[NTG-context] FreeBSD 13.2

[NTG-context] FreeBSD 13.2

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I've been away from ConTeXt for some time but now I want to install it
on my FreeBSD 13.2 system(s) (I have not switched any machines to 14.0
yet).  After unpacking, running the install scripts results in:

ld-elf.so.1: /home/rmason/Software/Context/bin/mtxrun: Undefined symbol
"__libc_start1@FBSD_1.7"

I assume this is because mtxrun is compiled for FreeBSD 14.0.  Thus, I
need (I think) to compile it for 13.2.  Are there instructions somewhere
on how to do this?

If I get a working installation I'm happy to contribute the FreeBSD 13.2
binaries back to the project, if someone will tell me how.

Thanks,
Roger

Yes, we need to document it in the wiki…
But it’s easy:
cd into your tex/texmf-context/source/luametatex
and run build.sh
then copy the "luametatex" binary from build/native
into tex/texmf-<your platform>/bin/

There were some troubles with our infrastructure which led Hans to
build the binaries himself without paying extra attention to
compatibility with older systems.

You can find the binaries here:
    https://build.contextgarden.net/dl/luametatex/

but I hope that Hans will rebuild the installer in order to make the
older systems functional again.

Other than that, building luametatex is relatively straightforward with CMake.
The sources can be found either inside ConTeXt or separately inside
    https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex

Can freebsd 14 work with older bins?

The previosu method of these hard coded version numbers was a pain as i 
have to adapt different scripts and the websit to newer versions so and 
i don't want that.

(We could put more bins in the installer for a platform and then let the 
install.sh choose what bins to fetch but even then the question is how 
far do we go back in time.)

We could add a flag to the installer thaqt doesn't update the binaries 
but intead (advices) to build the bins but it assumes Cmake and gcc to 
be installed (we could cheat and use an existing cmake made make file).

Yes, definitely.

You  might be mixing up FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

FreeBSD is (fully) compatible, OpenBSD is totally incompatible.

(I'm even a bit surprised that binaries compiled on 14 don't work on
13, but well ...)

Yes please! A platform-independent download would be great.

However, we should not assume gcc: it could be clang.

FWIW clang is now the default on FreeBSD.

I see that the build does not provide the mtxrun binary that the
installer uses.  Does that mean I dont need mtxrun?

Do I need mtxrun?  If so, where are the sources and how do I build it?

Yes, you need it, but it’s just an alias to luametatex:

The mtxrun in ~/context/bin is only used during installation.

What else do I need in ~/context/tex?  Currently I have

I guess you’re lacking the main distribution package.

OK, I unpacked the main distribution in context/tex, set PATH and ran

mtxrun --generate

which output:

Looks like the unset TEXMF and TEXMFCNF envars are a problem.   What

Usually, you don’t need to set any variables.
The default configuration file is also fine.

Does "context --version" work?

Thanks to all who have helped, but I think it is time to give up on
context.  I know that context is updated often and I do not relish the
prospect of going though all this for every update.

Thanks again & best wishes,
Roger

Please do not go to this trouble on my account.  I have decided to give
up on context.

Best wishes,

Many thanks, I will give it a try in the next day or so and respond to
the list.

Rather belatedly, I tested this a few moments ago: it works flawlessly.

Many, many thanks.
