I’m starting to overcome inertia and get back into LilyPond development. I am hoping to keep the LilyPond source on a macOS host and build with LilyDev 4.1 in VirtualBox, accessing the source via a read-only shared folder. The main advantage is that I can exclude the gigantic VM disk image from my automated backups without excluding my LilyPond workspace. Not having to move my workspace next time I switch VM images will be nice too.
I’m happy to say that only a couple minor changes have been necessary to reach the point of regression testing. (This just in: make doc wants to create a hard link. Meh.) Now, the questions: Is anyone willing to rate the value of the Mac OS X information in the Contributors’ Guide? Is anyone building natively on macOS? The CG says the instructions were tested on OS X 10.5; that was current from 2007 to 2009. If I receive no response, then when I update the CG to describe my new setup (assuming I can overcome the remaining issues), I will be inclined to remove material on Mac OS X that has not been useful in this effort.
