Here are the directions for installing the Linux/KDE Kate plugins (the
Lilypond plugin is included in a tarball that contains a whole lot more
syntax highlighting plugins). It is assumed that you have already
installed kate, kate-plugins (as they are called in the Debian distro)
and perl, these will most probably be included in your distro. I am
using Kate 2.5.5 using KDE 3.5.5 and perl 5.8.8.
If you do not run KDE and no other KDE programs yet, kate will need some
basic kde libs and pull them with itself when using a packet manager,
but you don't have to install the whole of KDE and can use any other
window manager as well. So, here goes:
1) Download the archive to some directory (e.g., /usr/local/src), it
seems you don't even have to throw the archive into the Kate plugin
directory (/usr/share/apps/kate/plugins/ on my machine), any dir should do:
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/
H/HA/HANJE/Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Kate-0.02.tar.gz
(paste the two lines into one)
(archive available through
http://search.cpan.org/~HANJE/Syntax-Highlight-Engine
-Kate-0.02/lib/Syntax/Highlight/Engine/Kate/LilyPond.pm
2) # tar -xvzf Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Kate-0.02.tar.gz
3) # cd Syntax-Highlight-Engine-Kate-0.02
3a) perhaps # less README
4) or immediately do
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make install
5) open kate # kate
6) got to Settings - Configure Kate - Editor - Highlighting and
7) update some plugins by clicking Download and let the editor download
updated plugins (lilypond is current at this time)
8) under Settings - Configure Kate - Editor - Open/Save you can select
the font encoding, e.g. unicode utf8 if necessary
8a) Open # kcharselect if special characters are needed
9) under Settings - Configure Kate - Applications - Plugins you may want
to activate the tab plugin and the snippet plugin (tab for snippet
window appears on the left side of the Kate window; can also be
activated by clicking Window - Tool Views - Show/Hide Snippets
10) Open or create a *.ly file.
11) Click the Snippets tab on the left side of Kate: Now you can create
code snippets in the snippet window
12) In the Settings you can even define a script that could do whatever
you want to your file, or under "View" you can switch on a command line,
or, what I usually do, you can use the tab "Terminal" at the bottom edge
of the Kate window: There you can use a resizeable terminal window that
opens in the pwd, e.g. for running
# lilypond filename.ly && xpdf filename.pdf
"Enjoy"
(I guess I should put this on a web page - or are the instructions
something for a lilypond.org sub-page?)
