Re: How to create an installer from the Lilypond build tree?

[Engraver]

For future reference if anyone searching the archives comes across this 
thread: I finally managed to create a debian package for the lilypond 
build I made on my tablet (arm architecture). There exists a tool, 
called "checkinstall", that can be used to install a build from source 
and at that at the same times creates a deb-package for it. It can also 
create installers for several other distros.

Auke

Remember that a lilypond deb package already exists.
I have zero experience with Debian packaging and a little experience 
with Fedora packaging, but I guess they work similarly. In theory, you 
should install some tools, download some configuration files, edit a 
few lines to change the lilypond version and run the build. But you may 
run in dependency problems.


The reason of the confusion in the version name is explained here:

That's a nice idea. No idea how that is done, but it's worth 
investigating. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello Federico,



I use the testing version of Debian Buster. There is indeed (on first 

sight) a Lilypond 2.19 in the repositories. I installed that and ran ' 

lilypond -version': it reports itself as "2.18.2". Then I looked more 

closely to the packagename. It is called: "2.19.81+really-2.18.2-13". It 

seems that the experimental brach of Buster does have a real 2.19.xx. Then you may use pinning to install lilypond from experimental. But you may have dependency problems and pinning can be "dangerous" if not used correctly.I guess you'd better compile from source.

However, I only saw that after already having compiled Lilypond myself.

I only wish there were a way to create an installer so that I don't have to 

create the complete build environment anew when something goes wrong with 

my current Linux installation. You shouldn't have to create again the build environment.And you may build a deb package from your desktop computer___

Hallo all,

I have a (rooted) Android tablet, on which I run Linux Debian by
means of an app called Linux Deploy. The debian repositories for the
ARMv7 (or armhf) chipset only contain Lilypond 2.18.2. That served me
well for quite some time. However, the Edition Engraver requires at
least Lilypond 2.19.xx, so I decided to try and build Lilypond on my
tablet. I cloned the Lilypond source code and after several hours of
painstakingly apt-getting al required dependecies (and googling for
the correct packages names, since they're not always self-evident)
the build process succeeded.
So I have now a Lilypond version 2.21.0 suitable for the armhf
architecture.
Installing it was as simple as typing 'make install'. What I'd like
to know: is there a way to create an installer, so that I can run
that when something goes wrong with my current Linux installation?
And of course, if someone is interested in a recent Lilypond build
for armhf (though I suspect the possible user base is quite
small...), I'd love to share it. That is, if there is a way to create
an installer; it's not practical to zip/tar the build-tree and share
that.

Hi Auke

I guess you are using Debian Jessie (oldstable)?
If you upgrade to Stretch and add the stretch-backports repository,
you'll get 2.19.x versions. See here:
