4.4.1 Running ./autogen.sh

After you unpack the tarball (or download the Git repository), the contents of your top source directory should be similar to the current source tree listed at http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=tree.

Next, you need to create the generated files; enter the following command from your top source directory: 

./autogen.sh --noconfigure

This will generate a number of files and directories to aid configuration, such as ‘configure’, ‘README.txt’, etc.

Next, create the build directory with: 

mkdir build/
cd build/

We heavily recommend building lilypond inside a separate directory with this method.
