[NTG-context] New upload doesn't work on macOS 10.13.6

[Ralf Heinrich Arning]

Hi list,

after having tried to update with the new upload, ConTEXt doesn't run anymore. 

According to the output the new version requires a more recent system. I still use macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra).

This is what I get:

=================
context TestCode.tex
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ____chkstk_darwin
  Referenced from: /Applications/TeX/context-osx-64/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/context (which was built for Mac OS X 12.7)

/bin/bash: line 4:  1579 Abort trap: 6           context TestCode.tex
===================

Trying to install again, I get:

====================
sh install.sh

  Referenced from: /Applications/TeX/context-osx-64/bin/mtxrun (which was built for Mac OS X 12.7)

======================


What can I do?

Do I have to reinstall an older version? How can I do this?

Desperately,

Ralf

We had some technical difficulties on our build farm, so Hans built
the binaries on a (too) recent macOS version.

A binary built on an older version can be found here:
    https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/main/x86_64-darwinlegacy/luametatex
but you would need to remove some flag first, else the security system
won't let you start it (I would have to check what command exactly
needs to be called; the installer does it automatically for you).
I think that "context" is just a copy of that same binary.

Maybe Hans can rebuild the binary installers using the above binary.

Hi Ralf

I keep TeX Live on my Mac. It’s a great fall-back when I have new version surprises with ConTeXt.

   tug.org/mactex/

TeX Live has a friendly installer. Updates are easy with TeX Live Utility. TeX Live has a version of ConTeXt from last May, and it’s quite a good version, in my opinion. (ConTeXt  ver: 2023.05.05 18:36 LMTX  fmt: 2023.12.18)

If you need any LaTeX stuff for some reason, it’s all there in TeX Live.

Gavin
