Hi,
I'm resurrecting a laptop whose hard drive died. I'm trying to
set up Emacs lilypond-mode.
AU 2.2.1 tells me to do a 'make install' in the elisp directory.
I don't see a makefile and 'make install' doesn't find an install
target rule. Am I missing something or are the docs behind?
Thanks,
Paul Scott
That only applies if lilypond-mode isn't installed on your
platform (first paragraph, last sentence).
I believe that lilypond isn't installed. This is a fresh install
of everything since the hard drive died.
This is a question you should be able to answer, is lilypond
installed or not. If it is, and you've installed from a binary, i.e.,
not built it yourself, you should have everything you need. If you've
installed from source, then depending on what you've installed, you
may or may not need to build and install lilypond-mode.
Even so why would the makefile be gone if I had done the lilypond-
mode install.
Because makefiles are often not provided when the files they create are.
Usually you can just move the files to where they need to go and
ammend your ~/.emacs appropriately
I do see where the lilypond-mode file is so I can probably install
it manually but I still wonder about the documentation.
Thanks,
Paul
The documentation is written from the point of view of a bare bones
install. If you have the files the documentation refers to, then
you're a couple of steps ahead.
