In the current instructions for Tex Live, we have --without-luatex. This is wrong, the current option is --disable-luatex. But I have a question: someone must have thought it was a good idea to disable luatex. Why ?
The binary installer includes luatex, and it appears to build fine from source. As with latex, some very simple examples I found work, others don't, but running lualatex on a "good" minimal example provides a displayable PDF. I was originally going to move the corrected --disable-luatex to an optional command, but at the moment I cannot see any reason why a user who is going to the trouble of building TeX from source would want to do that. Anybody like to offer a reason ? Attaching the simple example (from StackExchange), and the PDF, in case anyone wants an example. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce
