Thank you for that. Yes, I should have noticed that the contents of
the tar file were not source code. As it is, though, I'm not entirely
sure what to do with it - I guess that I put it all in a folder
somewhere and then make a link to bin/lilypond.
You just extract it somewhere and it becomes usable as
/.../lilypond-2.23.10/bin/lilypond file.ly
If you want to invoke it as "lilypond file.ly" without typing
the full path, you have to add the /.../lilypond-2.23.10/bin
directory to your PATH. One way to do so is to add this line
to your shell startup file (probably ~/.bashrc):
export PATH=/.../lilypond-2.23.10/bin:$PATH
That said, if you're using Frescobaldi, this is not needed.
Go to Edit > Preferences > LilyPond Preferences and add the
new version, providing /.../lilypond-2.23.10/bin/lilypond as
the executable.
I don't use Frescobaldi; I normally edit Lilypond files in Emacs.
I moved the 2.23.10 folder to my home folder. I tried making soft and
hard links in my $HOME/bin folder to
$HOME/lilypond-2.23.10/bin/lilypond, but for some reason I couldn't
get it to run, even though $HOME/bin is the first item in my PATH. I
haven't yet fathomed out why this was, but I worked around it by
adding a direct reference to the folder as you suggested.
A more serious problem (for me) is that Emacs could no longer find
Lilypond mode. So I moved the new Lilypond to
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/. Emacs can now uses Lilypond mode, but can't
compile a file - it produces reams of messages (after much processing
time), mostly of the
;;; note: source file
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/2.23.10/scm/lily/display-lily.scm
;;; newer than compiled
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/lib/lilypond/2.23.10/ccache/lily/display-lily.go
kind, and then exits with
ERROR: In procedure apply-smob/1:
Wrong number of arguments to #<boot-closure 7fa410c90dc0 (_ . _)>
Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Thu Jul 14 17:21:52
I have spent some hours experimenting, but so far I haven't managed to
get things working.
Hm. Does this help?
sudo find /usr/local/lilypond/usr/lib/lilypond/2.23.10/ -name "*.go"
-exec touch {} \;
