Hi Taco,
> This new release is available now.
I've just had the chance to test this new release and got mixed
results ... the 2008.05.21 minimal distribution (LuaTeX only) now sits
in
/usr/local/context/2008-05-21
and there's a symbolic link
/usr/texbin -> /usr/local/context/2008-05-21/texmf-osx-intel/bin
to the binaries. This link is given by the distribution switching
mechanism on the Mac (see my earlier post in this thread) and is
appended to $PATH, too. Furthermore, *no* TEXMFCNF environment
variable is set.
Now there's a problem of finding the texmf.cnf file:
---
$>/usr/texbin/luatools --generate --verbose
LuaTools | version 1.2.0 - 2006+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to /usr/texbin
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to /usr/texbin/..
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to /usr/texbin/../..
LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to {$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/
share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c}
LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 0.004 seconds
---
The problem persists when I call the binary directly:
---
$> /usr/local/context/2008-05-21/texmf-osx-intel/bin/luatools --
generate --verbose
LuaTools | version 1.2.0 - 2006+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to /usr/texbin
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to /usr/texbin/..
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to /usr/texbin/../..
LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to {$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/
share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c}
LuaTools | no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)
LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 0.007 seconds
---
Obviously, the problem is the symbolic link because LuaTeX tries and
finds argv[0] in $PATH but doesn't resolve /usr/texbin to its actual
location on disk. It's clear that in this situation there can't be any
difference between the distribution-independent syntax of calling
luatex and the direct invocation.
Do you think LuaTeX's path discovery mechanism could be adapted to
handle symbolic links?
All the best,
Oliver
