Hello,
Everytime there is a new TL releases, I download lualatex
and build it from source after increasing dest_names_size
to be able to build my large latex files. Otherwise they will
not compile as the hardcoded value is small.
Been doing this for years with no problem. The steps I do are described here
<https://12000.org/my_notes/faq/LATEX/html_and_latexchapter3.htm#x4-70003.1>
Now after TL 2025, I downloaded lualatex using same steps I always
do. But this time, for first time, I get compile error.
I went to https://gitlab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/texlive/luatex
and downloaded
wget
https://gitlab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/texlive/luatex/-/archive/master/luatex-master.zip
And extracted it, changed value of dest_names_size and did ./build.sh
And after sometime, I get an error
------------
../../../source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/unilib/ustring.c:423:11: error: too many
arguments to function ‘strtol’; expected 0, have 3

The full log file is here (showing all the output of build.sh)

I am on Linux,
cat /etc/os-release
NAME="EndeavourOS"
PRETTY_NAME="EndeavourOS"
ID="endeavouros"
ID_LIKE="arch"
Any idea why lualatex fails to compile this time?
Thanks
