Following up a conversation on the user list, as this might be a better place to ask... I think we've established that the only way to compile for Windows is to use GUB on Linux to cross-compile for mingw. Well, GUB barfs all the time here. I could start posting chunks of GUB log messages, but I don't feel that's really useful at this point -- if someone is able to help diagnose the problem we can look into that!
First, to make sure I'm not wasting my time, can somebody suggest what build platform and configuration I need to successfully cross-compile Lilypond for Windows? I've tried a number of different Ubuntu versions, either VMs or linux running directly on the metal. I've had to install a few libraries (mpf, mpc, zlib etc.) from apt in order to get a step further in GUB. I've also installed the mingw g++ packages, though I'm not sure whether that is relevant. Also, do I need to anything more than: $ bin/gub mingw::lilypond ? Alternatively, I'm sure it should be possible (possibly easy) to ./configure the lilypond source code directly for cross compilation. If someone has a quick solution for how to do that, I'd be really grateful of it. Context: I'm getting seriously fed up with a bug in Lilypond that's causing the build of scores of larger than smallish size to crash. It's a very repeatable assertion failure, "Line 1180 in Page-Breaking.cc". However, I've not found it easy to create a reliable "minimal" example for this. It only seems to happen in reasonably complicated scores with 10+ staves and a few pages. In any case, unless I can compile this for Windows I wouldn't be able to investigate the problem at all.
