RE: LilyPondTool MacOSX help

[Joseph Anderson]

Hello Sean,

I may be the 'other' user you speak of. With some help from Stephen Corey 
(check the archive), providing advice and .jars, and a tiny bit of hacking, 
I've got LilyPondTool running on my MacOS 10.4 system.

Here's the plugins I'm using with jEdit 4.2final:

Console 4.1.2
ErrorList 1.3.2
Jakarta Commons 0.4.4
Latest Version Check 1.5
LilyPondTool 0.2.9
Mac OS Plugin 3.0
QuickNotepad 4.2
SideKick 0.3.4
Templates 3.3.0

Stephen provided the older versions of Console and ErrorList. (I haven't fooled 
around to see of both these older versions are required, or just one.)

Additionally, I had to set some of the LilyPondTool plugin options:

Under 'General' I have selected 'Native' lilypond (rather than 'Cygwin'). Also, 
while the PDF viewer is set to AcroRd32.exe, Preview.app is launching for me.

Under 'Commands' I've set LilyPond command to '/usr/local/bin/lilypond', which 
is where my lilypond is. The biggest problem I had been having (after getting 
the plugins working w/ Stephen's help) was the fact that jEdit wasn't picking 
up my $PATH from etc/profile or my own personal .profile in my home directory. 
Setting the lilypond command explicity got lilypond to run.

Getting convert-ly to run took a tiny bit of hacking. The command field is set 
to /usr/local/bin/convert-ly. But, I had to go into the convert-ly script and 
make the following change:

APPDIR=`lilypond --print-appdir`

changed to

APPDIR=`/usr/local/bin/lilypond --print-appdir`

making the lilypond path explit.

None of this explicitness would be necessary if I could work out how to set the 
$PATH up correctly within jEdit. (Any suggestions??) However, this gets things 
running.

If you want to use Cygwin, I'd presume similar changes would make that work.


My best,
Jo Anderson

Hi Bertalan,

I used LilyPondTool exclusively for all my scores with enormous  
satisfaction until April of 2005 on Mac OSX.

I recently updated the tool, but it no longer works. Things appear to  
have changed.
Maybe you could help me out a bit.

I've downloaded the plugin in jEdit4.2 and all of the associate plugins.
In the plugin options, I put in the bash shell path as /bin/bash.
However, the options seem quite Windows-based, since there is a  
choice for "native" or "cygwin", and since the PDF viewer is listed  
with an .exe (when I try to choose the Preview.app, I have to go all  
the way into the contents of the application to find the unix binary).

The menu bar appears, just like it used to.

When I try to compile the score, I get the following error:
        java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: console.Console.setShell(Ljava/lang/ 
String;)V
with a whole long list of sub-errors.

Recently, another user wrote to the list asking about something similar.
He replaced the new version of the Console with an older one, but  
still received this error:
        AWT-EventQueue-0: java.io.IOException: convert-ly: not found
I experienced the same problem.

Any clues on what to do to get it running again?
LilyPondTool was always a great asset in my work on scores.

Best,
Sean
