GUB build attempt on Ubuntu 10.04.4

[John Mandereau]

I've never got so far than this time, as I've managed to complete

make bootstrap
make -f lilypond.make bootstrap

at the price of ugly kludgy operations, so I thought a report would be
of some interest for GUB hackers.

After this, any attempt to build LilyPond with GUB failed at configure,
with a lot of dependencies not found, like FlexLexer.h, libguile,
Python.h, libpango1.0-dev.  All these have been built in in 'tools' or
the specific targets during the bootstrap stages above.  I porbably
won't investigate further before the meeting in Waltrop.

I used my Core2 Duo with a desktop Ubuntu 
10.04.4 (Lucid Lynx LTS) i386, installed on an external hard disk using
a virtual machine, and then used by chrooting in it (so in case it
matters, I'm using a 3.x kernel 3.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64).

I reused downloads from a previous attempt, so I can't remember which
issues I had, but IIRC downloads not found by GUB were easily retrieved
by hand.


Here are the steps I did to work around failing builds/installs.

It complained about not finding libz.so, although

$ ls target/tools/root/usr/lib/libz.so*
libz.so        libz.so.1      libz.so.1.2.3  

Doing

aptitude install libz-dev

allowed to build the GUB package and go further.

Well, this is a well-known issue:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2011-12/msg00719.html

I haven't been able to find a clean solution: there has been some
discussion on Python issue tracker about Linux 2/Linux 3 issues, and in
my case the running kernel is a 3.x, but I don't know how this is
supposed to affect dynamic libraries search.  Whatever.  After
unsuccessful searches, I had the idea of copying the freshly compiled
libpython2.4.so.1.0 (which was in the same build directory as the
freshly compiled python binary) to target/tools/root:

cd target/tools
cp  build/python-2.4.5/libpython2.4.* root/usr/lib/

then after the usual
rm status/python-2.4.5-Python-2.4.5
I retried and tools::python build ran and completed.

GUB has completed the build of
tools::{autoconf,automake,gettext,make,libtool}, so it must be
some /usr/{bin,lib} hardcoded path.  I installed gettext on the host
system through aptitude (that provides libgettext), but still no luck:

I no longer have the whole config.log at hand, but it said something like

"Version mismatch: LT_INIT comes from libtool-2.2.6b [...] You should recreate 
aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6"

2.2.6b is the version installed in /usr (Ubuntu 10.04.4).  I tried
installing libtool 2.2.6 by compiling from source, but it didn't help,
so I installed it in /usr instead, and then "make -f lilypond.make
bootstrap" completed.

Cheers,
John
