TeXLive on x86_64?

Software
61

I am currently in the process of updating TeXLive to 2023 (see the PR here).

Is anyone using ConTeXt on Haiku, or has tried using it? It is not built as part of TeXLive in this version because of build system problems. If there is some demand for it, we should probably create a separate package for it.

On that note: we could probably split some of the tools in texlive_core into their own packages in general, like I already did for t1utils.

I put like for update to TeXLive 2023. I personally donā€™t use ConTeXt at all.

I updated TeXLive to 2025 and this time the build seems to have worked for both architectures, so we should have an up-to-date TeX environment again.

Thanks for that! Iā€™ve updated TeXstudio this morning after seeing the build finished on 64bit. Kudos for that hard work! :+1:

LyX still seems to be the red-headed stepchild in the family. With texlive-full installed, it struggles to find its files.

Not sure if it helps (and unrelated to article.cls), but maybe you could try this?

Searching the net I found this: LyX not accessing styles, classes, and bibliographies - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange

After: Tools ā†’ Reconfigure and relaunching that message didnā€™t appear anymore. I canā€™t open tex files with it though?

Thanks, Begasus, that did the trick!

Hello everyone, nice to see a working latex ecosystem on Haiku. One question though, Iā€™ve been using Texstudio on linux and windows and I really appreciate the nicely translated interface (french in my case). The translation isnā€™t available on Haiku unfortunately. Lyx is translated and Texmaker also.

Iā€™d really like to see Context ported, maybe from the standalone installer (Introduction/Installation - Wiki). Texworks support Context quite well but is not yet ported (TeXworks).

72

Will have to give it a closer look, I see the translation files are in the package, but probably not in the right place, thanks for spotting!

I have been looking into creating a recipe for luametatex, the engine for ConTeXt, already. I canā€™t really give an ETA when it will be available though. The data files should already be available in the texlive_context package (part of the texlive recipe).

74

Looking at the CMakeList.txt file it ā€œshouldā€ work, Iā€™ll try to get in contact with upstream asking about it.

if(UNIX)
	install(DIRECTORY translation/
		DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR}/texstudio
		FILES_MATCHING
		PATTERN *.qm
	)

Ok thanks ! Just updated to Texstudio 4.8.6 and in the language option I still have only ā€³defaultā€³ or ā€³englishā€³ to choose from (default is english).
On a quite similar topic, Iā€™ve been testing Texmacs which is a great typesetting program. Itā€™s available in Haiku Depot but it is an older version (1.99, current version is 2.14). I can create a document, edit it, save it, but when I try to open it again I got an empty new document. This bug make it quite unusable sadlyā€¦

Looking at the URI for the source itā€™s kinda a Haiku specific archive there, so not sure how easy it would be to update Texmacs to the latest release.
