Re: LuaTeX beta-0.60.0 on Mac OS X Tiger (was: Latest beta...)

[Willi Egger <w.egger@boede.nl>]

Hi,

sorry for my slow responding rate.

I just compiled luatex 0.60.0 native on Tiger 10.11. - After  
installing and updating it looks like that it works!.
i send the binary to Mojca offline.

Kind regards

Willi
