you should do. If you are going to compile and install LilyPond often,
e.g. when doing development, you might want to check out the
`buildscripts/set-lily.sh' script. It sets some environment variables
-and symlinks, which comes in handy when you have to compile LilyPond

more often.

Running
=======
GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the
following software
- * TeX.
+ * TeX
* A PostScript printer and/or viewer (such as Ghostscript) is
strongly recommended. Xdvi will show all embedded PostScript
The website is the most convenient form to use for reading the
documentation on-line documentation. It is made by entering
- make htmldoc
- This does require a functioning LilyPond. The binary doesn't have
-to be installed.
+ make website
+ This does require a fully functioning
If you want to auto-generate Lily's website, you'll need some
additional conversion tools.
You can then install the new pnmtopng into `/usr/local/bin/'
- * Bib2html (http://pertsserver.cs.uiuc.edu/~hull/bib2html).
- Which, in turn depends on man2html for proper installation.
- man2html can be had from

The website will build without this utility, but you will not see
our hypertextified bibliography.
+ * Doc++ (optional) to read the source code.

Configuring and compiling
=========================
This will install a number of files, something close to:
- /usr/local/man/man1/midi2ly.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/abc2ly.1
- /usr/local/man/man1/etf2ly.1
+ /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/midi2ly
+ /usr/local/bin/mi2mu
/usr/local/bin/convert-mudela
/usr/local/bin/mudela-book
/usr/local/bin/abc2ly
- /usr/local/bin/etf2ly
/usr/local/share/lilypond/*
- /usr/local/share/locale/{....}/LC_MESSAGES/lilypond.mo
+ /usr/local/share/locale/{it,nl}/LC_MESSAGES/lilypond.mo
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
and for the profiling version, I specify a different configuration.
- ./configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=prof --enable-optimise --disable-checking
- make config=prof
- make config=prof install
+ ./configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=optprof --enable-optimise --disable-checking
+ make config=optprof
+ make config=optprof install
