Well, I tried building GUB on 11.04, unsuccessfully (I have a file that kept a record of everything I did, if anybody is interested). Then I tried on lilydev in a virtual machine, and was also unsuccessful. I didn't keep a good record of what happened at that time. So then I tried with a fresh copy of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I was able to work everything out and get it to build. I will probably try to summarize the efforts in the miscellaneous part of the CG. > In particular, what's this > netpbm thing? The source for netpbm on lilypon.org is http://lilypond.org/download/gub-sources/netpbm-patched/ netpbm-patched-10.35.tar.bz2. The source entry in gub/gub/specs/netpbm.py is http://lilypond.org/download/gub-sources/netpbm-patched-10.35.tar.bz2 When the download doesn't succeed, no error is thrown. So as long as you have the file when it comes time to extract it, you can go ahead. But if the file isn't there, you end up with an error. I've made a patch that fixes it and will send it to you. > > [*] after installing libmpfr-dev, which is mentioned in the > README. In looking at my notes, it appears that I may have failed on my lilydev install because I didn't install libmpfr-dev. (BTW, the package name libmpfr-dev is not in the README; I've made a patch to put it there, and I'll send that to you too. I'm currently in the midst of make bootstrap on lilydev. I expect it to continue to completion. It will then be interesting to see if lilydev has everything needed to do make lilypond. On my vanilla 10.04 installation, there were some additional things I needed to install in order to make lilypond, even after completing make bootstrap. Anyway, it's been more learning than I expected, but I think I can now learn to modify the installers on GUB for windows and OS/X. I'll be running make lilypond overnight tonight.
