Failure to precompile do to Tectonic issue

Open jpfairbanks opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

The issue https://github.com/MichaelHatherly/Tectonic.jl/issues/13, prevents Tectonic from precompiling on M1 Macs until an upstream tectonic issue is resolved. Is there a way to prevent that precompile issue from propagating to TikzPictures?

From looking at the TikzPictures src, it appears that lualatex is the default engine with Tectonic being opt-in.

Upstream says that we can use a JLL version if we don't need biber support. Would switching to that help?

We don't need biber support.

Hi @jpfairbanks @mykelk Any progress on this? I'm not able to precompile TikzPictures on my M2 mac because of Tectonic, is there any workaround?

@dylan-asmar is looking into this.
