MiKTeX Tools 2.8 Beta 2

Monday, 23 February 2009 10:10 by CSchenk

A new release for GNU/Linux will be available later this week. It is tagged "MiKTeX Tools 2.8 Beta 2".

What's new

  • MiKTeX-pdfTeX, the MiKTeX variant of the pdfTeX angine, has been ported.
  • Binary packages (deb/rpm/tgz) are now available for i386 GNU/Linux systems.

MiKTeX-pdfTeX

The engine features integrated package management: missing packages will be installed on-the-fly (after confirmation).

The binary is installed as miktex-pdftex so that it can coexist with the pdftex binary of the host TeX system.

Availability

Binary packages (deb/rpm/tgz) and source code will be released later this week. Keep an eye on the MiKTeX Tools home page (http://miktex.org/unx/).

--admin is a new option. Do you have another (pre Beta 2) MiKTeX Tools installation?

Hi,

I've been trying to get MikTeX-Tools 2.8 beta installed on my new MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5 Leopard) with only partial success. After commenting out #include malloc.h in some files (I found it is obsolete?) and export LC_ALL="C" the installation goes well (~67%) until I get the following error:

[ 66%] Built target texmf-static

To what library those functions (fseeko64 and ftello64) belong?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install MikTeX-Tools 2.8 beta in my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5 Leopard) but it seems I don't have fseeko64 and ftello64 which produces an error at about 67% of compilation. What library am I missing?

Thank you.

p.s. I apologize if this comment appears twice.
