Re: Building documentation: bad PNG output

[Phil Holmes]



The key thing to note is that 'make doc' is not designed to produce PNG output: these are at best intermediate files and at worst built as a by-product.  The only thing it is designed to create is PDF and HTML output: so the question is, as before: what does that look like?

Helping you is a hard job and I've just run out of time.

You are not telling us which source you are using. From a linux distro repository? From lilypond git repository?

You should use git and checkout the 2.18.2 branch, otherwise you won't get much help from this list probably.

And the logs of 'make doc'?

I give up... Good luck!

I’m trying to build 2.18.2, with… LilyPond 2.18.2, so there should be no problem, and, as I said, I can generate PNG files from my own scores. I even tried with the file you mentioned:

aymeric[snippets]$ lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts --png pitches-headword.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.18.2
Processing `pitches-headword.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...[8]
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 page...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `pitches-headword.eps'...
Converting to PNG...
Layout output to `pitches-headword-1.eps'...
Writing pitches-headword-systems.texi...
Writing pitches-headword-systems.tex...
Writing pitches-headword-systems.count...
Success: compilation successfully completed

And here’s the output.

BTW, what's the purpose of building the current stable doc (2.18.2)?
Which source are you using?

    Ok, finally I see what's the problem. I never had such a problem and
    I cannot make a guess. You got no error when running make doc?
    You should check the log files in Documentation:

    ./Documentation/notation.texi2pdf.log
    ./Documentation/notation.bigtexi.log
    ./Documentation/notation.splittexi.log
    ./Documentation/notation.makeinfo.log

    That file is ./Documentation/snippets/pitches-headword.ly

    <http://pitches-headword.ly>

    It seems that the lilypond version you are using cannot compile it.
    Perhaps a version mismatch?

        No, I can see the score.

        Here’s a screenshot of how it looks like with my build.

            Can you see the same issue on the lilypond website?

            http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/__Documentation/notation/pitches

            <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/pitches>

            Or send us a screenshot of your web page.

                 For example, in the HTML documentation:

            file:///usr/doc/lilypond-doc-____2.18.2/html/Documentation/____notation/pitches.html

            file:///usr/doc/lilypond-doc-____2.18.2/html/Documentation/eb/____lily-bd76d922.png

                 looks the same as the image I sent before.

            Also, why

                     images in the directories?
                     I'm asking: have you seen that image on the html

                     where?

                     some PNG
                          myself with LilyPond from my own .ly files,
            and I don’t
