Re: Piping contents of SVG directly to stdout

[DoubleFelix]

Have you installed the necessary packages as explained in
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/contributor/requirements-for-compiling-lilypond#ubuntu

Ah, I had to install a C compiler. I just found instructions for how to do that on SO. So now I have make install ran, so how can I construct binaries for various platforms from this? Can you even compile to a windows binary from Linux?

I haven't completely understood the discussion, but it sounds like you
just want to use

lilypond --svg -dcrop file.ly

which gives you file.svg and file.cropped.svg.
