No sure if this is of interest to anyone, but I have just successfully

Yes ... it's 'pimps' as my sister would say.

Some minor comments:

I had to apt-get autoconf to enable the autoconf script to run and configure 
then required dblatex (a surprise - I thought this was no longer used?) and 
texlive-lang-cyrillic.  That's all.  Quite easy.  make all and make doc then 
ran perfectly to completion.

yup.

It's all there.

See the next comment

for the bits and pieces for 'complete' dev env.


Ubuntu is such a huge beast now (even with the Ku and Xu versions) that have tripled in size the current lilydev (which is based on 10.04) - which still works by the way as I use it all the time, all you would need to do is use that and then run apt-get update and download the updates, whicih takes no longer than installing a new later version of Ubuntu anyway.

I don't know how to build a 'liveCD' from other distributions and the tool that I used for lilydev is no longer being developed and while it works for 13.10 it still produces huge ISO files (2GB in size). I've been trying to find a way to build a _small_ ISO file for a new lilydev but time and experience are alluding me.

But we could just update the CG (I thought Eluze had done that, but am obviously mistaken) based on that tracker I referenced above.
