Installing Musescore on Linux CentOS 6

If you are trying to build from source, you are probably better off using the current sources from GitHub - see the "Development" link in menu at right, then "Develoeprs Handbook" to get to compilation instructions. No one maintains builds for 1.3 any more, so it will be ahrder to get help with building it.

Did you manage to build MuseScore for Linux CentOS?

We are looking for someone to build the coming 2.0 release: http://musescore.org/en/node/50486#comment-236621

This is a late comment, but might help you or others in the same situation.

Compiling and installing MuseScore-2.0.2 on on CentOS 7 was not difficult.

With EPEL and ELRepo enabled, as per the guidelines on in the CentOS wiki https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories, I just had to figure out how to get lame into the system.

Here is a little script for the job.
It is likely that I left some dependencies out, as they were installed allready.
Have fun :-)
