@section Testing LilyPond
Open a LilyPond shell (To open a a lilypond shell, click the "GNU
LilyPond" or "Cygwin" icon), and type
-@quotation
+
@example
lilypond --help
@end example
-@end quotation
+
You should see something similar to
-@quotation
+
@example
GNU LilyPond 1.6.0
Usage: lilypond [OPTION]... FILE...
-h,--help this help
[..]
@end example
-@end quotation
+
Then, prepare a file called @file{foo.ly}, by issuing
-@quotation
+
@example
notepad foo.ly
@end example
-@end quotation
+
Enter the following into the file
-@quotation
+
@example
\score @{ \notes @{ c4 ( ) c4 @} @}
@end example
-@end quotation
+
Close the editor and save the file. Then run the following command.
-@quotation
+
@example
ly2dvi -p foo
@end example
-@end quotation
+
At the end, it should say
-@quotation
+
@example
DVI output to `foo.dvi'...
PS output to `foo.ps'...
PDF output to `foo.pdf'...
@end example
-@end quotation
+
If you install the Cygwin's XFree86 X11 window system, tetex-x11 and
ghostscript-x11 packages too, you can view the @code{dvi} output doing
@code{xdvi test.dvi}. If you have installed a PostScript/PDF viewer,
such as @code{GSView} from @uref{http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost},
viewing the PS file can be done with:
-@quotation
+
@example
gsview32 foo.ps
@end example
-@end quotation
+
If this works, then you can head to the
@uref{../../user/out-www/lilypond/Tutorial.html,Tutorial}
-@ignore
-Hmm, this only works for 1.5.73-1 installs.
-Cygwin does not yet have an html documentation index, such as dwww.
-(@uref{file:///c/cygwin/usr/doc/lilypond-1.5.73-1/html/Documentation/user/out-www/Tutorial.html,
+@c Hmm, this only works for 1.6.5-1 installs.
+@c Cygwin does not have a proper html documentation index such as dwww
+@c Should add for debian and red hat packages too.
+(@uref{file:///c/cygwin/usr/doc/lilypond-1.6.5-1/html/Documentation/user/out-www/Tutorial.html,

to start using LilyPond.
@section Removing LilyPond
@quotation
@emph{I don't seem to be able to either change this "default" or to point
Lilypond to another directory which does not have the space.}
-@quotation
+
@example
ly2dvi:error: filename should not contain spaces: `/usr/bin/Ralph Whedon/foo'
@end example
-@end quotation
+
@emph{Any ideas what I should do?}
@end quotation
Best is to create a new home directory. Start the Cygwin or LilyPond
shell, and do:
-@quotation
+
@example
HOME=/home/ralph
mkdir -p $HOME
cd
@end example
-@end quotation
+
To go there automatically, each time you log in, edit the file
-@quotation
+
@example
/etc/passwd # windows name: c:\cygwin\etc\passwd
@end example
-@end quotation
+
using vim or wordpad, and change the `/usr/bin/Ralph Whedon/' to
`/home/ralph'.
To change folders, the usual @code{cd}
-@quotation
+
@example
cd ../.. # If you type this at startup, you should be in the root
# directory. Better do:
cd /
@end example
-@end quotation
+
You'll notice that file names in Bash are written with the slash (/),
and not the backslash (\) bar as in MS-DOS and Windows.
-@quotation
+
@example
C:\Win98\Bureau\ ---> /cygdrive/c/Win98/Bureau
@end example
-@end quotation
+
The equivalent of the MS-DOS dir command is ls -l :
-@quotation
+
@example
ls -l #You'll get the listing of the current folder.
@end example
-@end quotation
+
To copy a file, use the cp command:
-@quotation
+
@example
cp srcfile destfile
@end example
-@end quotation
+

invited to help us find the bug and fix it. You can install the
binutils package, and use objdump to find which executable depends on
the missing dll.

@example
objdump -x <path to download dir>/setup.exe | grep -i dll
objdump -x /usr/bin/awk.exe | grep -i dll
objdump -x /usr/bin/python.exe | grep -i dll

Of course, you should check what version of the offending package you
have installed (see @file{/var/log/setup.log} and
@file{/var/log/setup.log.full)}.
@subsection Check your TeX installation
Start a LilyPond shell and run

@example
dvips sample2e
@end example
-@end quotation

which produces a sample2e.ps, which you can view using @code{gsview32}.
