4.5.1 Using make
Note: make sure that you are in the build/ subdirectory of your source tree.
LilyPond is compiled with the make command. Assuming
make is configured properly, you can simply run:
make
‘make’ is short for ‘make all’. To view a list of make
targets, run:
make help
By default, .scm files are byte-compiled. If you don’t
want to do that for whatever reason, add BYTECODE=no as an
argument to make.5
TODO: Describe what make actually does.

Generating documentation provides more info on the make targets
used to build the LilyPond documentation.

Byte compilation of Scheme code is disabled while cross-compiling since Guile must bootstrap itself to do that, which is not possible in general.
