You need the following packages to compile Lilypond.
- * A reasonably new C++ compiler: EGCS 1.1, GCC 2.95.2 or newer.
- Check out the gcc site (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/).
+ * A reasonably new version of the GNU C++ compiler: EGCS 1.1, GCC
+ 2.95.2 or newer. Check out the gcc site
+ (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/).
- * Python 1.5, Check out the python website (http://www.python.org).
+ * Python (version 1.5 or newer). Check out the python website
+ (http://www.python.org).
- * GUILE 1.3.4 or newer, check out the GUILE webpage
+ * GUILE (version 1.4 or newer). Check out the GUILE webpage
(http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html). Version 1.4 is
recommended for better performance.
(ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry).
This package is normally included with the TeX distribution.
- * MetaPost, needed for generating PostScript fonts. Please note that
- tetex-0.4pl8 (included with Red Hat 5.x) does not include
- `mfplain.mp', which is needed for producing the scalable font
- files.
-
- If you don't have MetaPost and don't want to use PostScript
- output, then edit `mf/GNUmakefile', removing the line saying
- `PFA_FILES='.
-
* kpathsea, a library for searching (TeX) files. `kpathsea' is
usually included with your installation of TeX. You may need to
install a tetex-devel or tetex-dev package too.
./configure --without-kpathsea --enable-tfm-path=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ams/symbols
+ * pktrace 1.0 or newer, [OPTIONAL], needed for generating PostScript
+ Type1 fonts. Get it from `http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/pktrace/'.
+ You will need to install some additional packages to get pktrace
+ to work.
+
Running requirements
--------------------
* pnmtopng. The original is at in the pnmtopng FTP site
(ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/applications/pnmtopng-2.37.2.tar.gz).
- * Bibtex2html (http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/ftp/bibtex2html/), or
- Bib2html (http://www.uni-koblenz.de/ag-ki/ftp/bib2html/).
- Bibtex2html is available in debian, while bib2html is in some rpm
- based distributions. Bib2html, in turn depends on man2html for
- proper installation. man2html can be had from
- http://askdonald.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/Man2html-1.05
- (http://askdonald.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/Man2html-1.05).
-
- The website will build without bib converter utility, but you will
- not see our hypertextified bibliography.
-
* texinfo (a development release) The documentation will build with
texinfo-4.0, but if you want split html pages, you're best off
using the lates pretest version from texinfo-4.0b
For compilation on a Red Hat system you need these packages, in
addition to the those needed for running: glibc-devel, gcc-c++,
-libstdc++-devel, guile-devel, flex, bison, texinfo, tetex-devel, groff,
-libgr-progs.
+libstdc++-devel, guile-devel, flex, bison, texinfo, groff, pktrace.

Debian's TeX installation is a bit short on memory, you may want to
increase it like this:

You could also export `extra_mem_top' and `extra_mem_bot' as
environment variables if you do not want to or cannot modify
* groff, texinfo
- * bibtex2html (not in Debian 2.2)
-
* tetex-base, tetex-bin, tetex-extra, libkpathsea-dev or tetex-dev
* dpkg-dev, debhelper, fakeroot
For Debian in development ("unstable", the future 2.3 or 3.0):
- apt-get install task-debian-devel task-c++-dev \
- python-base libguile9-dev tetex-bin libkpathsea-dev \
- tetex-extra flex bison texinfo bibtex2html groff gs \
+ apt-get install binutils cpp gcc libc6-dev \
+ g++ libstdc++2.10-dev \
+ python-base libguile-dev tetex-bin libkpathsea-dev \
+ tetex-extra flex bison texinfo groff gs \
netpbm m4 gettext
And, just so that old fonts from previous versions of LilyPond won't
dpkg --purge lilypond lilypond1.3
+MacOS X
+-------
+
+ LilyPond has been built on Darwin, to be precise, on:
+ Darwin buoux.aspiratie.nl 5.3 Darwin Kernel Version 5.3: Thu Jan 24
+ 22:06:02 PST 2002; root:xnu/xnu-201.19.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
+
+ using:
+
+ Apple Computer, Inc. version gcc-932.1, based on gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
+
+ To make sure you have all packages needed to build LilyPond
+installed, run as root:
+
+ apt-get install bash python guile debianutils flex bison texinfo \
+ ghostscript6 netpbm m4 gettext
+
+ and:
+
+ fink install tetex
+
+ For more information about `apt-get' and `fink', see
+fink.sourceforge.net (http://fink.sf.net).
+
+ Then, configure, patch, make and install LilyPond using these
+commands:
+
+ CC="cc -I/sw/include" CXX="c++ -I/sw/include" LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" \
+ ./configure --prefix=/sw
+ make -C lily out/parser.hh out/parser.cc out/config.h
+ patch -p0 < darwin.patch
+ make -C lily out/parser.o
+ make DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT=/dev/null all
+ make install
+
+ For installing, you must be root, of course.
+
Problems
========
Note that this is fixed in Debian/unstable for flex >= 2.5.4a-13.
+Linux-2.4.0, Guile-1.4 -with-threads
+------------------------------------
+
+ There's a bug in certain kernels around version 2.4.0, that is
+triggered when using Guile 1.4 compiled with pthreads. You'll see
+random segmentation fault crashes of LilyPond. Upgrade to a newer
+version of Linux. If you can't do that, you may try to recompiling
+Guile without threads (YMMV):
+
+ guile-1.4$ ./configure --without-threads; make all install
+
