I'm helping a friend install on Mac OS X 10.6.6 but I know nothing about the Mac. I found this in the archive: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-03/msg00246.html Is that the right approach for her? Thank you in advance for any Mac tips, Mike --- If you simply want to just install and use LP to create musical scores then go here: http://lilypond.org/development.html download and run the latest *.dmg file. That's it. There is also a built in editor, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/web/macos-x on how to very easily use and create LP files. The 2.12.x code had problems as far as I remember with anything MacOS greater than 10.3 - I maybe wrong but I never could get it to work in 10.5.x - but the latest 2.13.x is fine for 10.5.x upto and including the latest 10.6.7 if you are talking about 'compiling' the source code on a Mac to help with LP development then that is a whole other ball game and the general advice is don't unless you really know what you are doing (for Mac). But if you really want to you should also direct any compiling on a mac to [email protected] and make sure you have at least read: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/index With regard to compiling source code. However it seems that your friend just wants to use LP to create beautiful notation, so no compiling is needed just use the download links above and it should be fine.
