Remove @strong{all} +previous fonts, including the @file{.pk} and @file{.tfm} fonts in +@file{/var/lib/texmf} and your current directory. A script automating +this has been included, see @file{buildscripts/clean-fonts.sh}. + +@node Installation +@section Installation + +@subsection Where is guile, libguileX, guile-config? + +RedHat users need to install guile-1.4 and guile-devel-1.4, Debian +users need to get guile1.4, libguile9 and libguile9-dev. + +If you're building from source, you need guile 1.3.4 or newer. Verify +that the correct guile, guile-config, and libguile* in your PATH and +LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or @file{/etc/ld.so.conf}). + +@subsection I upgraded by applying a patch, and now my configure/build breaks. + +Patches don't include automatically generated files, i.e. +@file{configure} and files generated by @file{configure}. Regenerate them +yourself: +@example + + autoconf + configure + +@end example + +@subsection Is there an emacs mode? + +Yes. It is included with the source archive as +@file{lilypond-mode.el} and @file{lilypond-font-lock.el}. If you have +an RPM or .deb it is in @file{/usr/share/doc/lilypond-X/}. You have +to install it yourself. + +Add this to your .emacs.el: +@example + (load-library "lilypond-mode.el") + (setq auto-mode-alist + (append '(("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode) auto-mode-alist))) +@end example + + +@subsection I downloaded the windows32 port, and it doesn't match the website! + +The website is usually made from the latest snapshots. Binary releases, +in particular the windows32 binaries, are only made every once in a while. +They may lag several versions behind the latest version. + +@bye -- 2.39.5
