OK, so I think I get this: the debian/ directory materials are not really intended for general Linux users working on personal machines, but for Debian package maintainers who run package builds on Debian's build servers. Perhaps I should try to devote some work toward making the build/install process easier in general. Right now, building the product requires an Ubuntu system; and one with a manually-updated fontforge. A "make install" installs the "gregorio" program but does not install the gregoriotex fonts and styles. These restrictions and inconveniences make it difficult for average Linux users to even try out the product, and they make it harder for developers to join the project. --RC _______________________________________________ Gregorio-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/gregorio-devel
