Did you consider my suggestion of using a Linux virtual machine?

  Being a layman, most of this is all going over my head. But I gather that 
compiling this particular project will not be possible for the time being on my 
current machine, so I’ll either try to get my decrepit laptop up and running, 
or ask a friend to help out :-)

  Thanks for the replies,

  Brent.

    Last time I looked (about 1.5 years ago) the problem was a missing
    mingw-w64 package that exists for mingw (the 32bit version) for which I
    think it is not actually required for the lilypond build, only for GUB
    in general.

    I'm not very knowledgeable w/r to GUB. So here is a question for those
    with better knowledge:
    Is it possible to reduce the required packages for GUB for particular
    software (as in lilypond)?

    If that's the case I'd expect it to be fairly straight forward to
    replace the mingw stuff by mingw-w64 since the later is (or was)
    supposed to be a dropin replacement for the former.

    Kind regards,
    Michael
