of pdftex/xetex/luatex), but maybe
there was a tiny overlook somewhere. Taco has ctangle all over on his
machine, so he would not notice if that was a problem.

> How should I proceed from here? What is the status of Solaris support for context minimals?

None exists, but we can add it if one (you?) promisses to run the
building script every now and then.

Until now I am just evaluating OpenSolaris as a Linux replacement. 10 Years of fun with a constantly morphing kernel are enough. There are two issues left: One is Context and the other is OCaml. The mainstream software is running just fine.

Not really:

make: ./ctangle: Command not found
make: *** [ctangle.c] Error 127
cp: cannot stat `build/texk/web2c/mpdir/mpost': No such file or directory
Reverted 'VERSIONS'

Yes, this program was compiled and I can run it (missing texmf.cnf aside).

Those two files don't exist. There are a bunch of source files in this web2c directories but not the searched executables.

I will try to figure out in what directory gmake is getting the "command not found" error and place a copy of ctangle there.

  As has already been said, you need a working TeX installation in order
to compile new binaries.  Try TeX Live 2008, which has a i386-solaris
binary distribution.

Yes I know. I installed it a few hours ago and included the directory containing the binaries into PATH:

mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ echo $PATH
/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

mickraus@gandalf:~/context/build-binaries$ which pdflatex
/export/home/mickraus/texlive/bin/i386-solaris/pdflatex

mickraus@gandalf:~/texlive$ find . -name ctangle
./bin/i386-solaris/ctangle


But now I am going to bed. I will work through Mojcas post tomorrow.


Good Night,

Hello,

just to let the others know ... minimals should now work on both
Solaris Intel & Sparc (thanks to Michael Krauß, Apostolos & Vladimir
Volovich).
