I tried to do the following:
% arara: lualatex: {options: -output-directory=.\output\ -aux-directory=.\auxiliary}
I did not succeed. I also tried starting the command with --
as well as absolute path with /
or \
.
A nice to have extra would be, that the folders become created if not already existing.
A second question: Will LuaLaTeX know where the auxiliaries are stored in a second run?
I am working on Win XP 64 with MikTeX 2.9

The answer is: it is not possible... but it is not
arara
's fault.Infact, the command line
--aux-directory
is implemented ONLY for a few tools in MiKTeX distribution (it doesn't even exists in TeX Live).If, from the command line, you run
lualatex --help
you will getAs you can see,
--aux-directory
is not present.You can obtain something similar depending on your editor, for example WinEdt and TeXMaker have a similar option. See this thread: Is there a way to configure pdflatex to make all but the .tex and .pdf files hidden files?.
