collated-files.html only shows the differences, not the actual files. Furthermore, these differences are calculated based on the .eps or something like that, and text is *not* included in the comparison! For various reasons, the original authors of this system deliberately did not use a pixel-based checker. (at the present time I make no judgement about the validity of their reasons, mainly because I can't remember what they were but I know that they know far more than me about this stuff so I'm content to trust them. But if you want to investigate this later, I could help dig up the old emails and then you could play around with the build system and GUB) > .ps files are created, but if I > double click these, all I get is an image saying 'Loading...' There _are_ ways of viewing the output from those .ps files (although I could have sworn that the real data was in the .eps files, not .ps -- also, watch out for foo.eps vs. foo-1.eps. IIRC the real data is in foo-1.eps!). However, it requires finding the right file(s), possibly specifying additional font information, etc. > Are we aware that make test doesn't create a usable document from > which to view the output, or is it just an oddity of my system? I'm aware that there are difficulties. I have a vague sense that this has been discussed within the past year and one of the Germans (David/Werner/Reinhold) posted instructions for viewing the output with ghostscript. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
