No problem. But please keep traffic on the mailist as well, since then

For lilypond, you need to download the source from the lilypond
website. Unzip the source, then run that command.
So I look for "source" in the list of downloads?
Yes; specifically "lilypond devel source" -- it should be a number like
2.5.28
or 2.5.29.
Place in which directory (home is /u/gord; ports is in /usr/ports)
Any directory. I stick mine in $HOME/usr/src, but it could be
$HOME/src,
or anywhere.
Then I run "tar -xzvf" to unzip?
Is that right so far?
If you download a .tar.gz file, then it's "tar -xzvf". If you get a
.bz2 file,
then it's "tar -xjvf"
The command you then want me to run here is:
autoconf=autoconf259 MAKEINFO=/usr/local/bin/makeinfo ./autogen.sh \
--with-kpathsea-include=/usr/local/include/
--with-kpathsea-lib=/usr/local/lib/
Correct.
It will probably give you a bunch of errors, saying that it can't
find various programs. Find those programs in /usr/ports and install
them. When the ./autogen.sh command doesn't give you any errors,
When do I do the ./autogen.sh command? (Or is that above?)
Yes. The big command above is really just ./autogen.sh with a bunch of
extra
stuff thrown in.
Also, what directory should I be in?
And should I be root or gord?
The main lilypond dir. Let's say you download the source and stick it
in
~/src. cd to ~/src, then "tar -x{z,j}vf " to unzip it. Now cd into
that directory.
(ie ~/src/lilypond-2.5.29/ )
If you do "ls", you should see a bunch of files and directories,
including
autogen.sh. This is the place where you run that command.
do gmake all (wait an hour or so to finish) gmake install
I think I can figure that out, once I get to that point, but I don't
want to wreck something on the way.
And after I'm done, to update all my .ly files, I can just run
convert-ly [filename] [new filename] (or no new filename to return to
same name)?
To update .ly files, I'd make a backup and then do "convert-ly -e
filename". But let's
worry about compiling it first. :)
Cheers,
