Hello,
This subsection has always puzzled me a bit.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor-big-page#requirements-for-running-lilypond
If I were a user on Windows or MacOS I know I don't need any of this
software to 'run' LilyPond because, I assume, we provide everything
in the standalone binaries we compile for these operating systems.
The CG is not for regular users...
I had initially thought this section should be moved to 'Usage' under
the 'Running LilyPond' section but after reasoning as I have above it
evidently is not appropriate there.
So is this section just for Linux (and maybe FreeBSD) users?
Or is this section just for users that are building from source AND
want to run LilyPond at the same time?
In which case what do I get when I am on Linux and download one of
the *.sh files that I then run to 'install' LilyPond?
Thanks for your time.
I _think_ that this section is mainly for packagers, who need to know
what is needed to run or to compile LilyPond in order to create the
list of dependencies for each use case.
