options for luatex

options for luatex

[Marius]

Hello,

how do I pass an option for luatex?

I need something like this:

context --nonstopmode --file-line-error --halt-on-error
--output-directory=tmp file.tex

Thanks,
Marius

Here is a patch. I can now pass whatever I want for luatex. But looks
like luatex ignores: --file-line-error, --halt-on-error and
--output-directory=tmp options. Is this by intention or just a missing
functionality?

Your patch overrides the default behavour of --luatex. Also, it will look 
funny if I use context (the wrapper script) with pdftex engine:

    context --pdftex --luatex=--file-line-error ....

Texexec uses the option --passon for passing on options to the engine. 
Maybe that is a better keyword than --luatex.

No idea.

Possibly because context's lua startup file either overrules or ignores
these settings. Luatex's start up sequence is a quite a lot different
from pdftex's, see the luatex reference manual for details.

Best wishes,
