12.6 Building an Ubuntu distro

Here’s the short instruction on how to create lilybuntu iso image (Jonathan Kulp did this on a spare drive, but he supposes it can be done in a VM too):

1. Install ubuntu, reboot.
2. Run all updates, reboot if asked.
3. Enable src repos, refresh package lists.
4. Install LilyPond build deps:

   sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond
   

5. Install git and autoconf:

   sudo apt-get install git-core gitk autoconf
   

6. Test to see whether everything works fine now:
   1. use lily-git.tcl to grab source files
   2. go to source dir and do

      "./autogen.sh" ; make ; make doc
      

   3. if all compiles, move on to iso creation...
7. Download & install "remastersys": http://sourceforge.net/projects/remastersys/
8. Copy lily-git.tcl script file into ‘/etc/skel/’.
9. Modify ‘/etc/remastersys.conf’ as desired (change .iso name, default live session username, etc).
10. Remove non-essential desktop software as desired.
11. Create iso:

    sudo remastersys dist
    

    New iso is in ‘/home/remastersys/remastersys/’.

12. Test iso by installing in VM and repeating steps above for getting source files and building lp and docs.
