-It is possible to compile LilyPond in a build tree different from
-the source tree, using the @option{--srcdir} option of
-@command{configure}. Note that in some cases you may need to
-remove the output of a previous @command{configure} command by
-running @command{make@tie{}distclean} in the main source directory
-before configuring the out-of-tree build:
-
-@example
-make distclean
-mkdir lily-build && cd lily-build
-@var{sourcedir}/configure --srcdir=@var{sourcedir}
-@end example
