Hi folks,
after a lot of copying around & placing shell scripts etc. pp., Lily still does
not run on my system. It delivers error messages (with menuet.ly) such as:
amelie@amy:~/music/input/tutorial > ly2dvi menuet.ly
*** Temp directory is `[EMAIL PROTECTED]'

although the /scm directory with lily.scm is properly placed in
/usr/local/share/lilypond/.
Joerg Anders turned my eyes to the bug in the
lilypond-1.3.140/mutopia/mutopia.make file. On a SuSE system, given that
installation is carried out in an arbitrary directory in the /home/[USERNAME]/
tree (only thing I've tried, as I didn't want to build an RPM at the moment),
compilation fails at the file stated above very late in the compilation
process. The error message is as follows:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/amelie/software/lilypond/lilypond-1.3.140/mutopia'
../mutopia/mutopia.make:23: *** can't find LilyPond's stepmake installation. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/amelie/software/lilypond/lilypond-1.3.140/mutopia'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Enter the makefile /mutopia/mutopia.make. It reads
# mutopia/mutopia.make
#
# Magic: find and include LilyPond's StepMake rules
#
# 0: follow LILYPONDPREFIX
# 1: try source tree
# 2: try installed tree in $HOME
# 3: try system installed tree
#
make-root=$(wildcard $(LILYPONDPREFIX)/make)
make-root?=$(wildcard $(HOME)/usr/src/lilypond/make)
make-root?=$(wildcard /usr/share/lilypond/make)
make-root?=$(wildcard /usr/share/lilypond/make)
#make-root=<LilyPond's datadir>/make
ifneq ($(make-root),)

depth=$(make-root)/..
LOCALSTEPMAKE_TEMPLATES=ly mutopia
include $(make-root)/stepmake.make
else
$(error can't find LilyPond's stepmake installation)
endif
#
I don't know what $(LILYPONDPREFIX) and $(HOME) point to, but I assume that
$(LILYPONDPREFIX) points to the directory where Lilypond is going to be
installed and $(HOME) points to the compiling user's home directory. Both are
not viable in that case (but please, I don't get the big picture here, I'm just
assuming). Thus, could another option be added, pointing to the directory from
which the "make" command was issued? Or, does the /make/stepmake.make file need
to have been pre-processed by something or the other? Anyway, the bug needs to
be worked out. I'm gonna try my very best, but, believe me, I have almost zero
experience with hand-writing makefiles. I'd be glad to receive any help. The
ifneq condition is the problem - let's find a solution!
So, after this long posting,
good night to y'all
Amy
