luatex not compiling

luatex not compiling

[Hans van der Meer]

There appears to be a problem with the compilation of luatex on MacOSX  
10.5.x, but I might have found (at least one of) the cause.
On my system (MacOSX10.5.1) complation halted with:
luatexextra.c:408 error: storage size of 'sigstk' isn't known.
Further exploring showed the cause of this: SIGSTKSZ is not defined.
As it turns out SIGSTKSZ is defined in signal.h and in luatexextra.c  
read with
#include <signal.h>, assuming signal.h resides in /usr/include/signal.h.
That however, is not the case on this version of MacOSX: it sits in / 
usr/include/sys/signal.h.
Probably changing the code into:
#include <signal.h>
#ifndef _SIGNAL_H_
#include <sys/signal.h>
#endif
might help, but I have not tested this (some of the pie should be left  
for Taco c.s. ;-)

Just curious: What does the man page of signal.h say how to include
it on OSX? On linux it's <signal.h> ...

Should'nt this discssion go to the dev-luatex list? :-)

But did not CC the list himself. :-)

This:   http://www.hmug.org/man/2/sigaltstack.php

looks like a Mac OS X manual page. However, Thomas reported that
using stack_t (as the man page says) did not actually help either.

I do not have a recent Macintosh, so I can not test this. If this
issue can not be resolved, I will simply remove the signal trapping
code in the next beta.

Best wishes,
Taco

I think no, at least not now.
Luatex is actually very 'tangled' with context mkiv and context users .

Will you please elaborate? I'm not quite sure what you guys are talking
about, but <signal.h> (/usr/include/signal.h) in current Mac OS X (10.5,
10.4 at least) already included <sys/signal.h>.

Re: luatex not compiling

[Hans van der Meer]

I looked somewhat further and found out the curious fact that on  
MacOSX 10.5.x both /usr/include/signal.h and /usr/include/sys/signal.h  
exist!
The first one does not include the second one, neither does one of the  
includes:
#ifndef _USER_SIGNAL_H
#define _USER_SIGNAL_H
#include <sys/cdefs.h>
#include <_types.h>

As for changing the discussion to the luatex developer list as  
suggested by some: my capacity for subscribing list is limited --  
capacity in the sense of what I can manage.
Putting my observations on the compiler problem with luatex on this  
list was purely to help others. I hope one will permit me to keep  
doing so.

That is normal, signals have a portable interface, as defined in
ISO C99. That is the interface provided in /usr/include/signal.h.

It is also possible to have a system-dependant interface, and that
is in /usr/include/sys/signal.h. On linux, this is a stub that
simply includes /usr/include/signal.h.

So the question is: does /usr/include/sys/signal.h include something
important on Mac OS X 10.5 that it didn't in previous versions, or
is something else changed?

The only macbook I have runs 10.2, so I have no way of testing any
of this myself.

Best wishes,
Taco

Perhaps not any more in 10.5? Something changed from 10.4 to 10.5 that
broke luatex's build process. Just the building though, pre-compiled
binaries work fine. What exactly has changed is a mystery so far.

Taco

You're right, I think it has been changed in 10.5, the following text
is copied from sigaltstack(2) in 10.5:

     LEGACY SYNOPSIS
          #include <sys/types.h>
          #include <signal.h>

          The include file <sys/types.h> is necessary.

          struct sigaltstack {
                  char   *ss_sp;
                  int     ss_size;
                  int     ss_flags;
          };

          int
          sigaltstack(const struct sigaltstack *ss,
                      struct sigaltstack *oss);

          The variable types have changed.  Specifically, the
          sigaltstack struct is no longer used.

     COMPATIBILITY
          Use of the (obsolete) sigaltstack struct will cause
          compiler diagnostics.  Use stack_t, defined in
          <signal.h>.

I just checked out the latest luatex source from svn, with
the following patch, luatex builds fine on 10.5:

I spent 30 minutes installing 10.5 and after ten minutes decided to  
return to 10.4 (which took me a few hours).
Nothing worked anymore, neither X, nor Classic. And to install Time  
Machine I needed twice the hard disk I had...

Now I'm desperately trying to install SheepShaver so that I'll still  
be able to run my Classic application (FontStudio!)
when I finally switch to 10.5... Anhyone has tried it?

Re: [Dev-luatex] luatex not compiling

[Otared Kavian]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3409 bytes --]

Hi Yannis,

I had recently a new MacBook Pro (my good old PowerBook was stolen…)  
and so I installed MacOS X 10.5 on my Intel based MacBook.
I confirm that I cannot run LuaTeX (actually I never could run  
anything other than very simple ConTeXt mkii files with luatex…).
Following up the discussions on LuaTeX it seems that Hans van der Meer  
pointed out an issue with SIGSTKSZ, Taco added a fix and some people  
have succeded to compile luatex mkiv on MacOS X 10.5.1., but I haven't  
tried since all this is above my understanding.

I did install SheepShaver to run MacOS 9.0.1 or 9.0.2: I can run this  
on my Intel based MacBook, but I cannot do anything with it, because I  
cannot install into the disk image created for SheepShaver any MacOS 9  
software I have…

If you need any further information on the issue, I can send you off  
list the steps taken for an install of SheepShaver.

Best regards and my best wishes for everyone: OK
