Re: Different version for FreeBSD

[Mats Bengtsson]

If he has some experience of compiling programs, it shouldn't
be that hard to simply take the source code package of version
2.4.5 from www.lilypond.org, carefully read INSTALL.txt to find
out what other programs have to be upgraded first and then build
it. Otherwise, the information at 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-03/msg00139.html
might provide some assistance.
