Hi David,
I'm running it right now on a newer mac intel, and am noticing tons
of xorg stuff... is this for the GUI? Does the regular X11 not
cover these dependencies?
It's for fontforge. If you look at the depencies (and the
dependencies of depencies) all of the Xorg libraries are dependencies
for fontforge. It's one of the downsides of macports. If you compile
it yourself, you actually don't need all of those. At least, I didn't
when I did.
Thanks for doing this!

I'm a big fan of Macports, and since lilypond seems to be so

many, many failed attempts, I finally have a portfile that seems to
work. Can people test this portfile to verify that lilypond builds
correctly? And if it reliably does so, can this information be
put on
the lilypond download page?
To compile lilypond using Macports, first make sure you have
XCode installed. Then just download Macports from http://
www.macports.org/ and
install it, add /opt/local to your PATH, and then run "sudo port
install
lilypond". That's it. Macports will download, compile, and install
lilypond and its dependencies.
Also, I have not yet tested the GUI option in lilypond. To try
building it, run "sudo port install lilypond +gui" instead of
just "sudo port
install lilypond". If it works, great -- if it doesn't, can
people post
their error messages?
David,
Thanks for doing this. It's a very good idea!
I just tried it and it failed when building pango. It said my
Xcode is too old (2.0) and that I need to update to at least
2.4.1. This is an eMac G4 that's about 4 years old. I have an
Intel iMac on my desk at work, though, so I'll try it there, too.
It's a much newer machine and the Xcode tools are probably up-to-
date.
Jon
