Configure with --enable-config=foo ; this will produce config-foo.make and output in out-foo/ files > 3. everyday development process: modify source, make; test, debug; commit > locally; make download, git-rebase. I'm not sure that this is an easy approach. I mostly do development (compile + debug) in a normal tree and use GUB for building the website and output-distance measurements However target/PLATFORM/src/lilypond-master-foo/ contains a GIT repo, so you could do development there. > 4. how to submit changes: git-diff / git-push you'll want to use git-show iso. git-diff. > The main reason why I want to write this, is that I don't know how to do > everything properly (in particular I don't know how to do point 2).
