Hi all,
I'm using VirtualBox v.3.0.12 (the last release that supports Mac
OS 10.4.11) and LilyBuntu. I downloaded the source code of the
current development version with git to ~/lilypond-git and
compiled it with "make all" as described in the manuals. So far
so good!
According to the CG (Concurrent Stable and Development Versions)
in order to use the development version I have to:
…create a link to the binary in the source tree by saving the
following line in a file somewhere in your $PATH:
exec <path to>/lilypond/out/bin/lilypond "$@"
I saved the following file as Lilypond in ~/bin:
#!/bin/sh
exec ~/lilypond-git/out/bin/lilypond "$@"
I made it executable with
chmod +x Lilypond
But when I try to invoke it by typing: Lilypond I get the message:
command not found
Where is my mistake? Is ~/bin not in my $PATH? If yes, how can I
adjust this?
Thanks in advance for any pointers
patrick
No. ~/bin is not in the $PATH by default. If you look at the 2.12
documentation (I haven't started reading through the 2.13
documentatio)n, the end of the page has:
Now, add this directory to your path. Modify (or create) a file
called .profile in your home directory such that it contains
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
This file should end with a blank line.
hope this helps
James,
thanks for your reply!
I think you are looking at the instructions for "Mac OS X on the
command line" in Program Usage v.2.12?! Is it really the same for
LilyBuntu?
When I type
echo $PATH
on LilyBuntu I get:
/home/pls/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/
bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
So IINM it must have been there by default as I haven't changed
the PATH. I wouldn't even know how to do this on Linux (I can do it
on Mac OS X). Doesn't that mean that the "bin"-folder I created for
the "Lilypond"-script should be found?
Thanks for any hint!
