- GNU systems: Linux (PPC, intel), FreeBSD, AIX,
- NeXTStep, IRIX, Digital Unix and Solaris.
- If you have the Cygnus WINDOWS32 port of the GNU
- utils, it will even work in Windows NT/95, but we
- don't promise to support it.

- o Python
-RUNNING
- GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation
- you need the following:
+1: ABSTRACT
- o TeX
- o A PostScript printer and/or viewer (such as
- Ghostscript) is strongly recommended. Xdvi will show
- all embedded PostScript too if you have Ghostscript
- installed.
+You do something which looks remotely like
-RECOMMENDED
- Although not strictly necessary, these are recommended to
- have.
- o GNU make.
- o Flex (version 2.5.4 or newer).
- o Bison (version 1.25 or newer).
- o Perl-5. Most documentation was created with the
- perl's Plain Old Documentation. (I use 5.003)
+ configure # Check out the buildscripts/set-lily.sh script
+ make
+ make install
-6/May/98 LilyPond 0.1.62 1
+The detailed instructions follow here. The build-
+scripts/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.
+2: PREREQUISITES
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+For compilation you need:
- o Python. Although perl is nice, python is better. We
- will shift towards python for build scripts
- o GNU find
+o A GNU system: GNU LilyPond is known to run on these GNU
+ systems: Linux (PPC, intel), FreeBSD, AIX, NeXTStep,
+ IRIX, Digital Unix and Solaris.
- o A fast computer (a full page of music typically takes
- 1 minute on my 486/133, using the --enable-checking
- compile. It's lot slower than most MusiXTeX
- preprocessors)
-CONFIGURING and COMPILING
- to install GNU LilyPond, simply type:
+o Lots of disk space: LilyPond takes between 50 and 100
+ mb to compile if you use debugging information. If you
+ are short on disk-space run configure with --disable-
+ debugging.
- configure
- make
- make install
+ Although we recommend to use Unix, LilyPond is known to
+ run on Windows NT/95/98 as well. See Section 11.
- This will install the following files:
- /usr/local/man/man1/mi2mu.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/convert-mudela.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/mudela-book.1
- /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/*
+o GNU C++ version 2.7 or newer (2.8 and egcs are also
+ fine).
- The TeX include directory is detected dynamically, but it
- can be adjusted with --enable-tex-prefix and --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:
+o Python 1.5 (Strictly speaking, you shouldn't need
+ Python for compiling and installing, but you'll need it
+ to regenerate the font tables, e.g.).
- export CPPFLAGS="-I /home/me/my_include -DWEIRD_FOOBAR"
- configure
- CPPFLAGS are the preprocessor flags.
+3: RUNNING
- the configure script is Cygnus configure, and it will
- accept --help. If you are not root, you will probably have
- to make it with
- configure --prefix=/home/me_myself_and_I/
+GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you
+need the following:
- In this case, you will have to set MFINPUTS, and TEXINPUTS
- accordingly.
- If you want to install GNU LilyPond in /usr/local, and
- your TeX has no default hooks for local stuff (mine is
- broken too), you can do:
+o TeX
+o A PostScript printer and/or viewer (such as
+ Ghostscript) is strongly recommended. Xdvi will show
+ all embedded PostScript too if you have 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:
-6/May/98 LilyPond 0.1.62 2
+ export MFINPUTS="/usr/local/share/lilypond/mf:"
+ export TEXINPUTS="/usr/local/share/lilypond/tex:"
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+The empty path component represents and MetaFont's default
+search paths. Scripts with the proper paths for the bourne
+and C-shell respectively are generated in build-
+scripts/out/lilypond-profile and buildscripts/out/lilypond-
+login during compilation.
- configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-tex-prefix=/usr/lib/texmf
- Since GNU LilyPond currently is beta, you are advised to
- also use
+4: RECOMMENDED
- --enable-debugging
- --enable-checking
- other options include:
+Although not strictly necessary, these are recommended to
+have.
- --enable-shared
- Make a shared library (gnu/linux, solaris (?) only )
- --enable-printing
- Enable debugging print routines (lilypond -d option)
+o GNU make. Check out ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of
+ this site.
- --enable-optimise
- Set maximum optimisation: compile with -O2
- --enable-profiling
- Compile with support for profiling
+o Flex (version 2.5.4 or newer). Check out
+ ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of this site.
- --enable-tex-prefix
- Set the directory where TeX and Metafont live
+o Bison (version 1.25 or newer). Check out
+ ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of this site.
- --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
- /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/generic//.
- --enable-mf-dir
- Set the directory mf input is in (idem). On my
- system the best choice would be
- /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/fonts/source/public/.
+o GUILE (version 1.2) Check out http://www.gnu.org/pro-
+ grams/guile.html
- --enable-config
- Output to different configuration files. Needed for
- multi-platform builds
- All options are documented in the configure help The
- option --enable-optimise is recommended for Real Life
- usage.
+o Python (version 1.5 or newer). Check out
+ ftp://ftp.python.org or ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/python.
- If you do
- make all
+o Yodl. All documentation will be in Yodl. (1.30.17)
+ ftp://pcnov095.win.tue.nl/pub/yodl
+ http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/yodl
- everything will be compiled, but nothing will be
- installed. The resulting binaries can be found in the
- subdirectories out/ (which contain all files generated
- during compilation).
+o Texinfo. (version 3.12 or newer)
+o GNU find Check out ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of
+ this site.
-6/May/98 LilyPond 0.1.62 3
+o The geometry package for LaTeX is needed to use ly2dvi.
+ Available at ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-
+ archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry or at
+ mirror site ftp://ftp.dante.de
+o A fast computer (a full page of music typically takes 1
+ minute on my 486/133, using the --enable-checking com-
+ pile. It's lot slower than most MusiXTeX preprocessors)
+5: WEBSITE
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+If you want to auto-generate Lily's website, you'll need
+some additional conversion tools.
-CONFIGURING FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
- If you want to compile LilyPond with different
- configuration settings, then, you can use the --enable-
- config option. Example: suppose I want to build with and
- without profiling. Then I'd use the following for the
- normal build,
- configure --prefix=~ --disable-optimise --enable-checking
- make
- make install
+o xpmtoppm (from the Portable Bitmap Utilities) (For Red-
+ Hat Linux users: it is included within the package
+ libgr-progs).
- and for the profiling version, I specify a different
- configuration.
+o Bib2html http://pertsserver.cs.uiuc.edu/~hull/bib2html.
+ Which, in turn depends on man2html for proper installa-
+ tion. man2html can be had from http://askdon-
+ ald.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/hppd/hpux/Network-
+ ing/WWW/Man2html-1.05.
- configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=optprof --enable-optimise --disable-checking
- make configuration=optprof
- make configuration=optprof install
+ TeTeX users should not forget to rerun texhash.
+Building the website requires pnmtopng. The version of pnm-
+topng 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
-INSTALLING
- If you have done a successful make, then a simple
- make install
+included in libgr.
- should do the trick.
- If you are doing an upgrade, please remember to remove
- obsolete .pk and .tfm files of the fonts. A script has
- been provided to do the work, see bin/clean-fonts.sh.
-CAVEATS
- o The -O2 option to gcc triggers a gcc bug on DEC Alpha
- in dstream.cc. You should turn off this flag for this
- file.
- o Perl5.003 and Perl5.004 use different syntax for
- pod2html.
-EXAMPLE
- This is what I type in my xterm:
+ 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/
+
+
+6: CONFIGURING and COMPILING
+
+
+to install GNU LilyPond, simply type:
+
+
+
+
+
+ configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+
+
+
+
+This will install a number of files, something close to:
+
+
+
+
+
+ /usr/local/man/man1/mi2mu.1
+ /usr/local/man/man1/convert-mudela.1
+ /usr/local/man/man1/mudela-book.1
+ /usr/local/man/man1/lilypond.1
+ /usr/local/bin/lilypond
+ /usr/local/bin/mi2mu
+ /usr/local/share/lilypond/*
+ /usr/local/share/locale/{it,nl}/LC_MESSAGES/lilypond.mo
+
+
+The above assumes that you are root and have the GNU devel-
+opment 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
+
+
+
+
+
+CPPFLAGS are the preprocessor flags.
+
+The configure script is Cygnus configure, and it will accept
+--help. If you are not root, you will probably have to make
+it with a different --prefix option. Our favourite location
+is
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
- lilypond someinput.ly
- tex someinput.tex
- xdvi someinput&
- This is what the output looks like over here:
+In this case, you will have to set up MFINPUTS, and TEXIN-
+PUTS accordingly.
+Since GNU LilyPond currently is beta, you are advised to
+also use
+ --enable-debugging
+ --enable-checking
-6/May/98 LilyPond 0.1.62 4
