Lilypond installation

[Mike Raevsky]

Salutations,

I'm in the middle of a clean installation on a mac with Sonoma 14.1.2 with
an M2 chip. The instructions have been incomplete and have varied
significantly from the screenshots on the website. After I gave up with the
tarball, I installed MacPorts which had some issues (beyond your control)
to use that installer, and it appears I've finished, but the list of notes
is extensive and I thought I'd share that with you. As of now, I'll be
going through these to figure out which are important and which are just
notes.

Some of the ports you installed have notes:

  db48 has the following notes:

    The Java and Tcl bindings are now provided by the db48-java and

    db48-tcl subports.

  libidn has the following notes:

    GNU libidn2 is the successor of GNU libidn. It comes with IDNA 2008 and
TR46

    implementations and also provides a compatibility layer for GNU libidn.

  libpsl has the following notes:

    libpsl API documentation is provided by the port 'libpsl-docs'.

  lilypond has the following notes:

    Pre-installation note for 'mactex' variant:



       MacTeX or another external TeXLive distribution gets used for
installation instead

    of MacPorts's texlive packages; the path to the TeX distribution's
binary directory

    (for example '/Library/TeX/texbin') must be added to 'binpath' in
'macports.conf'

    *before* installing this port.



       Note that TeX is not needed after installation.

  lzma has the following notes:

    The LZMA SDK program is installed as "lzma_alone", to avoid conflict
with LZMA Utils

  openldap has the following notes:

    A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting openldap
with launchd. It

    is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and
to cause it to

    launch at startup:



        sudo port load openldap

  python311 has the following notes:

    To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by
the 'python' or

    'python3' commands), run one or both of:



        sudo port select --set python python311

        sudo port select --set python3 python311

  python312 has the following notes:

    To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by
the 'python' or

    'python3' commands), run one or both of:



        sudo port select --set python python312

        sudo port select --set python3 python312
