from $LILYPOND_GIT

using an 'out of tree build'

mkdir build
./autogen.sh --noconfigure
cd build
../configure --disable-optimising
make
make doc

The --disable-optimising gives a more robust set of test when using 'make'.

creating a build dir inside $LILYPOND_GIT has the advantage of just
being able to nuke it if you get into problems.

Hope this helps
