+INSTALL - compiling and installing GNU LilyPond
+***********************************************
- The detailed instructions follow here.
+ This document describes how to build LilyPond on Unix platforms. It
+is also known to run and compile on Windows NT/95/98 as well. More
+information on this topic can be found at the LilyPond on Windows page
+(http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/).
-PREREQUISITES
- For compilation you need.
+Downloading
+===========
- o A GNU system: GNU LilyPond is known to run on these
- GNU systems: Linux (PPC, intel), FreeBSD, AIX,
- NeXTStep, Digital Unix and Solaris.
+ Even numbered versions are `stable'. The webpages for the stable
+version (1.2) reside on the GNU servers
+(http://www.gnu.org/software/lilypond). Big enhancements go into the
+latest odd numbered version (1.3), whose webpages are on the lilypond
+site (http://www.lilypond.org/).
- 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.
+Source code
+-----------
- o GNU C++ v2.7 or better, with libg++ installed.
- Version 2.7.2 or better recommended.
+ If you want to compile LilyPond from source, download here:
+ * Download development releases from
+ `ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/' by FTP and
+ `http://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/', by HTTP.
- o GNU make.
+ * `ftp://sca.uwaterloo.ca/pub/' by FTP (Canadian mirror)
- o Flex (2.5.1 or better).
+ * at `lilypond.org' `ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/' by FTP and
+ `http://www.lilypond.org/ftp/' by HTTP.
- o Bison. (Version 1.25 or better)
+ 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.
-RUNNING
- GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation
- you need the following:
+ For Red Hat Linux and SuSE Linux, `.spec' files are included in the
+tarball; see instructions below.
- o TeX
+Precompiled binaries
+--------------------
- 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.
+ If you want to track bleeding edge development, try:
-RECOMMENDED
- Although not strictly necessary, these are recommended to
- have.
+ * 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
- o Perl-5. Most documentation was created with the
- perl's Plain Old Documentation. (I use 5.003)
+ * 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/)
+ * SuSE (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/SuSE)
-28/Jan/98 LilyPond 0.1.45 1
+ * LinuxPPC (ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/linuxppc/)
+ * Windows (http://www.lilypond.org/gnu-windows/)
+Upgrading
+---------
+ There are two options for upgrading sources.
+ * if you have an unpacked source tree of a previous version, you may
+ the patches.
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+ _If you upgrade by patching do remember to rerun autoconf after
+ applying the patch_.
+ * if you have the `.tar.gz' file of a previous release, you can use
+ xdelta (ftp://ftp.xcf.berkeley.edu/pub/xdelta/). This is much
+ safer than using patches, and is the recommended way.
- o Python. Although perl is nice, python is better. We
- will shift towards python for build scripts
+ The following command produces `lilypond-1.4.3.tar.gz' from
+ `lilypond-1.4.2.tar.gz' identical (up to compression dates) to the
+ .3 on the FTP site.
+ xdelta patch lilypond-1.4.2-1.4.3.xd lilypond-1.4.2.tar.gz
- o GNU find
+Requirements
+============
- 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)
+Compilation
+-----------
-CONFIGURING and COMPILING
- to install GNU LilyPond, simply type:
+ You need the following packages to compile Lilypond.
- configure
- make install
+ * 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/).
- This will install the following files:
+ * Python 1.5, Check out the python website (http://www.python.org).
- /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/*
+ * GUILE 1.3.4 or newer, check out the GUILE webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html). Version 1.4 is
+ recommended for better performance.
- 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:
+ * GNU Make. Check out the GNU make FTP directory
+ (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/).
- export CPPFLAGS="-I /home/me/my_include -DWEIRD_FOOBAR"
- configure
+ * Flex (version 2.5.4a or newer). Check out the Flex webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/).
- CPPFLAGS are the preprocessor flags.
+ * Bison (version 1.25 or newer). Check out the bison webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/)
- the configure script is Cygnus configure, and it will
- accept --help. If you are not root, you will probably have
- to make it with
+ * TeX.
- configure --prefix=/home/me_myself_and_I/
+ TeX is used as an output backend.
- In this case, you will have to set MFINPUTS, and TEXINPUTS
- accordingly.
+ Also, TeX's libkpathsea is used to find the fonts (`.mf', `.afm',
+ `.tfm'). Make sure you have tetex 1.0 or newer (1.0.6 is known to
+ work). You may need to install a tetex-devel or tetex-dev package
+ too.
- 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:
+ * Texinfo (version 4.0 or newer). The documentation of lily is
+ written in texinfo. Check out the texinfo FTP directory
+ (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/).
- configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-tex-prefix=/usr/lib/texmf
+ * The geometry package for LaTeX is needed to use ly2dvi. It is
+ available at the FTP directory for `geometry'
+ (ftp://ftp.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry).
+ This package is normally included with the TeX distribution.
+ * 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.
+ In the very unlikely case that kpathsea is not available for your
+ platform (ie, you're not running GNU/Linux, Windows, or any recent
+ UNIX), you can compile LilyPond without kpathsea support. In that
+ case, you'll probably have to indicate where TeX's tfm files live.
+ Invoke configure something like:
-28/Jan/98 LilyPond 0.1.45 2
+ ./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='.
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+Running requirements
+--------------------
- Since GNU LilyPond currently is beta, you are advised to
- also use
+ GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the
+following software
- --enable-debugging
- --enable-checking
+ * TeX.
- other options include:
+ * Xdvi and Ghostscript
- --enable-shared
- Make a shared library (gnu/linux, solaris (?) only )
+ * GUILE 1.3.4, or newer. Check out the GUILE webpage
+ (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile.html)
- --enable-printing
- Enable debugging print routines (lilypond -d option)
+ 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. Appropriate
+Csh and bourne sh scripts are left in
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile' and
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-login' after compilation.
- --enable-optimise
- Set maximum optimisation: compile with -O2
+ LilyPond is a big and slow program. A fast CPU and plenty of RAM is
+recommended for comfortable use.
- --enable-profiling
- Compile with support for profiling
+Website requirements
+--------------------
- --enable-tex-prefix
- Set the directory where TeX and Metafont live
+ The documentation comes in the form of a website. You can view this
+website on the internet, but you can also build it locally. This process
+requires a successful compile of lilypond. The website is built by
+issuing
- --enable-tex-dir
- Set then directory TeX input is in (detected as a
- subdir of tex-prefix)
+ make web-doc
- --enable-mf-dir
- Set the directory mf input is in (idem)
+ Building the website requires some additional tools:
- --enable-out-dir
- Set the directory for machine generated output.
+ * xpmtoppm (from the netpbm package: the Portable Bitmap Utilities).
+ The original is at the netpbm FTP site
+ (ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/netpbm-1mar1994.p1.tar.gz)
- All options are documented in the configure help The
- option --enable-optimise is recommended for Real Life
- usage.
+ * pnmtopng. The original is at in the pnmtopng FTP site
+ (ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/applications/pnmtopng-2.37.2.tar.gz).
- If you do
+ * 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).
- make all
+ The website will build without bib converter utility, but you will
+ not see our hypertextified bibliography.
- 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).
+ * 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
+ (ftp://texinfo.org/texinfo/pretests/texinfo-4.0b.tar.gz) or
+ texinfo-4.0b (ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo-4.0b.tar.gz)
- Building for multiple hosts
+Building LilyPond
+==================
- LilyPond does not follow the GNU standards when it comes
- to configuring and making Makefiles. In LilyPond, make
- generates all output in output directories (called out/,
- by default). You can have multiple compiles from the same
- source-tree, by overriding the setting for the output
- directory.
+ to install GNU LilyPond, type:
+ gunzip -c lilypond-x.y.z | tar xf -
+ cd lilypond-x.y.z
+ ./configure # run with --help to see appropriate options
+ make
+ make install
+ sh buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh
+ If you are doing an upgrade, you should remove all `feta' `.pk' and
+`.tfm' files. A script has been provided to do the work for you, see
+`buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh'.
+ If you are not root, you should choose a `--prefix' argument that
+points into your home directory, eg.
-28/Jan/98 LilyPond 0.1.45 3
+ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
+ In this case, you have to insert the contents of
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-login' or
+`buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile' into your start up scripts by hand.
+Configuring for multiple platforms
+----------------------------------
+ If you want to build multiple versions of LilyPond with different
+configuration settings, you can use the `--enable-config=CONF' option
+of configure. You should use `make conf=CONF' to generate the output
+in `out-CONF'. Example: suppose I want to build with and without
+profiling. Then I'd use the following for the normal build,
+ ./configure --prefix=~ --enable-checking
+ make
+ make install
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+ and for the profiling version, I specify a different configuration.
- Example: on my system, I do debugging and lots compiling.
- For this I use the configuration as follows:
+ ./configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=prof --disable-checking
+ make conf=prof
+ make conf=prof install
- configure --prefix=~ --enable-debugging --enable-printing --enable-checking
- make all
+Emacs mode
+==========
- and I want to do profiling. For that I use
+ An Emacs mode for entering music and running LilyPond is included
+with the source archive as `lilypond-mode.el' and
+`lilypond-font-lock.el'. You should install these files somewhere in
+your LOAD-PATH. If you have installed a precompiled LilyPond package,
+these files can be found in `/usr/share/doc/lilypond-x.y.z/'.
- configure --prefix=~ --enable-debugging --disable-printing\
- --disable-checking --enable-profiling --enable-optimise\
- --enable-out-dir=out-profile
+ Add this to your `~/.emacs' or `~/.emacs.el', or install this file
+in Emacs' `site-start.d':
+ ;;; lilypond-init.el --- Startup code for LilyPond mode
+
+ (load-library "lilypond-mode.el")
+ (setq auto-mode-alist
+ (cons '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode) auto-mode-alist))
+ (add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
- make OUTDIR_NAME=out-profile all
+ If you have the latest LilyPond-1.4.x Debian package, LilyPond-mode
+is automatically loaded, you not even need to modify your `~/.emacs'
+file.
- These two commands build two entirely separate versions of
- LilyPond. In Real Life, you would probably also want to
- have two different prefixes. On my machine this is no
- problem; I never do make install. My prefix dirs are
- linked back to my source directory.
+Compiling for distributions
+===========================
-INSTALLING
- If you have done a successful make, then a simple
+Red Hat Linux
+-------------
- make install
+ Red Hat 7.0 i386 RPMS are available from
+`ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/'.
- should do the trick.
+ You can also compile them yourself. A spec file is in
+`make/out/lilypond.redhat.spec'. This file is distributed along with
+the sources. You can make the rpm by issuing
- 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.
+ tar xfz lilypond-x.y.z.tar.gz
+ rpm -bb lilypond-x.y.z/make/out/lilypond.redhat.spec
+ rpm -i /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/lilypond-x.y.z
-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.
+ For running on a Red Hat system you need these packages: guile,
+tetex, tetex-latex, tetex-dvips, libstdc++, python, ghostscript.
- o Perl5.003 and Perl5.004 use different syntax for
- pod2html.
+ 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.
-EXAMPLE
- This is what I type in my xterm:
+LinuxPPC
+--------
- lilypond someinput.ly
- tex someinput.tex
- xdvi someinput&
+ Some LinuxPPC RPMS should available from
+`ftp://ftp.cs.uu.nl/pub/GNU/LilyPond/binaries/'.
- This is what the output looks like over here:
+ A LinuxPPC RPM can be made using the `lilypond.redhat.spec' file.
+SuSE
+----
+ Some SUSE RPMS should available from
+`ftp://ftp.lilypond.org/pub/LilyPond/binaries/SuSE'.
+ You can also compile a RPM for SUSE yourself. A spec file is in
+`make/out/lilypond.suse.spec', see the instructions for building the
+Red Hat RPM.
+ You must have the following packages: guile tcsh tetex te_latex
+te_kpath te_mpost libpng python gpp libgpp gettext autoconf netpbm
+libnetpb gs_serv gs_lib gs_fonts guile
+Slackware
+---------
+ No precompiled packages for Slackware are available.
+ Problems have been reported with Slackware 7.0; apparently, it ships
+with a faulty compiler. Do not compile LilyPond with -O2 on this
+platform.
+Mandrake
+--------
+ Some binaries are available at rpmfind.net. Refer to
+`http://rpmfind.net/linux/mandrake/cooker/contrib/RPMS/'.
-28/Jan/98 LilyPond 0.1.45 4
+ 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
+----------------
+ A Debian package is also available. You may install it easily by
+running `apt-get' as root:
+ apt-get install lilypond lilypond-doc
+ You can also compile the .deb for Debian yourself, do:
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+ apt-get -b source lilypond
+ If you're real impatient, you may even do:
- GNU LilyPond 0.0.78 #4/FlowerLib 1.1.24 #0
- Parsing ... [/home/hw/share/lilypond/init//
- <..etc..>
- init//performer.ly]]][input/kortjakje.ly]
- Creating elements ...[8][16][24][25]
- Preprocessing elements...
- Calculating column positions ... [14][25]
- Postprocessing elements...
- TeX output to someinput.tex ...
- Creating MIDI elements ...MIDI output to someinput.midi ...
+ cd lilypond-x.y.z # a previous version
+ uscan # download and build latest directly from upstream
- hw:~/musix/spacer$ xdvi someinput&
- [1] 855
+ 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
+ +++ /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf Fri Apr 27 11:09:35 2001

+ You could also export `extra_mem_top' and `extra_mem_bot' as
+environment variables if you do not want to or cannot modify
+`/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf'.
-REDHAT LINUX
- RedHat Linux users should be able to get a RPM. A spec
- file is in make/out/lilypond.spec. You should be able to
- create an rpm as a normal user. Be sure you have a
- ~/.rpmrc, and edit the RPM-dir in Variables.make. (If you
- create the RPM as a normal user the permissions will not
- be set correctly, unfortunately)
+ Alternatively, visit
-DEBIAN GNU/LINUX
- A Debian package is also available; contact Anthony Fok
- <foka@debian.org>. The build scripts are in the
- subdirectory debian/
+ * http://packages.debian.org/lilypond
+ (http://packages.debian.org/lilypond)
-WINDOWS NT/95
- So, you're stuck with Windows, eh? Well, don't worry, you
- just need (to get) Cygnus' windows32 port of gnu
- development stuff; have a look at
- http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32.
+ * http://people.debian.org/~foka/lilypond/
+ (http://people.debian.org/~foka/lilypond/) for latest
+ semi-unofficial build of LilyPond 1.4.2 for Debian 2.2 (potato)
+ users. The official stable Debian 2.2 is stuck with the old
+ LilyPond-1.3.24. Since LilyPond-1.4 has been released, the older
+ lilypond1.3 Debian package is now obsolete.
- To make GNU LilyPond under, brr, aargh, shudder...
- windows32, well, simply type:
+ Please contact Anthony Fok <lilypond@packages.debian.org> for more
+information.
- bash configure
- make
+ The build scripts are in the subdirectory `debian/'; you can make
+the .deb by doing, for example:
- Note If you rely on broken DOS/Windows tools such as
- pkzip/WinZIP to unpack the distribution, make sure the
- entire source tree is unpacked correctly, in particular
- the empty out directories (flower/out, lib/out et. al.)
+ $ su - root
+ # dpkg --purge lilypond lilypond1.3
+ # exit
+ $ tar xzf lilypond-1.4.3.tar.gz
+ $ cd lilypond-1.4.3
+ $ dch -p -v 1.4.3-0.local.1 "Local build."
+ $ debuild -B
+ $ su - root
+ # dpkg -i ../lilypond_1.4.3*.deb
+ # exit
+ $
-MUSIXTEX
- Previous versions (before 0.1.39) used fonts from the TeX
- macro package "MusixTeX". You can still use these, but
- they are not supported. Since LilyPond's Feta font is
- much prettier, you'd be seriously misguided if you used
- them, but anyway, here are the installation instructions
- for those deprecated fonts.
+ Use command `debuild' instead of `debuild -B' if you have a very
+fast machine and want to build the HTML, PS and DVI documentation too.
+ For compilation on a Debian GNU/Linux system you need these packages,
+in addition to the those needed for running:
+ * g++, cpp, libc6-dev, libstdc++<YOUR-LIBSTDC++-VERSION-HERE>-dev
-28/Jan/98 LilyPond 0.1.45 5
+ * libguile<YOUR-LIBGUILE-VERSION-HERE>-dev
+ * make, m4, flex, bison
+ * gettext
+ * groff, texinfo
+ * bibtex2html (not in Debian 2.2)
-INSTALL(1) LilyPond documentation INSTALL(1)
+ * tetex-base, tetex-bin, tetex-extra, libkpathsea-dev or tetex-dev
+ * dpkg-dev, debhelper, fakeroot
- [obsolete] I use the MusixTeX fonts those found in
- MusixTeX T.73. Beware, the clef symbol seems to have
- changed its position in some versions, (notably Egler's,
- a.k.a. OpusTeX). The MusixTeX fonts are included in
- MusixTeX (T73 or better), which can be had from any CTAN
- site, e.g. at
+ * gs, netpbm
- ftp://ftp.shsu.edu/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/taupin
+ * pnmtopng (only in Debian 2.2; pnmtopng has been merged with netpbm
+ in Debian testing/unstable.)
- ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/taupin
+ Most of these are listed on the `Build-Depends' line in the
+`debian/control' file. To ensure the creation of the lilypond deb is
+trouble-free, we recommend that you first install the following packages
+by running \`apt-get' as root before building the package:
- ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/taupin
+ For Debian 2.2:
- You only need the contents of the mf/ subdirectory of the
- package. The primary site of the Taupin version is
- ftp://hprib.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/music_zips/musixtex.zip
+ apt-get install task-debian-devel task-c++-dev \
+ python-base libguile6-dev tetex-bin tetex-dev \
+ tetex-extra flex bison texinfo groff gs \
+ netpbm pnmtopng m4 gettext
- Install the musixtex fonts in a directory which TeX and MF
- knows (if you are root, look for a directory which
- contains the directories with AMS and CM source (*.mf)
- files. Create a subdir lilypond or musixtex and copy the
- fonts into that). Do not forget to rehash TeX (if
- applicable)
+ For Debian in development ("unstable", the future 2.3 or 3.0):
- Example: my fonts are in
- /usr/local/lib/texfonts/musixtex/, and I have a symlink
- pointing to that in
- /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/fonts/source/public/. After I copied
- the files, I ran "texhash"
+ 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 bibtex2html groff gs \
+ netpbm m4 gettext
- Andreas Egler's version of MusixTeX, now called OpusTeX,
- will also work. Andreas moved some characters around in
- the fonts, so you have to edit the definitions in
- tex/eglerdefs.tex.
+ And, just so that old fonts from previous versions of LilyPond won't
+interfere with your build, you may want to do this before the build too:
-AUTHORS
- Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@stack.nl>
+ dpkg --purge lilypond lilypond1.3
- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jan@digicash.com>
+Problems
+========
- Have fun!
+ For help and questions use <lilypond-user@gnu.org>. Please consult
+the FAQ before mailing your problems. If you find bugs, please send
+bug reports to <bug-lilypond@gnu.org>.
+ Bugs that are not fault of LilyPond are documented here.
+FLex-2.5.4a and gcc-3.0
+-----------------------
+ Flex 2.5.4a does not produce g++-3.0 compliant C++ code. To compile
+LilyPond with gcc-3.0 you may do:
+ CC=gcc-3.0 CXX=g++-3.0 ./configure --enable-config=gcc-3.0
+ make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily out-gcc-3.0/lexer.cc
+ patch -p1 < lexer-gcc-3.0.patch
+ make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily
+ Note that this is fixed in Debian/unstable for flex >= 2.5.4a-13.
+NetBSD
+------
+ * The flex precompiled in NetBSD-1.4.2 is broken. Download
+ flex-2.5.4a, build, install.
+ * The configuration of Gcc (egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1
+ release)) does not include `/usr/pkg' paths. Configure using:
+ CFLAGS='-I /usr/pkg/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/pkg/lib' ./configure
+Solaris:
+--------
+ * Sparc64/Solaris 2.6, GNU make-3.77
+ GNU make-3.77 is buggy on this platform, upgrade to 3.78.1 or
+ newer.
+ * Sparc64/Solaris 2.6, ld
+ Not yet resolved.

+AIX
+---
+
+ * AIX 4.3 ld
+
+ The following is from the gcc install/SPECIFIC file.
+ Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a
+ relocation overflow severe error when the -bbigtoc option
+ is used to link GCC-produced object files into an
+ executable that overflows the TOC. A fix for APAR IX75823
+ (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC) is
+ available from IBM Customer Support and from its
+ 27service.boulder.ibm.com website as PTF U455193.
+
+ Binutils does not support AIX 4.3 (at least through release
+ 2.9). GNU as and GNU ld will not work properly and one
+ should not configure GCC to use those GNU utilities. Use
+ the native AIX tools which do interoperate with GCC.
+
+ add -Wl,-bbigtoc to USER_LDFLAGS, ie:
+ LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' ./configure
