INSTALL.txt missing ?

2008-12-10 Thread strk
Hi, I just git-pulled lily to take a look, but got side-tracked
by configure problems:

 $ ./configure
 ...
 ERROR: Please install required programs:  mpost
 See INSTALL.txt for more information on how to build LilyPond

but there's no INSTALL.txt ?

Since I'm at it... what I wanted to look INSTALL.txt for was
tips on where to find the required 'mpost'.

TIA

--strk;

It's built from Documentation/user/install.itely and included in the
distributed tarball.  If you're not comfortable with reading the source
in Texinfo, just look at

You have to install a TeX system, e.g. TeXlive.

Good luck with installing all dependencies
John
