22 There are two sets of releases for LilyPond: stable releases, and
23 unstable development releases. Stable versions have an even-numbered
24 @q{minor} version number (i.e. 2.8, 2.10, 2.12, etc). Development
25 versions have an odd-numbered @q{minor} version number (i.e. 2.7, 2.9,
28 Building LilyPond is a very involved process, so we @strong{highly}
29 recommend using the precompiled binaries.

114 In addition to the packages needed for running Lilypond (see below), you
115 need the following extra packages for building.

216 @unnumberedsubsubsec Compiling
218 To install GNU LilyPond, type
221 gunzip -c lilypond-x.y.z | tar xf -
223 ./configure # run with --help for applicable options
228 If you are not root, you should choose a @code{--prefix} argument that
229 points into your home directory, e.g.
232 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
236 @unnumberedsubsubsec Compiling for multiple platforms
238 If you want to build multiple versions of LilyPond with different
239 configuration settings, you can use the @code{--enable-config=CONF}
240 option of configure. You should use @samp{make conf=CONF} to generate
241 the output in @file{out-CONF}. Example: Suppose you want to build
242 with and without profiling, then use the following for the normal
246 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/ --enable-checking
251 and for the profiling version, specify a different configuration
254 ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/ --enable-profiling --enable-config=prof --disable-checking
256 make conf=prof install

263 The documentation can be built locally without compiling lilypond from

276 Please note that this may break sometimes -- for example, if a new
277 feature is added with a test file in input/regression, even the latest
278 unstable Lily will fail to build the docs.

284 @node Testing LilyPond
285 @subsection Testing LilyPond
288 <a name="testing"></a>
291 LilyPond comes with an extensive suite that exercises the entire
292 program. This suite can be used to automatically check the impact of a
293 change. This is done as follows
297 @emph{## apply your changes, compile}
301 This will leave an HTML page @file{out/test-results/index.html}. This
302 page shows all the important differences that your change introduced,
303 whether in the layout, MIDI, performance or error reporting.
308 make test-redo @emph{## redo files differing from baseline}
309 make test-clean @emph{## remove all test results}
313 and then run @code{make check} again.
315 For tracking memory usage as part of this test, you will need GUILE
316 CVS; especially the following patch:
317 @uref{http://lilypond.org/vc/gub.darcs/patches/guile-1.9-gcstats.patch}.
319 For checking the coverage of the test suite, do the following
322 ./buildscripts/build-coverage.sh
323 @emph{# uncovered files, least covered first}
324 python ./buildscripts/coverage.py --summary out-cov/*.cc
325 @emph{# consecutive uncovered lines, longest first}
326 python ./buildscripts/coverage.py --uncovered out-cov/*.cc
333 For help and questions use @email{lilypond-user@@gnu.org}. Send bug
334 reports to @email{bug-lilypond@@gnu.org}.
336 Bugs that are not fault of LilyPond are documented here.
338 @unnumberedsubsubsec Bison 1.875
340 There is a bug in bison-1.875: compilation fails with "parse error
341 before `goto'" in line 4922 due to a bug in bison. To fix, please
342 recompile bison 1.875 with the following fix
345 $ cd lily; make out/parser.cc
346 $ vi +4919 out/parser.cc
347 # append a semicolon to the line containing "__attribute__ ((__unused__))
353 @unnumberedsubsubsec Solaris
355 Solaris7, ./configure
357 @file{./configure} needs a POSIX compliant shell. On Solaris7,
358 @file{/bin/sh} is not yet POSIX compliant, but @file{/bin/ksh} or bash
359 is. Run configure like
362 CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh ksh -c ./configure
369 CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash bash -c ./configure
372 @unnumberedsubsubsec FreeBSD
374 To use system fonts, dejaview must be installed. With the default
375 port, the fonts are installed in @file{usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu}.
377 Open the file @file{$LILYPONDBASE/usr/etc/fonts/local.conf} and add the
378 following line just after the @code{<fontconfig>} line. (Adjust as necessary
382 <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
386 @unnumberedsubsubsec International fonts
388 On MacOs X, all fonts are installed by default. However, finding all
389 system fonts requires a bit of configuration; see
390 @uref{http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-03/msg00472.html,
391 this post} on the @code{lilypond-user} mailing list.
393 On Linux, international fonts are installed by different means on
394 every distribution. We cannot list the exact commands or packages
395 that are necessary, as each distribution is different, and the exact
396 package names within each distribution changes. Here are some
