Thanks Martin

I’ll need some more hand holding.

I can find https://github.com/lualatex which gives many variations that I 
cannot make sense of, and https://gitlab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/texlive/luatex which 
looks like it has a definitive install, but it is not github.

Is it one of these?

Hi Bruce,

 

you need

- a recent development snapshot from github

- to specify the full path to luatex.exe, like pdftex-path "C:/Program 
files/Therion/bin/windows/luatex.exe"

I’ve edited C:\Program Files\Therion\therion.ini to include… pdftex-path  
"luatex"

 

I’m missing something:

Running my thconfig with Mapiah, I get a log file that ends with…

 

making map ... done

'luatex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program 
or batch file.

C:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: error --Press ENTER to exit! pdftex exit 
code – 1

 

Running my thconfig with XTherion, there is no mention of Luatex.  I get a log 
file that ends with…

 

##################### end of pdftex log file #####################

C:\Program Files\Therion\therion.exe: error -- pdftex exit code -- 1

writing xtherion file ... done

 

I checked my %APPDATA%\ folders, and the only Therion related ini in there is 
Loch.ini

Any ideas?

Bruce
