4.4.1 Running ./autogen.sh
After you unpack the tarball (or download the Git repository), the contents of your top source directory should be similar to the current source tree listed at http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=tree.
Next, you need to create the generated files; enter the following command from your top source directory:
./autogen.sh --noconfigure
This will generate a number of files and directories to aid configuration, such as ‘configure’, ‘README.txt’, etc.
Next, create the build directory with:
mkdir build/ cd build/
We heavily recommend building lilypond inside a separate directory with this method.
Only translators are required to build lilypond ‘in-tree’ – that
is, running ./configure
and make
commands in the
top source directory instead of ‘build/’ – otherwise
the translation helper scripts won’t work.
