GNU LilyPond does use a lot of resources. For operation you need the following:
-

Bison (version 1.25 or newer).

Perl-5. Most documentation was created with the perl's Plain Old
to install GNU LilyPond, simply type:
configure
+ make
make install
This will install the following files:
Set the directory mf input is in (idem)
+=item B<--enable-config>
+
+Output to different configuration files. Needed for multi-platform
+builds

All options are documented in the F<configure> help
resulting binaries can be found in the subdirectories F<out/> (which
contain all files generated during compilation).
+=head1 CONFIGURING FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
+
+If you want to compile LilyPond with different configuration settings,
+then, you can use the B<--enable-config> option. Example: suppose I
+want to build with and without profiling. Then I'd use the
+following for the normal build,
+
+ configure --prefix=~ --disable-optimise --enable-checking
+ make
+ make install
+
+and for the profiling version, I specify a different configuration.
+
+ configure --prefix=~ --enable-profiling --enable-config=optprof --enable-optimise --disable-checking
+ make configuration=optprof
+ make configuration=optprof install

=head1 INSTALLING
If you have done a successful C<make>, then a simple
is unpacked correctly, in particular the empty out directories
(F<flower/out>, F<lib/out> et. al.)
-=head1 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.
-
-
-[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 newer), which can be had from any
-CTAN site, e.g. at

-You only need the contents of the F<mf/> subdirectory of the
-package. The primary site of the Taupin version is
-ftp://hprib.lps.u-psud.fr/pub/music_zips/musixtex.zip
-
-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)
-
-Example: my fonts are in F</usr/local/lib/texfonts/musixtex/>, and I
-have a symlink pointing to that in
-F</usr/lib/texmf/texmf/fonts/source/public/>. After I copied the
-files, I ran "texhash"
-
-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 F<tex/eglerdefs.tex>.
