4.5.3 Compiling for multiple platforms

If you want to build multiple versions of LilyPond with different configuration settings, you can use the ‘--enable-config=conf’ option of configure. You should use make conf=conf to generate the output in ‘out-conf’. For example, suppose you want to build with and without profiling, then use the following for the normal build

./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/ --enable-checking
make

and for the profiling version, specify a different configuration

./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/ --enable-profiling \
  --enable-config=prof --disable-checking
make conf=prof

If you wish to install a copy of the build with profiling, don’t forget to use conf=CONF when issuing make install:

make conf=prof install
