I getting used to the BeagleBone Black, so I though I'd try compiling Lilypond. It runs Debian, but on an ARM. LilyPond hasn't provided a precompiled binary for ARM for a decade.
Similar to what Trevor found, http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2014-02/msg00212.html setting up on Debian is not too difficult, except for fonts that don't come easily from the repositories http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2015-08/msg00138.html sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond ## I don't know why configure says we need this: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends dblatex ## These are new dependencies that we should get into build-dep lilypond, ## when someone has the time to learn how. sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends texlive-lang-cyrillic sudo apt-get install tex-gyre sudo apt-get install g++-4.7 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.7 60 \ --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.7 sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 40 \ --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 sudo update-alternatives --config gcc ## anonymous git wasn't working today, so I authenticated git clone kei...@git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/lilypond.git cd lilypond ./autogen.sh --noconfigure ./configure \ --with-texgyre-dir=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/ \ --disable-optimising LilyPond works on short scores, but runs out of memory when forking gs for anything longer than a page. This BeagleBone has 512MB RAM, but I didn't have any swap at all, and the 4GB flash-drive was nearly full after installing the build dependencies. With a swap file on an SD card, this might be a working LilyPond. LilyPond on a BeagleBone is silly, but we might want to put it on the ARM in a Chromebook or something. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
