Greetings! I gave up on LilyPond 1.4.8 in November, and got busy on other things. But a week or so ago I got version 1.4.9 and today I got a chance to work on it. I have made some progress, since my ./configure went OK(I had managed to install what seems to be a workable libkpathsea).
But my build crashed, basically at the same point as it did in November. Here are the last few lines: (start)----------------------- In file included from /usr/local/include/FlexLexer.h:47, from out/lexer.cc:241: /usr/local/include/g++-v3/backward/iostream.h:36: using directive `istream' introduced ambiguous type `istream' lexer.ll: In member function `virtual int My_lily_lexer::yylex()': lexer.ll:486: cannot convert `std::istream*' to `istream*' in assignment lexer.ll: In member function `void yyFlexLexer::yy_load_buffer_state()': lexer.ll:1009: cannot convert `istream*' to `std::istream*' in assignment lexer.ll: In member function `void yyFlexLexer::yy_init_buffer(yy_buffer_state*, std::istream*)': lexer.ll:1060: cannot convert `std::istream*' to `istream*' in assignment /usr/local/include/g++-v3/bits/locale_facets.tcc: At top level: lexer.ll:122: warning: `int yy_start_stack_ptr' defined but not used lexer.ll:123: warning: `int yy_start_stack_depth' defined but not used lexer.ll:124: warning: `int*yy_start_stack' defined but not used lexer.ll:126: warning: `void yy_push_state(int)' declared `static' but never defined lexer.ll:129: warning: `void yy_pop_state()' declared `static' but never defined lexer.ll:132: warning: `int yy_top_state()' declared `static' but never defined make[1]: *** [out/lexer.o] Error 1 rm out/lexer.cc make[1]: Leaving directory `/gamma/music/lilypond-1.4.9/lily' make: *** [all] Error 2 ------------------------------------------(finish) I am running Debian Woody. With reference to my system prerequisites, enumerated in the INSTALL.txt that came with 1.4.9, I have the following items: I have gcc 3.0 "python --version" doesn't work; but I have /usr/bin/python _and_ /usr/bin/python1.5 I have guile 1.4 I have GNU Make, of course "flex --version" returns "flex version 2.5.4" but it is really 2.5.4a, since I downloaded flex, built it, and installed it as per directions I have bison 1.28 I have TeX, which has always worked fine for me. I have installed the kpathsea libraries; "ls /usr/lib/libkp*" returns /usr/lib/libkpathsea.a /usr/lib/libkpathsea.so.3@ /usr/lib/libkpathsea.so@ /usr/lib/libkpathsea.so.3.3.1 I don't have texinfo, but I think I have lots of documentation . . . I have geometry.cfg and geometry.sty, down inside . ./tex/latex/ . . . I have MetaPost and mfplain.mp I trust that this list of prerequisites is complete; but maybe not . . Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated. TIA and best wishes, Alan -- Alan McConnell An interesting article by Bill Moyers, from "The http://patriot.
