=head1 NAME INSTALL - installing GNU LilyPond =head1 DESCRIPTION This page documents installation and compilation of GNU LilyPond =head1 IMPORTANT if you have downloaded a *.pre* version, then this is version is I meant for producing nice output, but to keep your patchsets up to date. It might not even compile. =head1 PREREQUISITES For compilation you need. =over 5 =item * Unix. GNU LilyPond is known to run on Linux, AIX, Digital Unix and Solaris If you have the Cygnus WIN32 port of the GNU utils, it will even work in Lose NT/95, but don't promise to support it. =item * GNU C++ v2.7 or better, with libg++ installed. Version 2.7.2 or better recommended. I almost positive that it will not compile with AT&T CC. =item * GNU make. =item * Flex (2.5.1 or better). =item * Bison. (Version 1.25 or better) =back =head1 RECOMMENDED =over 5 =item * Perl. Most scripts are written in Perl. The documentation was created with the perl's Plain Old Documentation. =item * (GNU) find =back =head1 CONFIGURING and COMPILING to install GNU LilyPond, simply type: configure make install This will install the following files: /usr/local/man/man1/lilypond.1 /usr/local/lib/libflower.{so,a} /usr/local/bin/lilypond /usr/local/bin/mi2mu /usr/local/share/lilypond/* /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/lilypond/* The TeX include directory is detected dynamically, but it can be adjusted with B<--enable-tex-prefix> and B<--enable-tex-dir>. The above assumes that you are root and have the gnu development tools, and your make is gnu make. If this is not the case, you can adjust your environment variables to your taste: export CPPFLAGS="-I /home/me/my_include -DWEIRD_FOOBAR" configure C are the preprocessor flags. the configure script is Cygnus configure, and it will accept B<--help>. If you are not root, you will probably have to make it with configure --prefix=/home/me_myself_and_I/ In this case, you will have to set MFINPUTS, and TEINPUTS accordingly. If you want to install GNU LilyPond in F, and your TeX has no default hooks for local stuff (mine is broken too), you can do: configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-tex-prefix=/usr/lib/texmf Since GNU LilyPond currently is beta, you are advised to also use --enable-debugging --enable-checking other options include: --enable-shared --enable-printing --enable-optimise --enable-profiling --enable-tex-prefix --enable-tex-dir All options are documented in the F help The option B<--enable-optimise> is recommended for Real Life usage. If you do make all everything will be compiled, but nothing will be installed. The resulting binaries can be found in the subdirectory F. =head1 INSTALLING If you have done a successful C, then a simple make install should do the trick. [todo] Install the musixtex fonts in a directory which TeX and MF knows (if you are root, look for a directory which contains the directories with AMS and CM source (*.mf) files. Create a subdir lilypond or musixtex and copy the fonts into that). Do not forget to rehash TeX (if applicable) Example: my fonts are in F, and I have a symlink pointing to that in F =head1 CAVEATS =over 5 =item * The -O2 option to gcc triggers a gcc bug on DEC Alpha in dstream.cc. You should turn off this flag for this file. =back =head1 RUNNING GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the following: =over 5 =item * A fast computer (a full page of music typically takes 1 minute on my 486/66, using the B<--enable-checking> compile. It's lot slower than most MusiXTeX preprocessors) =item * TeX =item * The MusixTeX fonts. (I use those found in MusixTeX T.59). Beware, the clef symbol has changed position in recent versions of MusixTeX) =back Please refer to the man page for more information. =head1 REDHAT LINUX RedHat Linux users should be able to get a RPM. A spec file is in F. You should be able to create an rpm as a normal user. Be sure you have a ~/.rpmrc, and edit the RPM-dir in F =head1 WINDOZE Windows NT: you need the cygnus win32 gnu port development stuff; have a look at http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32. to make GNU LilyPond under, brr, aargh, well, simply type: bash configure make win32 =head1 PLATFORMS GNU LilyPond (pl 0.0.39) is known to compile on the following platforms: * linux 2.0.x, g++ 2.7.2[.1] * aix 4.1, g++ 2.7.2 * windows-nt 4.0, cygnus gnu-win32 beta17.1 (~=g++ 2.7.2) * linux 2.0.28 X to doze, gcc-go32 (~=g++ 2.7.2) [exec. untested] =head1 AUTHORS Han-Wen Nienhuys Jan Nieuwenhuizen Have fun!
