You do something which looks remotely like
verb(
- configure # Check out the buildscripts/set-lily.sh script
+ configure # Check out the bin/set-lily.sh script
make
make install
)
The detailed instructions follow here. The
-file(buildscripts/set-lily.sh) script sets some environment variables
+file(bin/set-lily.sh) script sets some environment variables
and symlinks, which comes in handly when you have to compile LilyPond
very often. It is aimed at people who run (or debug) LilyPond without
installing.

+GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the
+following:
itemize(
it()TeX
Ghostscript installed.
)
+
+For running LilyPond successfully you have to help TeX and MetaFont
+find various files. The recommended way of doing so is adjusting the
+environment variables in the start-up scripts of your shell. An
+example is given here for the Bourne shell:
+verb(export MFINPUTS="/usr/local/share/lilypond/mf:"
+export TEXINPUTS="/usr/local/share/lilypond/tex:"
+)
+The empty path component
+represents TeX() and MetaFont's default search paths. Scripts with
+the proper paths for the bourne and C-shell respectively are generated in
+file(bin/out/lilypond-profile) and
+file(bin/out/lilypond-login) during compilation.

+Building the website requires pnmtopng. The version of file(pnmtopng)
+that is distributed with RedHat 5.1 contains a bug (pnmtopng is
+dynamically linked to the wrong version of libpng). Recompile it from
+source, and make sure that the pnmtopng binary is linked statically to
+the libpng that is included in libgr.
+
+verb( tar xzf libgr-2.0.13.tar.gz
+ make
+ cd png
+ rm libpng.so*
+ make pnmtopng
+)
+
+You can then install the new pnmtopng into /usr/local/bin/

sect(CONFIGURING and COMPILING)
to install GNU LilyPond, simply type:
verb(
- configure --enable-tex-dir=XXXX --enable-mf-dir=YYYY
+ configure
make
make install
)
/usr/local/bin/mi2mu
/usr/local/share/lilypond/*
/usr/local/share/locale/{it,nl}/LC_MESSAGES/lilypond.mo
- /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/lilypond/*
)
-You should specify directories that are in TeX()'s and MetaFont's
-include path with the options (--enable-tex-dir) and
-bf(--enable-mf-dir). If you don't specify any directories, the TeX()
-include directory is detected dynamically, which is unreliable. 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:
+The above assumes that you are root and have the GNU development

+adjust your environment variables to your taste:
verb(
export CPPFLAGS="-I /home/me/my_include -DWEIRD_FOOBAR"
In this case, you will have to set up MFINPUTS, and TEXINPUTS accordingly.
-If you want to install GNU LilyPond in file(/usr/local), and your TeX has
-no default hooks for local stuff, you can do:
-
-verb(
- configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-tex-prefix=/usr/lib/texmf
-)
-
Since GNU LilyPond currently is beta, you are advised to also use
verb(
--enable-checking
)
-Other options include:
+Options to configure include:
description(
-dit(bf(--enable-shared))
- Make a shared library (gnu/linux, solaris (?) only ) (TEMPORARILY
-OUT OF ORDER)
-
+dit(bf(--enable-guile))
+ Link in GUILE (experimental)
dit(bf(--enable-printing))
Enable debugging print routines (lilypond bf(-D) option)
dit(bf(--enable-optimise))
- Set maximum optimisation: compile with bf(-O2)
+ Set maximum optimisation: compile with bf(-O2). This can be
+unreliable on some compiler/platform combinations (eg, DEC Alpha and PPC)
dit(bf(--enable-profiling))
Compile with support for profiling.
-dit(bf(--enable-tex-prefix))
- Set the directory where TeX and Metafont live.
-dit(bf(--enable-tex-dir))
- Set then directory TeX input is in (detected as a subdir of
- tex-prefix). This should be a directory that is reachable both for
- tex and latex. On my system the best choice would be
- file(/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/generic//).
-dit(bf(--enable-mf-dir))
- Set the directory metafont input is in (idem). On my system the best
- choice would be file(/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/fonts/source/public/).
dit(bf(--enable-config))
Output to a different configuration file. Needed for multi-platform
