Binaries can now be built from 

 svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries

It might take some time to propagate the changes and auto-update this page :)

[edit] Binary sources

We take binaries from the following sources:

[edit] MetaPost

mplib/tags/beta-XXX

[edit] pdfTeX

branches/stable/source

[edit] luaTeX

tags/beta-XXX

[edit] XeTeX

trunk

[edit] TeX Live 2008

[edit] rsync

Rsync on Windows behaves a bit weird. We fetched binaries from

One needs to set 

set CYGWIN=noNTsec

before syncing binaries or 

chmod 777 tex/texmf-win/bin/*

after that, else binaries won't work.

From rsync bundle one needs to have at least 

chmod.exe
cygiconv-2.dll # for chmod
cygintl-3.dll  # for chmod
cygwin1.dll
rsync.exe

to be able to use rsync from the garden properly. I have no idea what happens if cygwin is in PATH, but it is asking for problems.


[edit] Cross-compiling for PPC on Intel Mac

I see that Mojca has left homework for me to do over the week-end ;-) so here goes:

In order to cross-compile for PPC on a Intel Mac, you need to give the compiler and the linker the following additional switches: 

-arch ppc

Pretty damn simple, isn't?

So all you have to do is set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS before you run configure (as well as CXXFLAGS, if applicable). Of course it may be that some Makefiles don't honor these variables and override them with something of their own, and this is the major inconvience you will have to deal with (this is actually what the Makefile for lua does; here you would have to set something like MYCFLAGS or XCFLAGS in addition).

Obviously, you can also use a similar instruction to cross-compile the other way round (build for Intel on a PPC host); it's called -arch i386; and if you give both at the same time, it results with a so-called universal binary (the size of which being approximately the sum of the size of both individual binaries). Arthur 17:20, 30 September 2007 (CEST)

For pdfTeX it's enough to say 

CFLAGS="-arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-arch ppc" CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc" ./build.sh

XeTeX supports the syntax 

./build-xetex "-arch ppc"

for cross-compiling.

It is also adviced to use 

gcc_select

and select gcc 3.3 to be more backward compatible, as well as setting 

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3

  • Concrete and Euler or Concrete Math

forget-me-not (how to generate map files for XeTeX): 

ctxtools --dpx --force --maproot=/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/fonts/map/dvips/tex-gyre


[edit] Different (check)

  • fourier
  • \definefontsynonym [RalfSmithFormalScript] [rsfs10]
  • \definefontsynonym [MartinVogel] [fmvr8x]

[edit] Building plain formats (to be done)

This text will disapear from page, but until we put some additional files to the distribution, here are some notes for me.

There are no CMR fonts in the distribution (more or less on purpose), but you can use LM replacement instead. 

% pdftex.ini
\pdfoutput=1
\pdfcompresslevel=9
\pdfdecimaldigits=3
\pdfpagewidth=210 true mm
\pdfpageheight=297 true mm
\pdfhorigin=1 true in
\pdfvorigin=1 true in
\pdfpkresolution=600

\input plain
\dump
\endinput

pdftex -ini pdftex.ini

One needs to use: 

\pdfmapfile{+lm-rep-cmtext.map}
