Hi all
For those who want to contribute to the guile-2 migration, I suggest
you use a Linux container, because I'm having troubles with building a
new LilyDev image and I don't know when I'll find a solution.
I quickly wrote a brief tutorial to set up a Debian or Fedora guest
within a systemd container (I guess that you need a recent distro).
# Linux container
## Create the guest system
### Debian
Install the following packages in your Debian-based host:
sudo apt-get install systemd-container debootstrap
Then create the system (we'll use Debian testing, which has the
required guile-2.0 package):
mkdir debian
debootstrap --arch=amd64 stretch DebianStretch
http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/
sudo systemd-nspawn -D debian
### Fedora
If you have Fedora, you can use this command:
mkdir fedora
sudo dnf --releasever=25 --installroot=/absolute/path/to/fedora
install systemd passwd dnf fedora-release
sudo systemd-nspawn -D fedora
## Guest setup
Whatever you chose, Debian or Fedora, let's continue from the last
command.
The system will boot without asking for a password and you'll be the
root user.
Let's set the root password and close:
passwd
shutdown -h now
Start it again with the -b option (now you'll have to login as root
using
the password you chose):
sudo systemd-nspawn -bD DebianStretch
Let's install LilyPond dependencies and some useful packages.
If you have Debian:
apt-get install git nano
apt-get build-dep lilypond
If you have Fedora:
dnf install dnf-plugins-core git nano
dnf builddep lilypond
Create a regular user for working on LilyPond source:
adduser dev
Switch to dev user:
su dev
cd
Now you are in /home/dev in your guest. You can use your host file
manager to
copy lilypond-git from your host to /home/dev/ in your guest. Same for
~/.gitconfig, if you don't want to repeat the setup.
Use nano for git commit messages.
If you prefer, the LilyPond source files can be edited in the host
system,
where you have also the GUI and your usual applications.
HTH
