Re: New build problems

["Mojca Miklavec" <mojca.miklavec.lists@gmail.com>]

Hello Vyatcheslav,

First: thanks a lot for your patience and for testing.

Just to explain it: Hans is only indirectly involved in this, so if
anyone is to be blamed for non-functionality, that's me or Arthur (who
will probably deny everything :-) on the first place. Hans is only
responsible for those parts which are already working :)

Last time when it failed to work in a similar manner on windows, it
has been a problem with rsync (some builds simply fail to work
properly) and I kept getting errors related to some knd of
permissions. (read as: when I downloaded the binaries with rsync under
mac and saved them on a shared partition, they worked OK on windows,
but they didn't work when I downloaded them with rsync on windows).

The most weird thing is that it already worked on your computer, and
it kind-of-works on mine, and I don't remember doing anything except
changing folder names (perhaps I missed some details inbetween), so I
have absolutely no idea where things could go wrong. What if you
change directory names manually (after downloading) back to the
original ones?

LUAINPUTS is set in texmf.cnf already, so you don't need any
environmental variable.

You don't need to include texmf-context\scripts\context\lua in PATH.
In any case, that folder is the true source. texmf-win\bin is composed
of:
- texmfstart.exe
- different standard binaries (pdfTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX, metapost, ...)
- .bat/.cmd files
- lua files (Hans said they're needed, so I copied them there from
\scripts\context\lua)
