+@unnumberedsubsubsec Compiling for multiple platforms
If you want to build multiple versions of LilyPond with different
configuration settings, you can use the @code{--enable-config=CONF}
-option of configure. You should use @samp{make conf=CONF} to generate
+option of configure. You should use @code{make conf=CONF} to generate
the output in @file{out-CONF}. Example: Suppose you want to build
with and without profiling, then use the following for the normal
build

+@node Building documentation without compiling LilyPond
+@subsection Building documentation without compiling LilyPond
+
+The documentation can be built locally without compiling lilypond from
+scratch.
+
+From a fresh git checkout, do
+
+@example
+./autogen.sh % ignore any warning messages
+cp GNUmakefile.in GNUmakefile
+make -C python
+nice make LILYPOND_EXTERNAL_BINARY=/path/to/bin/lilypond web
+% change the lilypond directory as appropriate
+@end example
+
+Please note that this may break sometimes -- for example, if a new
+feature is added with a test file in input/regression, even the latest
+unstable Lily will fail to build the docs.
+
+You may build the manual ( Documentation/user/ ) without building all
+the input/* stuff.
+
+@refbugs
+
+You may also need to create a script for @command{pngtopnm} and
+@code{pnmtopng}. On Linux, I use this:
+
+@verbatim
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
+exec /usr/bin/pngtopnm "$@"
+@end verbatim
+
+On OSX, I use this:
+
+@verbatim
+export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sw/lib
+exec /sw/bin/pngtopnm "$@"
+@end verbatim
+
+In order to force make to build a complete manual (this does not
+rebuild all examples, only things which are changed), I recommend
+writing a script like this:
+
+@verbatim
+### run from Documentation/user/
+# possibly required on OSX and/or old texinfo
+# ulimit -n 4096
+if [ -e out-www/lilypond.texi ]; then rm out-www/lilypond.* ; fi;
+if [ -e out-www/lilypond-program.texi ]; then rm
+out-www/lilypond-program.* ; fi;
+if [ -e out-www/lilypond-learning.texi ]; then rm
+out-www/lilypond-learning.* ; fi;
+nice make LILYPOND_EXTERNAL_BINARY=~/usr/bin/lilypond web
+@end verbatim
+
+To rebuild the complete HTML docs, run the above script from the
+@file{Documentation/user/} directory, then run the final line (the
+@code{nice make}) from the top source dir.
