Struggling with luatools and MacTeX

Struggling with luatools and MacTeX

[Jin-Hwan Cho]

For the first step to luatex, I tried to use luatools as written in  
Hans Hagen's MK manual.

1. Compiled a recent luatex and it was put in "/usr/texbin/luatex" and  
linked to "/usr/texbin/texlua".

2. Downloaded the current beta and construct my "$HOME/share/texmf- 
context".
    Of course, the line in /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/ 
texmf.cnf was changed as follows.

TEXMFHOME=$HOME/share/texmf-hyperref;$HOME/share/texmf-lm;$HOME/share/ 
texmf-context

3. Made a new "/usr/texbin/luatools" to use luatools.lua directly. The  
contents of the file was

#!/bin/sh
export SELFAUTOLOC=/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin
export SELFAUTODIR=/usr/local/texlive/2007
export SELFAUTOPARENT=/usr/local/texlive/2007
export TEXMFCACHE="$HOME/share"
texlua "$HOME/share/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua" "$@"

4. Finally tried "luatools --generate" and it seemed that everything  
went smoothly.
    But I found that luatools did not cache the $TEXMFHOME directories  
because
    it consisted of more than one TEXMF directories. It's not a bug  
but here is a patch
    to solve this problem.

--- luatools.lua	2008-05-26 07:36:20.000000000 +0900
+++ luatools.lua.new	2008-05-26 07:59:17.000000000 +0900

          return { }

$","%1"),",")) do
+        for _,v in ipairs(string.splitchr(str:gsub("^\{(.+)\}

              t[#t+1] = (v:gsub("^[%!]*(.+)[%/\\]*$","%1"))
          end
          return t

5. Now tried "luatools cmr10.tfm" but no anwer. However "luatools  
cmr10.tfm*" showed
    the proper answer. It seems that this problem is related to the  
behavior of
    "luatools --ini plain" which says "LuaTools | no tex file with  
name plain.tex".

Is there something what I missed?

Best regards, ChoF.

actually the solution to that is the following patch ... the simplified 
expansion dates from the stepwise construction of this module

function input.locatelists()
     local instance = input.instance
     for _, path in pairs(input.expanded_path_list('TEXMF')) do
         path = file.collapse_path(input.clean_path(path))
         input.report("locating list of",path)
         input.locatedatabase(input.normalize_name(path))
     end
end

you really need the latest bets (just uploaded); there has been some 
cleanup (esp instances)

luatools --generate worked well with the last beta. Thanks.

Still luatools cmr10.tfm does not work. But luatools cmr10.tfm* works.
Is it intended?

Best, ChoF.

luatools cmr10.tfm works for me (linux). It could be a Mac thing
(\r vs \n) but I have no idea how to test that.

Best wishes,
Taco

I checked the function input.aux.find_file() in luatools.lua.

In the 4309th line (for _, path in pairs(pathlist) do) the variable  
"path" was

!!/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist

when "path" indicates the texmf tree having cmr10.tfm.

Here, it did not end with "//" so that the variable recurse became  
"false".
After I changed the value of "recurse" explicitly to "true", I could  
get the
right result.

Do you know exact reason?

Best regards, ChoF.

In my case, the variable "path" shows the name of the directories
written in $TEXMF of texmf.cnf. Of course, every path does not end
with "//". But everyone thinks that file must be searched recursively
for these directories.

In my opinion, the following line is non-sense.

if path:find("//$") then recurse = true  else recurse = false end

After giving "recurse = true" explicitly, everything works fine for me.

Best. ChoF.

well, the !! as well as // are kind of standard web2c / tds / whatever

Finally I found what caused the problem just for me. My "texmf.cnf" had
the following line:

TEXMFHOME=$HOME/share/texmf-hyperref;$HOME/share/texmf-context

After replacing the character ";" to "," I had no problem.

Thanks again, ChoF.
