+Source code
-----------
If you want to compile LilyPond from source, download here:
* at `lilypond.org' `ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/' by FTP and
`http://www.lilypond.org/ftp/' by HTTP.
-Binaries
---------
+ Of course, if your platform supports LilyPond, such as Debian
+GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD, you're encouraged to use the
+native build from source drill.
+
+ For Red Hat Linux and SuSE Linux, `.spec' files are included in the
+tarball; see instructions below.
+
+Precompiled binaries
+--------------------
+
+ If you want to track bleeding edge development, try:
- Binaries are available, but are not updated for every version
+ * Debian GNU/Linux
+ (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lilypond/) usually has
+ the latest binaries for the most useful stable and development
+ versions, while
+
+ * Mandrake Cooker
+ (http://rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/contrib/RPMS/) also
+ provides fairly recent versions.
+
+ Binaries are made available for other popular platforms, but as we
+need to compile them ourselves, they are not updated for every version
released.
+
* Red Hat i386
(ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/RedHat/RPMS/)
- * LinuxPPC (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/linuxppc/)
-
- * Debian GNU/Linux
- (ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/lilypond/)
+ * SuSE (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/SuSE)
- * Windows Testing (http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/)
+ * LinuxPPC (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/linuxppc/)
+ * Windows (http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/)
Upgrading
---------
(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, [OPTIONAL], needed for generating PostScript Type1 fonts.
+ Get it from `http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/pktrace/'
+
+ * autotrace-0.27a, [OPTIONAL], needed for generating PostScript Type1
+ fonts. `http://autotrace.sourceforge.net'.
+
+ * MetaPost [OPTIONAL] needed for generating PostScript Type3 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='.
+
Running requirements
--------------------
libstdc++-devel, guile-devel, flex, bison, texinfo, tetex-devel, groff,
libgr-progs.
- Warning
-
- There appears to be a problem with the Xdvi shipped with Red Hat 7.1.
-Symptoms: Xdvi responds very sluggishly or hangs while viewing lilypond
-output. The cause for this problem is unknown; you are advised to
-recompile Xdvi from source.
-
LinuxPPC
--------
--------
Some binaries are available at rpmfind.net. Refer to
-`ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/contrib/RPMS/'.
+`http://rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/contrib/RPMS/'.
+
+ You can also compile a RPM for Mandrake yourself. A spec file is in
+`make/out/lilypond.mandrake.spec', see the instructions for building
+the Red Hat RPM.
Debian GNU/Linux
----------------
apt-get install lilypond lilypond-doc
+ You can also compile the .deb for Debian yourself, do:
+
+ apt-get -b source lilypond
+
+ If you're real impatient, you may even do:
+
+ cd lilypond-x.y.z # a previous version
+ uscan # download and build latest directly from upstream
+
Debian's TeX installation is a bit short on memory, you may want to
increase it like this:
--- /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.dpkg Sun Jan 28 14:12:14 2001
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 \
+ apt-get install binutils cpp gcc libc6-dev \
+ g++ libstdc++2.10-dev \
+ python-base libguile-dev tetex-bin libkpathsea-dev \
