If you - are short on disk-space run configure with --disable- - debugging. + You need the following packages to compile Lilypond. - Although we recommend to use Unix, LilyPond is known to - run on Windows NT/95/98 as well. See Section 11. + * 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 (version 1.5 or newer). Check out the python website + (http://www.python.org). -o GNU C++ version 2.7 or newer (2.8 and egcs are also - fine). + * 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. -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.). + * GNU Make. Check out the GNU make FTP directory + (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/). + * Flex (version 2.5.4a or newer).

Check out the bison webpage + (http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/) + * TeX. -GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you -need the following: + TeX is used as an output backend. + 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. -o TeX + * 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/). -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. + * 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. -4: RECOMMENDED + 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: + ./configure --without-kpathsea --enable-tfm-path=/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm/:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/ams/symbols -Although not strictly necessary, these are recommended to -have. + * pktrace, [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. -o GNU make. Check out ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of - this site. +Running requirements +-------------------- + GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the +following software -o Flex (version 2.5.4 or newer). Check out - ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of this site. + * TeX. -o Bison (version 1.25 or newer). Check out - ftp://ftp.gnu.org or any mirror of this site. + * Xdvi and Ghostscript + * GUILE 1.3.4, or newer. Check out the GUILE webpage + (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile.html) -o Python (version 1.5 or newer). Check out - ftp://ftp.python.org or ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/python. + 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. + LilyPond is a big and slow program.

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. -Han-Wen Nienhuys + add -Wl,-bbigtoc to USER_LDFLAGS, ie: + LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' ./configure -Jan Nieuwenhuizen -Have fun!
