Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi

[John Burt]

Thank you for your help. I solved the problem in a stupidly easy way, or
rather discovered that I had caused the problem in a stupid way. It struck
me as strange that I could launch Denemo but not Lilypond, and it occured to
me that when I installed Denemo from the add/remove software tab on the
preferences pane I might have installed a version of Lilypond that was
conflicting with the one I had downloaded separately. So I deleted both
programs and started over, installing both of them from the add/remove
software tab on the preferences pane.. Now Denemo runs, and Lilypad runs
also. It should have occurred to me that if the repository maintainers
included Denemo that they would have made sure that the Lilypad they had was
compatible with it.

I can see the packages at
http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/pool/main/g/guile-1.8/
which correspond in version number to those that I had installed on
a jessie system (mine was i386) still being kept up-to-date as of
2019-03-28. I didn't use apt (obviously) to get to those packages,
but just browsed from http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian
given on the page you referred to above.

So you could just download them by hand and install them with
either   dpkg -i foo.deb   (dependencies first) or with apt
and friends   apt install ./foo.deb
Note that to install .deb *files* with apt, the filename must
be a path starting with any of / or ./ or ../ else apt will
misinterpret it.

Watching conversations here, I think very hard, possibly involving
Python2→3 as well, though I might be wrong there. I don't think LP
would be using guile1 at all were it straightforward.

There does appear to be an open thread about compiling LP which
involves guile:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-01/msg00319.html
and another about compiling libreadline into guile:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-01/msg00198.html
which might be of help, but I've not tried any of this as I download
amd64 tarballs from the LP website myself.

Cheers,
David.

Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi

[John Burt]

I downloaded the deb-file for lilypond from
http://partitura.org/index.php/lilypond/. It installed smoothly. But I had
trouble getting it to run because of the required dependency on guile 1.8 (I
have guile 2 something). I followed the instructions on the partitura page
for downloading guile 1.8, but when I update my apt program it tells me that
the apt archive for jessie is no longer available. Is there another way that
you know of to install guile 1.8? 

I also downloaded the source for lilypond to see whether I could compile it.
But I'm new at that. Do you have an idea how hard it would be for me to
modify the lilypond sources so that they would work with the guile I have?
Thanks!

The deb-file is too large for the list and my message was rejected.
I added it to my website, so you can download it there: 
http://partitura.org/index.php/lilypond/
I'd like to hear whether or not you succeed in installing it on your 
Raspberry.

Here is the deb-package.
You have to place it somewhere on your Raspberry Pi and install it with:
"dpkg -i lilypond_2.21.0_armhf.deb" (without the quotes, of course).

To run Lilypond I needed to install three more dependicies on my 
Raspberry: guile 1.8, Libpangoft and ghostscript. The most recent 
version of Raspbian is based on Debian Stretch and Guile 1.8 is not 
part of Stretch. To be able to install it, you have to modify the 
sources.list of apt-get. Type:
"sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list", add the line "deb 
http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian jessie main ", and save the 
file. Then run

"sudo apt-get update" and
"sudo apt-get install guile-1.8-dev"

The other two dependicies are installed by typing:
"sudo apt-get install libpangoft2-1.0"
"sudo apt-get install ghostscript"

After that, you should be able to run Lilypond on your Raspberry. It 
works on mine.

Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi

[Engraver]

It means you don't have all the required dependencies installed. Beginning 
with guile-1.8, plus all the others in the error message. The way forward 
is to install each of them. I'm my experience it was quite a puzzle to find 
all the right package names. It took al lot of googling. Unfortunately I 
did not write them down. For guile I do remember you have to install the 
guile-1.8-dev package. If your distribution is debian based, installing is 
done by typing


sudo apt-get install guile-1.8-dev

At leat the error message about guile should disappear.

I managed to compile lilypond on my arm based tablet, create a deb-package 
from and used that to install lilypond on one of my raspberries. If you are 
interested I could sent it to you. I 'm not at home at the moment so it'll 
have to wait till I get back.

Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi

[Peter Engelbert]

That's right -- I had to add the repository from the earlier version of Debian 
to the apt sources list.  That was the only way I could get it to install.  
Compiling a large program such as lilypond from source was far too difficult 
for me (I'm a novice when it comes to building from source).

Another way would be to install Arch linux on your raspberry pi, and the arch 
repository has 2.19.82, though I can't confirm they have the ARM package.

Don't know if I have much more to add--I can't quite remember how to change the 
apt sources as I switched to arch a while ago.

Best,
Peter

Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi

[Jamie Ching]

Hi,
Your best bet is to compile from source code itself if the distribution
doesn't have Lilypond. As it sounds like you're using a Debian-based
distribution, check if "sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond" works; if it
doesn't, you will need to install the required development packages via
apt-get. Be wary that one of Lilypond's dependencies, TeX, takes up quite a
bit of space on the microSD card.

There is a set of instructions as to how to compile Lilypond on the
website: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/contributor/compiling
Below is a shortcut way to install Lilypond quickly. Refer to the above if
needed.

Standard procedure to install programs from source code:
- download the stable version of the Lilypond source code, extract via "tar
-xvf", and "cd" into the directory of the extracted folder.
- install "build-essential" via apt-get - build-essential is a collection
of libraries, compilers, and other tools used to help compile programs from
source code.
- run "./configure" and do install any missing dependencies (usually marked
with a "-dev" at the end); keep looping until "./configure" finishes
successfully.
- run "make" then "sudo make install"; the processes may take time to
finish, depending on the version of the Raspberry Pi.

Hope that helps. Happy engraving.

Best wishes,
Jamie

P.S. : I've noted that the compiling link is broken here on the source code
page: http://lilypond.org/source.html

There, Peter Engelbert was trying to compile LilyPond from source. 
(Adding him to CC on this post.) He did report that adding the Debian 8 
Jessie repository to his APT sources.list allowed a successful install 
of LilyPond 2.18.2 on Raspberry Pi. Newer Debian repositories were 
missing LilyPond due to a required-version conflict with the Guile package.

That means that the exact Linux distribution you are running doesn't 
include the LilyPond package.
But it's still easy to do: just download the distribution from the 
LilyPond website (either http://lilypond.org/unix.html for the 
"stable" release or http://lilypond.org/development.html for the 
"development" release (which is usually preferrable).




I don't think it's going to work, because IIRC Raspberry Pi runs an 
architecture (some kind of arm) for which we do not provide an 
installer.


Recently another user willing to use a development version instead of 
the stable of his debian repository asked how to easily build lilypond 
on Raspberry.

If you run the raspberry without graphic interface you can identify the 
download link from the website and download with wget.

Then run the downloaded install script with sh downloaded-file-name.
