gub error

[John Karl]

I'm trying to learn a little bit about how to do development work.  My 
main impetus to this is the recent (and ongoing) problem with long 
compile times on OSX since v2.19.47.


So I installed VirtualBox on my OSX 10.11.6 machine

    ++ uname -a
    Linux debian 3.16.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-1 
(2016-03-06) i686 GNU/Linux

    ++ df -k .
    Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda1       68657688 9331368  55815588  15% /
`

and installed lilydev (lilydev-4.1-i386.hybrid.iso).  I then 
successfully built lilypond v2.19.49:

    + cd
    + pwd
    /home/pat
    + which lilypond
    /home/pat/lilypond-git/build/lily/out/lilypond
    + lilypond --version
    GNU LilyPond 2.19.49

I believe it was during this phase that I encountered a problem with a 
missing "unzip" program, which I rectified using apt-get.

I also successfully used this lilypond to compile a simple lilypond file.


But what I needed was a version of lilypond v2.19.49 for OSX.  As I 
understand the docs, that means installing gub, which I did, following 
the instructions in the Contributor's guide v2.19.48, section 11.4:

        git clone git://github.com/gperciva/gub.git
        cd gub
        make bootstrap (I added:  > make_bootstrap.out 2>&1)

There were no instructions where this should be done; I did it in my home directory.  The 
"make bootstrap" step
seemed to complete ok; the final line of make_bootstrap.out was "done."

However, I did see some ominous messages containing the word "conflicts":

++ egrep -in conflict make_bootstrap.out
539:  cross/gcc-core conflicts with cross/gcc-doc
541:  glibc-core conflicts with glibc-doc
764:  cross/gcc-core conflicts with cross/gcc-doc
766:  glibc-core conflicts with glibc-doc
846:  cross/gcc-core conflicts with cross/gcc-doc
848:  glibc-core conflicts with glibc-doc

Looking around the first set of conflicts:

        printing lines 536 thru 544 of make_bootstrap.out
        *** Stage: pkg_install (glibc, linux-x86)

        done
        cross/gcc-core conflicts with cross/gcc-doc
                  removing cross/gcc-core
        glibc-core conflicts with glibc-doc
          removing glibc-core
        calculating dependencies
        *** Stage: download (darwin-sdk, darwin-ppc)

Later, during the "make lilypond", the make terminates abnormally with the 
following messages:

+ tail -26 make_lilypond.out
    uninstalling package: glibc-doc
<<<<<<<< Tail of log/gub.log

Traceback (most recent call last):

    lst = self._package_file_db[name]

make[1]: *** [packages] Error 1

So there seems to be a connection with the conflicts during the bootstrap phase.

Can anyone give me a clue here?  Thanks

I'm attaching compressed versions of make_bootstrap.out and make_lilypond.out.
