It is not possible to complete 'make install' in a consistent manner in Debian-sarge. The problem lies in texinfo.
If you use texinfo-4.7, that breaks 'make install' in lilypond-devel: install-info --remove --info-dir=/usr/local/info ./out/lilypond.info install-info(./out/lilypond.info): no entry for file `lilypond'. install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info ./out/lilypond.info install-info(./out/lilypond.info): Invalid info entry make[2]: *** [local-install-info] Error 9 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hjunes/build/lilypond/Documentation/user' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hjunes/build/lilypond/Documentation' make: *** [install] Error 2 But if you install makeinfo-4.8, that breaks debian-sarge: Setting up wget (1.9.1-12) ... install-info: No such file or directory for Network Applications dpkg: error processing wget (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Setting up xlibs-dev (4.3.0.dfsg.1-13) ... Errors were encountered while processing: wget E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Therefore, texinfo-4.8 always has to be installed before installing lilypond from source and deinstalled after installing. Earlier I wrote that it is possible to build lilypond-cvs in debian-sarge, but this problem has always been present. -- Terveisin Heikki Junes _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
