Hans,
would it be possible that a 32bit ConTeXt Suite can be used with a 64bit
architecture in Linux?
Sorry, but yesterday I was surprised to see that setuptex isn’t able to
find any binaries in Linux if they are 32bit and the processor is 64bit.
Of course, it makes sense in that case that a ConTeXt Suite with 64bit
binaries is preferred. But as a fallback, 32bit binaries should be fine.
It should work in principle. Just set "platform=linux" before calling
mtx-update.lua and disable '--make'. (You could in principle also call
rsync manually.) And then all you need to do is set the PATH to
binaries.
The problem is that unless something changed, mtxrun will most likely
be causing you some troubles and will insist in fetching x86_64 (I'm
not sure how to completely avoid that).
maybe putting 32 bit bins in the 64 bit directory works ..
