(unofficial) LaTeX format for LuaMetaTeX
Warning:
This code is in early stages of development and contains more bugs than features. Do not expect it to be compatible with normal documents. Also later versions will contain many breaking changes.
Prerequisites
You need an up-to-date TeX Live installation and the latest version of LuaMetaTeX. Additionally a current development version of luaotfload is required. (Of course, luaotfload is not necessary if you only want to use luametaplain without Unicode fonts.)
Additionally a special library version of LuaTeX's kpathsea Lua binding is needed which is provided as a binary for Linux x64 and Windows x64. The Windows version is much less tests and may be out-of-date. For other platforms you have to compile it yourself. Drop me a line if you need any instructions. (The source can be found under https://github.com/zauguin/luametalatex-kpse)
How to install (automatically)
Obtain luametatex from ConTeXt, drop the binary into the same location where your luatex binary is installed and then run install.sh.
How to install (manually)
Obtain luametatex from ConTeXt, drop the binary into the same location where your luatex binary is installed and copy (or sym-link) the file luametalatex.lua into the same directory. Additionally create a sym-link luametalatex to luametatex in the same directory. Then copy (or sym-link) this entire repo to .../texmf-local/tex/lualatex/luametalatex.
Finally add the lines (on Windows, $(luametalatex.lua) has to be replaced by the full path to luametalatex.lua)
luametalatex luametatex language.dat,language.dat.lua --lua="$(kpsewhich luametalatex.lua)" luametalatex.ini
to your local fmtutil.cnf and configure paths for luametalatex in your texmf.cnf. Then you should be able to run mktexlsr followed by fmtutil-sys --byfmt luametalatex to generate the format.
If this worked you can built (simple) LaTeX documents using the command luametalatex.
You can then repeat the same instructions with luametalatex-dev and luametaplain to also get access to development and plain TeX formats
