Subject: luatex on debian
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:10:46 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <22af238a0710120810i2784e502meef92f4f7aee9a9f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
debian (unstable,testing?) users can get a snapshot release of luatex in
apt package form.
This works for me, but there are a few things that needed slight adjustment, so
I wanted to report them here to encourage others to start testing it.
I needed to set TEXMF=/etc/texmf. Luatools doesn't seem to handle the {..}
in the variables that are combined in TEXMF. Also, when it didn't find
AlProTex.sty, the message indicated that it couldn't find AlProTeX.sty
('x'-->'X')!
For testing, you can just set some simplified TEXMF, e.g.,:
export TEXMF={$HOME/texmf,/usr/local/texmf,/usr/share/texmf-texlive,/usr/share/texmf}
or you can edit /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf to simplify things like:
TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-{texlive,tetex}
In my case, I no longer have texmf-textex, so this became just
TEXMFDIST = /usr/share/texmf-texlive
Then run: "update-texmf" and "luatools --generate"
You can check the TEXMF variable with:
$ luatools --expand-var TEXMF
More tests to make sure the configuration is working:
$ luatools msam7.afm
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/bluesky/ams/msam7.afm
Then build the format:
$ luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en
and compile something:
$ texexec --luatex foo
TeXExec | processing document 'foo'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file foo.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 967
TeXExec | tex engine: luatex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en
This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.11.2-2007092410 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(./foo.tex
