LuaTeX on Mac OS X

LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Otared Kavian]

Dear Dalyoung,

Like many other ConTeXt users I followed up the many threads about  
how to install, successfully, LuaTeX.
In particular I was interested in your experience since I had more or  
less the same problems as the ones you described in your latest  
messages on the list.
Now my question is: did you succeed to install and use LuaTeX on Mac  
OS X?
	--- If yes, could you please describe how you did proceed?
	--- If no, this means we have to wait more for our salvation...

Thanks for your attention and best regards: OK

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear Otared,

Thank you for your mail.
Since there is no echo at all on this matter for a few days, I think  
that I am the only person who has the installation problem.

I tired in many ways. I repeated the installation process  three  
times from the scratch.
But I have no progress at all.

I made  ".luatex"(it is described by Thomas in ntg-context digest vol  
39, issue 30), and got the following result. there is a little  
difference. luatools tried to load texmf.cnf but face to an error soon.

dalyoung$ luatools --generate

As you see, the output of luatools --variables also gave the same  
output.

There may be something that is unknown to us in our system. For  
information, I use mac G5(OSX 10.4.10, PPC) and installed MacTeX 2007  
version.

That is all that I can say right now. If you have anything good,  
please let me know.

Thank you for your concern.

best regards,

Dalyoung

I have the same error message on my wndows machine but the setuptex
script solves this for me und LuaTeX is working.

OK, I have just summarized my own experience with luatex. Please  
comment; if this is helpful at all, we should put it on the wiki.

Thomas

Setting up luatex on OS X

The following remarks are not more than an amplification of what Hans  
writes in
magazin #12. However, since some users have had difficulties, here's  
a short
summary of the steps that I have followed on my system (OS X 10.4;  
system
language set to English; vanilla TeXLive installation) to work with  
luatex.

1. Get the latest ConTeXt version.

Download the latest cont-tmf.zip at
www.pragma-ade.com (either stable or beta). Unzip this file in a  
texmf-tree. It
is recommended that you do this in a local tree. This way, if you  
ever have
problems, you can just delete this local tree and continue working  
with the
stable tree that came with your distribution. If you don't know where  
your
local texmf tree is located, follow these directions (a line with #  
in front
means you should type the line following this # into your Terminal  
window;
press "Return" at the end of the line. Comments or explanations which  
should
not be retyped are included in <> brackets. Please be careful to retype
exactly, leaving all the quotes etc. in place!).

# kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMFLOCAL'

On my system, this expands to
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local

Now go to this directory

# cd /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local

download the file cont-tmf.zip to this directory and unzip it. On  
most systems,
you will need superuser rights to do this; after entering the sudo  
command, you
will be asked for your password.

# sudo unzip cont-tmf.zip
Password:
# <type your password, then RETURN>
Archive:  cont-tmf.zip
replace bibtex/bst/context/cont-ab.bst? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one,  
[r]ename:
# <type A> <then type RETURN>

After this, a long list of files will scroll by.

2. Regenerate the formats

While we're at it, we might as well regenerate the formats for pdftex- 
based
ConTeXT:

# sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex

You'll see the output on the Terminal; at the end, texexec should  
tell you that
it has regenerated all the formats.
TeXExec |
TeXExec | tex engine path: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c/ 
pdftex
TeXExec | mps engine path: /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c
TeXExec |
TeXExec | tex: 02/10/2007 17:50:43 > /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- 
config/web2c/pdftex/cont-en.fmt (7392414)
TeXExec | tex: 02/10/2007 17:50:57 > /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- 
config/web2c/pdftex/cont-nl.fmt (7473512)
TeXExec | tex: 02/10/2007 17:50:57 > /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- 
config/web2c/pdftex/mptopdf.fmt (277947)
TeXExec | mps: 02/10/2007 17:50:58 > /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- 
config/web2c/metafun.mem (482192)
TeXExec |
TeXExec | runtime: 7.575246

3. Set environment variables

In its current beta stadium, luatex needs some environment variables  
to be set;
this will probably change soon. In my experiments, on OS X, it needs  
these
four variables:

TEXMFCACHE: this decides where the luatex-cache directory will be  
created. If
you set this variable to a temporary directory such as /tmp, it will  
be deleted
at every reboot. This is a good idea since luatex caches lots of  
files and
paths in this directory, so it makes sense to refresh this directory  
often.

TEXMFCNF: This should point to the directory where the file texmf.cnf  
which
your TeX installation uses is located. In order to find out where  
this is, run
this command:

#kpsewhich texmf.cnf

On my system, this points to
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
so we need to set TEXMFCNF to /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c.

TEXMF
This should list ALL texmf trees which your TeX installation uses. In  
order to
know what these trees are, run this command:

# kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMF'

The output of this command on my system is:

{/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf- 
var,/Users/tas/texmf,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,!!/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,!!/usr/ 
local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- 
dist,!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf.gwtex}

In this form, the list contains a few shortcuts and symbols which are  
special
to kpsewhich. Remove all the exclamation marks; if there are other  
shortcuts in
your output, bring it into a flat list of Unix directories.

LUAINPUTS

These are the directories where the lua scripts are located, they are  
on my
system:

{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/usr/local/texlive/ 
texmf-local/scripts/context/lua,/Users/tas/texmf/scripts/context/lua}

Since these variables will have to be set every time you run luaTeX,  
it makes
sense to automate the process. So we collect all the definitions like  
so (these
are the values on my system; adapt to your setup!):

export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
export TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c"
export TEXMF="{/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/ 
tas/.texlive2007/texmf-var,/Users/tas/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/ 
texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/ 
2007/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2007/ 
texmf-dist,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf.gwtex}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/ 
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua,/Users/tas/texmf/ 
scripts/context/lua}"

There are two ways you can set these variables easily:

a. put them in a file; let's call this file .luatex. Every time you  
want to run
luatex, just say

# source .luatex

in your terminal.

b. If you want these variables to be set every time you log into your  
computer,
put them in a file .bashrc in your home directory (this only works if  
your
shell is bash, the default shell in OS X 10.4 and 10.3. If you have  
never
tinkered with the shell, it probably is).

Let's test if setting the variables has worked:

# echo $TEXMF

the output on my system is:

{/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf-config,/Users/tas/.texlive2007/texmf- 
var,/Users/tas/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config,/usr/local/ 
texlive/2007/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf,/usr/local/ 
texlive/texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist,/usr/local/ 
texlive/2007/texmf.gwtex}

4. Installing the binaries.

We now have to install and tweak the necessary binaries. First, of  
course,
luatex itself. We put it in the same directory with all the other TeX  
binaries.
To determine where that is, we issue

# which pdftex

/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/pdftex

So we get the latest luatex from www.luatex.org and copy it to this  
directory.
We also create two links to luatex:

# cd /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/pdftex
# sudo ln -s luatex texlua
# sudo ln -s luatex texluac

There are two more lua scripts which need to be installed.  
Unfortunately, Hans
uses a different operating system, so we need to make them executable  
first. Go
to the directory where you installed your ConTeXt update, so in my case:

# cd /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/
# sudo chmod 755 mtxrun.lua
# sudo chmod 755 luatools.lua

After that, we create symbolic links to these programs in the  
directory where
we installed luatex:
# cd /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/pdftex
# sudo ln -s /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/ 
luatools.lua luatools
# sudo ln -s /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/ 
mtxrun.lua mtxrun

Again, let's test if this has worked:
# rehash
# which luatools
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/luatools

5. Generating the Database and the formats

You're almost there! Now let luatools generate its internal database:
# luatools --generate

Again, a long list of stuff will scroll by (if luatools gives just a  
fewlines
of output, you know that you've made a mistake somewhere along the  
way). Here's
the beginning and end on my system:

LuaTools | loading /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
LuaTools | preparing configuration in /tmp/luatex-cache/context/ 
6da32d2ec193ac6d2428d020ce069374/trees/

LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 9.74 seconds

We test if luatex is able to find files:

# luatools cont-new.tex
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex

Then, we generate the formats for luatex:

luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en

Again, many lines of output, among those the confirmation that the  
formats have
been built and installed:

LuaTools | creating initialization file cont-en
LuaTools | using library path : /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/ 
context/base
LuaTools | using lua libraries: l-string.lua l-table.lua l-

LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua="cont-en.luc" "/usr/

This is luaTeX, Version 3.141592-beta-0.11.2-2007091918 (Web2C 7.5.6)  
(INITEX)

[snip]

  )
Beginning to dump on file cont-en.fmt
  (format=cont-en 2007.10.2)

And that's it! Now you can create your first test file and typeset it  
with
luatex:

texmfstart texexec --luatex test.tex

Re: LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Otared Kavian]

Dear Thomas, dear Dalyoung, dear all,

Thank you so much for the detailed procedure you sent about  
installing LuaTeX on MacOS X.
I could follow your instructions up to some point, but I must confess  
that I ended up into some confusion when you say

> After that, we create symbolic links to these programs in the
> directory where
> we installed luatex:
> # cd /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/i386-darwin/pdftex
> # sudo ln -s /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/
> luatools.lua luatools
> # sudo ln -s /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/
> mtxrun.lua mtxrun

Indeed the binary paths I have for my TeX programs are

/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/
/usr/texbin

of which the first one contains the directory

/usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0

However, in this directory I only have a file "pdftex" which is not a  
directory, and therefore the command

cd /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/pdftex/

results in:

bash: cd: /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0/pdftex/: Not  
a directory

(By the way the command "rehash" you mention in your instructions  
does not exist, so I had to use
sudo texhash
instead. Also, in order to "export" the environment variables as you  
mention in your instructions, I had to switch to "bash", the "Bourne  
Again Shell". However these are not the main issues).

So it seems that the procedures for installing LuaTeX are not yet  
thouroughly straightforward, and persons like Dalyoung and me have to  
wait a little bit...

Once again thanks for your patience and help though!

Best regards: OK

Sorry, that was a typo! So in your case, that should be

cd /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0

Btw, "rehash" is not the same as "texhash": in some shells (I use  
zsh, the best shell in the world), you run this command when you add  
a new binary to your path.

I have never been stubborn enough in order to try to make luatex work
over the existing gwTeX, so I have been always using Hans's minimals
(you need to download justtex.zip and macosxtex.zip, unzip them and
run ". setuptex").

If you only want to play with luaTeX, here's something experimental
that you can test if you have rsync (no warranty that the structure
will remain the same):

    rsync -rvzctl rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/minimals/mac-ppc/ mytex
    cd mytex
    . setuptex
    mktexlsr
    luatools --generate
    texexec --lua --make --all
    texexec --make --all

and then you should be able to compile your document with
    texexec --lua something
(as long as you stay in the same terminal)

Re: LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Otared Kavian]

Dear Joeng, dear Thomas,

Thank you so much for your message and your invaluable help.
Indeed thanks to Thomas' instructions, after correcting a few  
details, I could install LuaTeX and typeset the file test-1.tex with  
the command

	texexec --lua test-1.tex

However, the execution stops with this error message:

	<everyjob> \the \everyloadluacode
    	                               \the \everyfinalizeluacode \the  
\everyjob

but after ignoring such messages with the command

	r

(meaning "run" without complaining...) I get the expected PDF file.

Since this is not yet a clean and thoroughly working installation, I  
have not yet tried to put the install informations on the Wiki. Later  
next week I'll try to re-install everything anew and see whether I  
have well understood what is needed to run LuaTeX on MacOS X.

Best regards: OK

Re: LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear Hans,

Thank you for the reply.

Here is the codes of luatools.lua from line number 1106 -

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
1106: if md5 then do

1107:    local function convert(str,fmt)
1108:        return (string.gsub(md5.sum(str),".",function(chr)  
return string.format(fmt,string.byte(chr)) end))
1109:   end

     if not md5.HEX then function md5.HEX(str) return convert(str,"% 
02X") end end
     if not md5.hex then function md5.hex(str) return convert(str,"% 
02x") end end
     if not md5.dec then function md5.dec(str) return convert(stt,"% 
03i") end end

end end

%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Since most people didn't have the problem in installation. it  
reminded me a problem when I installed the XeTeX a long time ago.  
After installed files of XeTeX, I tried to make a format, but I  
couldn't succeed. I reported the error message to XeTeX mailing list,  
but every one had no problem to install and to make a format. They  
said that it was good in their system.
Finally Jonathan found that it was related with my OSX(OSX korean  
version) even though I put english at the top priority in the  
preference panel.
He installed korean in his system to locate the problem and removed  
the problems.

Is this problem related with my OSX?

I hope that the line 1108 gives you a clue of my problem.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

I don't really know Lua, but "stt" looks like an error (maybe  
Dalyoung's?),
and if Lua makes a difference between unicode and byte strings,
the usage of "str" would explain problems with Korean directory names  
or the like.

whow, pretty good close reading, should be str indeed!

this also points into the direction of a missing md5 lib; is texlua used?

how do your paths look like? do they contain non ascii chars?

Re: LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Jeong Dalyoung]

Dear Hans,

Thank you for your concern.

There is no non-ascii character in folder names except ~/Documents/.

And the TeX directory is

/usr/local/texlive/{2007, texmf-local}/...

By the way, where is setuptex command which can be used in Mac? I  
tried before as in the wiki, but it couldn't find such a command.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Do you have this in an environment variable including the space?
If so, I would advice trying the same without space, just in case.

Best wishes,
Taco

Re: LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Dalyoung Jeong]

Dear Thomas, Mojca, and Otared,

Thank you for the instructions. I think that I followed the  
instructions of installation without problems. But I have a problem  
running luatools.

A few week ago, I succeeded running luatools --generate, but not  
luatools --ini --... after making .luatex containg variables like  
TEXMF, TEXMFCNF, etc.

I removed gwTeX and reinstalled MacTeX, I did the same steps of  
installation and I got the errors. At this time, even "luatools -- 
generate" didn't run correctly. It is ooking for the wrong folder.

I tried "setuptex"(copy setuptex to the binary, and chmod 755 to  
run), but it asked me to "provide a proper tex directory like / 
something/tex"

It seems to me that luatools are not able to get the texlive home  
dirextory.
I may try once more using another mac because sometime it behaved  
differently.

Thank you for your concern.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Because it's hardcoded in setuptex that one needs to have some files
at fixed locations. You can modify setuptex a bit according to your
needs (remove those explicit checks).

Re: LuaTeX on Mac OS X

[Jeong Dalyoung]

Dear Thomas, Hans, and all

I am sorry to give another noise to you. I did install luatex once  
more and I'd like to report the results.

I removed TeX completely and reinstalled gwTeX again.
After that I followed the instructions given by Thomas. I made  
".luatex" for the variables which contains the following lines:

export TEXMFCACHE="/tmp"
export TEXMFCNF="/usr/local/gwTeX"
export TEXMF="{/Users/dalyoung/Library/texmf,/usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.local,/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs,/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.gwtex,/ 
usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive,/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf}"
export LUAINPUTS="{/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base,/usr/ 
local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/scripts/context/lua}"

After running "source .luatex", "luatools --generate" worked well.
I tried to run "luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en", but  
there are several error occurred.

1. ...
loading : Context Language Macros / Initialization
(/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/lang-ini.mkiv
! LuaTeX error ...local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/tex/context/base/lang- 
ini.lua:9: attempt to index global 'lang' (a nil value).
\ctxluabytecode ...ode " .. "#1" .. str) end end }

\registerctxluafile ...{\the \luabytecodecounter }
                                                   \fi \fi
l.16 \registerctxluafile{lang-ini}{1.001}

According to those lines, I assume that it is related with the  
languages. But I really do not know both causes and cures.

Thank you so much for all the helps you gave.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

A simple search in the archives would have brought up this thread  
from yesterday:

http://archive.contextgarden.net/thread/20071005.055839.1a3f8676.en.html

which describes exactly your problem.

Dear Thomas,

I didn't recognize that there was an answer for the problem already.
It is a good news. I am almost close.

Thank you again.
