Luametatex is still built against zint 2.10, which is on the binary level incompatible with 2.11, so you should try 2.10 in the meantime. Ultimately there are three possibilities for the long run: 1) Everyone sticks with 2.10 (which may be problematic since binaries for this "old" version may gradually cease to be available). 2) Hans updates luametatex to zint 2.11, which would mean that a lot of people would need to update their zint installations now (and possibly in the future for every update). This is what was done last time with the update to 2.10. 3) luametatex gains compatibility with 2.10 *and* 2.11. Not sure what is the best way to proceed, since 3) is the messiest implementation wise, but nicest for the users. Michal Vlasák PS: Previously I also suggested option 4: The optional libraries for selected platforms would be built on the context garden and available for download (perhaps incorporated into the not yet existing module manager?). Building the some of the small libraries is easy, but for the advanced ones one would have to also build transitive dependencies and this gets out of hand quickly with e.g. curl (and in this case the returns are diminishing - curl AFAIK is so stable, that such breakage like with zint shouldn't ever happen). For what it's worth, this is my repository which allows building some of the simple libs on Linux (with the possibility to cross compile to Windows). It will probably also work on Mac. The versions of the libraries are pinned e.g. zint is locked to 2.10, so at least that should work, but I didn't follow closely updates to others in luametatex. https://github.com/vlasakm/context-optional-libraries ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
