4.2.2 Requirements for compiling LilyPond
Below is a full list of packages needed to build LilyPond. However, for most common distributions there is an easy way of installing most all build dependencies in one go:
| Distribution | Command |
|---|---|
| Debian, Ubuntu | sudo apt-get build-dep lilypond |
| Fedora, RHEL | sudo yum-builddep lilypond |
| openSUSE, SLED | sudo zypper --build-deps-only source-install lilypond |
- Everything listed in Requirements for running LilyPond
- Development packages for the above items (which should
include header files and libraries).
Red Hat Fedora:
guile-devel-version fontconfig-devel-version freetype-devel-version pango-devel-version python-devel-version
Debian GNU/Linux:
guile-version-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libpango1.0-dev pythonversion-dev
