Compilation of Lilypond on FreeBSD

[Zbyněk Burget]

Hi,

O.K. - I shall write to mailing list...

I try compile lilypond 2.6.3 on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.
To save time of compilation, I've decidet on use "make -C mf get-pfa"
Entire compilation process pass O.K. (it seemed), but through install 
process I get error:

/home/zburget/make/lilypond-2.6.3/stepmake/stepmake/../bin/install-sh: 
./out/feta11.svg does not exist.
gmake[1]: *** [local-install-outfiles] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/home/zburget/make/lilypond-2.6.3/mf'
gmake: *** [install] Error 2

there is no file feta*.svg in directory mf/out.
...but eg. emmentaler*.svg files are.

If I patch mf/GNUmakefile so that *.svg files are extracted from 
lilypond-2.6.3-1.i386.rpm (such as *.pfa), all is all right.

in previous version of lilypond was dependency on mfrtace "optional", 
now is "required" - I compile and install functional lilypond without 
mftrace. In documentation is written, that mftraced fonts can be used 
from .rpm by "make -C mf get-pfa" - why is mftarce required for 
compilation of lilypond? IMHO ptional dependency is sufficient...

On other side - where is problem with .svg files...?

...and last question - would it be possible cancel dependency on 
fontforge (or change dependency to "optional") and use required files 
from pre-compiled package?

...or generally - would it be possible to src package put 
platform-independent binary data (fonts) instead of source code of this 
data?


I have coplete typescripts of both (bad an good) compilation/install 
processes, related patches and dirlists... If can I send some relevant 
part of it, may be...  All this data has about 2 MB (tar archive).
