Hi,
Is there an (easy) way to have both lilypond 2.12.x (stable)
and lilypond 2.13.x (devel.) installed and useable on my
system ? I'm always curious to try and test the latest
features and bugfixes, but for distribution and sharing of
lilypond sourcecode it is probably a better idea to use the
stable release.
I'm running linux fedora 12.
I added a section about this to the Contributor's Guide a while back.
Here's a link:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/concurrent-stable-and-development-versions#concurrent-stable-and-development-versions
An alternative, in case you don't compile LilyPond yourself, is to
install the two versions at two different locations, for example in
~/2.12 and ~/2.13, using:
sh lilypond-2.12.3-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix=$HOME/2.12
sh lilypond-2.13.9-1.linux-x86.sh --prefix=$HOME/2.13
Then, you could either call lilypond using the full path,
~/2.12/bin/lilypond or you could set the $PATH in one shell to include
$HOME/2.12/bin and in another shell to include $HOME/2.13/bin (you can
easily define an alias that adds the corresponding path).
