Lilypond error when building .....

brodo · 10-01-2009, 06:13 AM

Hello !

I've just tried to compile lilypond using a fresh SlackBuild
from slacky.eu site.

I have all deps and I use current Slackware that was gradually upgraded using all current packages since version 12.2. So I call it "version 13".

After a minute or so I got this ugly sentence:

<<File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shutil.py", line 52, in copyfile
fsrc = open(src, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './out/midi.so'
make[1]: *** [local-install-outfiles] Error 1>>>

Where is the problem ?

Try the SlackBuild script from www.SlackBuilds.org.

Regarding dependencies, check:

You will need to have FontForge and mftrace installed in order to build
LilyPond, both of which are available at slackbuilds.org.

There must be a nasty devil hidden somewhere in my t23 laptop because after using SlackBuild from SBo I got this:

<<<<<

I can't find the base file `mf.base'!
make[1]: *** [out/feta11.log] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

It took appr. 20 minutes of compiling time before error occured compared to 1 minute at previous attempt.

Still no luck .... :-(

Try compiling this lilypond slackbuild again, but this time with 'su -'. If you log in as 'su' then mktexfmt won't be in your PATH. If you log in as 'su -' then it will be in your PATH and lilypond will compile.

I did it with "su -".

The result is as follows:

Maybe this post could help:

I finally succesfully compiled lilypond with "su -".
The second attempt I made was done on another laptop with similar "Slackware current state progress" and it worked.
After that I copied the resulting packages to the first laptop, and installed them.
So I have working lilypond/solfege on 2 machines now.

Thanks for your "su -" suggestion ! :-)
