Re: Alternative to Frescobaldi

[Andrew Bernard]

Fair enough.

I spent all afternoon on it. I am utterly unable to get Qt4 going on 
Alma Linux despite decades of being a UNIX programmer. I think it's 
futile. I conisdered doing the port of Frescobaldi to Qt6 but that is a 
large job, and besides, may destabilise other peoples installs

A few years ago I wrote a step by step guide to getting gvim working 
with Lilypond on Ubuntu. If you search the mailing list you will find 
it. It may be useful to you and easily adaptable. There's really only 
one way to do it, and some of the steps are given in this thread by 
others. As an aside, I find mupdf to be more lightweight and easier to 
get going than evince.

Alma Linux is great, but probably not a good platform for Frescobaldi at 
this point.
