ConTeXt #208
Comments
Good question. I was not aware that |
Yes, it is. It is also part of TeX Live 2019, for that matter. |
Hi, Looking again at the documentation you linked on the first post, the status of ConTeXt with respect to texlive is somewhat fuzzy. The web site distributes binaries for many architectures, but I've been unable to find source code. I will be needing some more help on this issue. |
Yes, that should be the case (actually, the latest version now uses “luametatex”, which is the next iteration on the luatex project). ConTeXt is constantly evolving. The distributions you find in the page I have linked contain a script that install a self-contained beta (which is considered stable) for the specified architecture using rsync. Such beta is entirely self-contained and can be installed anywhere, e.g., in your home directory. Once a year, ConTeXt's developers “freeze” the beta and prepare a release for TeX Live. For the source code, see https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Development. What is required for an executable to run within a-Shell? |
For an executable to run within a-Shell, it needs to be compiled for the Arm64 processor using the iOS SDK. So basically recompiled from scratch (It's not one of the architectures included in their script). The source code must also be edited to release all memory that was allocated and re-initialize all variables. Finally, if it starts other commands or outputs things to stdout, it must be linked with Since it's not part of the main texlive distribution, I will finish the work on TL2021 first, then have a look at the source code you linked. |
Thanks for this app! How hard would it be to support ConTeXt?
