Comment #8 on issue 1526 by percival.music...@gmail.com: Building only
English docs
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1526
We heavily discourage in-tree builds; inexperienced contributors should
always be doing out-of-tree builds in
$LIYPOND-GIT/build/
would it be possible to add build targets so that one can do:
cd $LILYPOND-GIT
cd build/
../configure
make essay
and have it work? or maybe something like
make QUICK-DOCS="essay"
or
make quick essay learning
or ...?
I'm not sufficiently familiar with make syntax to give realistic
suggestions for the syntax. The bottom line is that we want it to be easy
for windows users to type. (well, easy for anybody to type, but I'm
using "windows users" as an example of somebody who's completely unfamiliar
with make and software development in general)
For various reasons (including coincidence), approximately 90% of doc work
in the past 3 years has been done by windows users. I'm fairly confidence
that we'll have at least 50% being done by windows users in the 1-3 year
timespan, so it makes sense to target this group with respect to the "ease
of use" of the doc build system.
