If this is a question about our build process (as I believe), then whether or not it's enabled by default in lilypond-book is completely separate issue. For the build process, I would begin by adding it to make/lilypond-vars.make, line 47 or so (I don't know if those flags are sorted alphabetically... wait, they're definitely not sorted that way). Then I'd try building stuff, and look at where the log files went. ... that said, I see now that -dseparate-log-files are *already* used in lysdoc-targets.make. Which makes sense, because I know that I've seen tons of .log files in out/lybook-db/ I see this as really being a question about working on the stepmake infrastructure of lilypond, and/or documenting how this infrastructure works, where it places log files, what goes into which log file, etc. My rule of thumb for this would be to guestimate the amount of time it _should_ take to clarify the log file types + locations (2 hours?), then multiply by 10. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
