[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi David,

 thanks, that did it! 

@Martin: I use arch linux and installed the development version of
lilypond (2.19.65) and its documentation.

# cd /usr/share/info
# for j in foo.info bar.info etc.info ; do install-info "$j" dir ; done

to install foo, bar, etc. Of course, you can just do the lot:

# cd /usr/share/info
# mv dir dir-backup
# for j in * ; do install-info "$j" dir ; done

which saves you missing any.

If you install lilypond and its documentation under you own
home directory, you can also keep it all separate with

$ cd .../path-to/share/info
$ for j in * ; do install-info "$j" dir ; done

and use it with

$ info -d .../path-to/share/info

install-info makes a great deal of noise on my system,
which I just ignored (Debian).

Cheers,
David.

Which Linux distro do you use?

Greetings Orm,

To populate your dir file, you need to add entries into that file
manually, likely as root. Mine looks like this:

LilyPond
* LilyPond Changes: (lilypond-changes). New features in 2.19.46 since 2.18
* LilyPond Contributor's Guide: (lilypond-contributor).
* LilyPond Essay: (lilypond-essay).
* LilyPond Extending: (lilypond-extending).
* LilyPond Internals Reference: (lilypond-internals).
* LilyPond Learning Manual: (lilypond-learning).
* LilyPond Music Glossary: (music-glossary).
* LilyPond Notation Reference: (lilypond-notation).
* LilyPond Snippets: (lilypond-snippets).
* LilyPond Usage: (lilypond-usage).
* LilyPond Web: (lilypond-web).

This follows a specific format that is outlined in the info manual on
texinfo, I believe.

install lilypond info doc on linux

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

 is there any information somewhere how to install lilypond's info
documentation into info/emacs on linux? On my machine the documents
are in /usr/share/info but the dir file in that directory is more or
less empty and I would like to populate it in the correct/recommended
way.
