-@chapter INSTALL - compiling and installing GNU LilyPond
-
-
-This document describes how to build LilyPond on Unix platforms. It
-is also known to run and compile on Windows NT/95/98/ME/XP as well.
-More information on this topic can be found at the
-@uref{http://www.lilypond.org/cygwin/, LilyPond on Windows page}.
+@chapter Compiling and installing on Unix
@html
(1.5), whose webpages are on @uref{http://www.lilypond.org/,the lilypond
site}.
+Building LilyPond is an involved process. We advise to use binary
+packages if these are available for your platform.

-Of course, if your platform supports LilyPond, such as Debian GNU/Linux,
-FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD, you're encouraged to use the native build

-@subsection Upgrading
-There are two options for upgrading sources.
+@subsection Font problems
-@itemize
-@item if you have an unpacked source tree of a previous version, you
-may the patches.
+If you are upgrading from a previous version of LilyPond, be sure to
+remove all old font files. These include @file{.pk} and @file{.tfm} files
+that may be located in @file{/var/lib/texmf}, @file{/var/spool/texmf},
+@file{/var/tmp/texmf} or @file{@var{prefix}/share/lilypond/fonts/}. A
+script automating this has been included, see
+@file{buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh}.
-@emph{If you upgrade by patching do remember to rerun autoconf after
-applying the patch}.
-@item if you have the @code{.tar.gz} file of a previous release, you can
-use
-@uref{ftp://ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/xdelta/, xdelta}.
- This is much safer than using patches, and is the recommended way.
-The following command produces @file{lilypond-1.4.3.tar.gz} from
-@file{lilypond-1.4.2.tar.gz} identical (up to compression dates) to the .3
-on the FTP site.
-@example
- xdelta patch lilypond-1.4.2-1.4.3.xd lilypond-1.4.2.tar.gz

-
-Red Hat 7.x i386 RPMS are available from
-@uref{ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/}. For running on
-a Red Hat system you need these packages: guile, tetex, tetex-latex,
-tetex-dvips, libstdc++, python, ghostscript.
-
-You can also compile them yourself. A spec file is in
-@file{make/out/lilypond.redhat.spec}. This file is distributed along
-with the sources. You can make the rpm by issuing
-@example
-
- tar xfz lilypond-x.y.z.tar.gz
- rpm -bb lilypond-x.y.z/make/out/lilypond.redhat.spec
- rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lilypond-x.y.z
-
-@end example
-
-For compilation on a Red Hat system you need these packages, in
-addition to the those needed for running: glibc-devel, gcc-c++,
-libstdc++-devel, guile-devel, flex, bison, texinfo, groff, pktrace,
-netpbm-progs, autotrace, t1utils.

-@subsection Slackware
+Bugs that are not fault of LilyPond are documented here.
-No precompiled packages for Slackware are available.
+@subsection Linking to kpathsea
-Problems have been reported with Slackware 7.0; apparently, it ships
-with a faulty compiler. Do not compile LilyPond with -O2 on this
-platform.
+If kpathsea and the corresponding header files are installed in some
+directory where GCC does not search by default, for example in
+@file{/usr/local/lib/} and @file{/usr/local/include/} respectively,
+you have to explicitly tell configure where to find it. To do this:
-At least on Slackware 8.0, you have to manually specify the paths to the
-Kpathsea library, using
@itemize
@item @code{rm config.cache}
@item @code{export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/share/texmf/lib}
@item @code{export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/share/texmf/include}
@item @code{./configure}
@end itemize
+Once configure has found them, the paths are stored in
+@file{config.make} and will be used even if you don't have the
+environment variables set during make.
-@subsection Mandrake
-
-Some binaries are available at rpmfind.net. Refer to
-@uref{http://rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/contrib/RPMS/}.
-
-You can also compile a RPM for Mandrake yourself. A spec file is in
-@file{make/out/lilypond.mandrake.spec}, see the instructions for building
-the Red Hat RPM.
-
-@subsection Debian GNU/Linux
-
-A Debian package is also available. You may install it easily by running
-@command{apt-get} as root:
-@example
-
- apt-get install lilypond lilypond-doc
-@end example
-
-You can also compile the .deb for Debian yourself, do:
-@example
-
- apt-get -b source lilypond
-@end example
-
-If you're real impatient, you may even do:
-@example
-
- cd lilypond-x.y.z # a previous version
- uscan # download and build latest directly from upstream
-@end example
-

+Gcc 3.0.4 is flaky; upgrade GCC.
-Most of these are listed on the @samp{Build-Depends} line in the
-@file{debian/control} file. To ensure the creation of the lilypond deb is
-trouble-free, we recommend that you first install the following packages
-by running \@command{apt-get} as root before building the package:
+@unnumberedsubsec Flex-2.5.4a and gcc-3.x
-For Debian 2.2:
+Flex 2.5.4a does not produce g++-3.1.1 compliant C++ code. To compile
+LilyPond with gcc-3.1.1 you may do
@example
- apt-get install task-debian-devel task-c++-dev \
- python-base libguile6-dev tetex-bin tetex-dev \
- tetex-extra flex bison texinfo groff gs \
- netpbm pnmtopng m4 gettext
+ CONF=gcc-3.1 ./lexer-gcc-3.1.sh
+ CPPFLAGS=-I$(pwd)/lily/out-gcc-3.1 CC=gcc-3.1 CXX=g++-3.1 \
+ ./configure --enable-config=gcc-3.1
+ CONF=gcc-3.1 ./lexer-gcc-3.1.sh
+ make conf=gcc-3.1
@end example
-For Debian in development ("unstable", the future 2.3 or 3.0):
-@example
- apt-get install binutils cpp gcc libc6-dev \
- g++ libstdc++2.10-dev \
- python-base libguile-dev tetex-bin libkpathsea-dev \
- tetex-extra flex bison texinfo groff gs \
- netpbm m4 gettext
-@end example
-
-And, just so that old fonts from previous versions of LilyPond won't
-interfere with your build, you may want to do this before the build too:
-
-@example
- dpkg --purge lilypond lilypond1.3
-@end example
-
-@subsection MacOS X
+@unnumberedsubsec OpenBSD
-LilyPond is available through fink, in the unstable cvs distribution.
-
-You need to:
@itemize @bullet
-@item Get the Fink package manager from @uref{http://fink.sourceforge.net}
-@item Get the Lilypond package description by enabling the "unstable" tree
-in fink and executing @command{fink selfupdate-cvs}.
+@item
+ Refer to the section ``Linking to kpathsea'': GCC on OpenBSD doesn't
+set include paths for kpathsea.
@end itemize
-Then do:
-@quotation
-@example
- fink install lilypond-unstable
-@end example
-@end quotation
-
-That's it! The command should compile and install all LilyPond
-prerequisites (python, TeX, X11, ghostscript) and then LilyPond
-itself.
-
-
-@subsubsection compiling on MacOS X
-LilyPond has been built on Darwin, to be precise, on:
-@example
- Darwin buoux.aspiratie.nl 5.3 Darwin Kernel Version 5.3: Thu Jan 24
- 22:06:02 PST 2002; root:xnu/xnu-201.19.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
-@end example
-
-using:
-
-@example
- Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-932.1, based on gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
-@end example
-
-To make sure you have all packages needed to build LilyPond installed,
-run as root:
-
-@example
- apt-get install bash python guile debianutils flex bison texinfo \
- ghostscript6 netpbm m4 gettext
-@end example
-
-and:
-
-@example
- fink install tetex
-@end example
-
-For more information about @file{apt-get} and @file{fink}, see
-@uref{http://fink.sf.net,fink.sourceforge.net}.
-
-@c brokenness of autoconf; don't ask
-Then, configure, patch, make and install LilyPond using these commands:
-
-@example
- CC="cc -I/sw/include" CXX="c++ -I/sw/include" LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" \
- ./configure --prefix=/sw
- make -C lily out/parser.hh out/parser.cc out/config.h
- patch -p0 < darwin.patch
- make -C lily out/parser.o
- make DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT=/dev/null all
- make install
-@end example
-
-For installing, you must be root, of course.

-Bugs that are not fault of LilyPond are documented here.
-
-@unnumberedsubsec FLex-2.5.4a and gcc-3.0
-
-Flex 2.5.4a does not produce g++-3.0 compliant C++ code. To compile
-LilyPond with gcc-3.0 you may do:
-
-@example
- CC=gcc-3.0 CXX=g++-3.0 ./configure --enable-config=gcc-3.0
- make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily out-gcc-3.0/lexer.cc
- patch -p1 < lexer-gcc-3.0.patch
- make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily
-@end example
-
-Note that this is fixed in Debian/unstable for flex >= 2.5.4a-13.
-
-@unnumberedsubsec Linux-2.4.0, Guile-1.4 --with-threads
-
-There's a bug in certain kernels around version 2.4.0, that is
-triggered when using Guile 1.4 compiled with pthreads. You'll see
-random segmentation fault crashes of LilyPond. Upgrade to a newer
-version of Linux. If you can't do that, you may try to recompiling
-Guile without threads (YMMV):
-
-@example
- guile-1.4$ ./configure --without-threads; make all install
-@end example
