Then compile as usual.

Details

Requirements

• GNU c++ 3.1 or higher - On FreeBSD 4 a recent c++ can be installed via the ports. The LilyPond port will install gcc 3.3 as dependency on 4.x systems. On FreeBSD 5 gcc 3.2 is already present and usable.
• mftrace is mandatory and required for generating type1 scalable postscript fonts. See section mftrace for more information. The 2.2.2 port does not use mftrace but rather downloads precompiled fonts from the binary feodora distribution.
• teTeX
• guile
• python
• gmake - These and their dependencies get also installed by the LilyPond port
