I want to try the great pdfcrop.pl script by Heiko Oberdiek (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcrop) with LuaTeX engine.
Unfortunately my knowledge about LaTeX tools like LuaTeX is non existent. I'm looking for miniamalist setup instructions to make it work (on Windows 7 OS).
I downloaded miminal LuaTeX engine files from: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/mswin/bin/
I'm using --luatex --luatexcmd switches for the script but it throws errors. I've made a lot of cobbling it together at that point (like copying missing .fmt and other files from other distributions like MikTeX, LeXlive etc..) but I guess it doesn't make sense to describe that exactly as I didn't really know what I was doing ;)
Best would be to start fresh So given the pdfcrop.pl script and the miminalist LuaTeX engine files - Coould somebody outline steps to make it work?
Thanks a lot!
UPDATE
When i'm running this with --debug and --ini switches:
pdfcropn.pl --debug --hires --gscmd="C:\Program Files\gs\bin\gswin32c.exe" --luatex --ini --luatexcmd="C:\PDFcrop\Luatex\luatex.exe" "CTGov PS model.pdf" "CTGov PS model.crop2.pdf"
it gives me this:

I can see tmp-pdfcrop-5448.tex has been created in the directory where original PDF is.
Moreover by manually re-running luatex command with full path to the tex file it goes further but still breaks:
