Re: Version of lilypond for FreeBSD
What is happening is your daughter's computer is a newer version of FreeBSD and apparently it will not compile on 5.2 systems. You can try to force the issue by editing the file /usr/ports/print/lilypond/Makefile and removing the 3-line section that says "BROKEN= Will not compile." and then reinstall the port. I know that I have got lilypond working on my FreeBSD system, but it took alot of manual tweaking. Unfortunately, it appears that the FreeBSD port maintainer that originally imported v2.2.2 has abandoned the port (cannot be contacted) and I simply don't have the expertise necessary to take over. Until somebody does, you won't see v2.5 in the ports tree anytime soon =( I run Windows on another machine and have found the Cygwin process to be easy and painless. You may wish to consider migrating since it seems you don't have time to fiddle. My very recent run-in with convert-ly to transform *my* 2.2.2 documents to 2.5 was very good and you shouldn't have any problems I hope. Best of luck to you, and congratulations on your ordination.

Version of Lilypond for FreeBSD
Hi! I've been working quite successfully for about 6 months now with 2.2.2 on my FreeBSD 5.3 system. I've been able to do about 95% of what I'd like to, and other features, I've not worried about to date -- none of my music is that complicated. I have been working on a Mass Setting for my ordination (April 22). My daughter (my choir director for the service) and I were doing some hashing on part of it, and she tried to install 2.2.2 on her machine (the latest version given on BSD ports) and it is now marked as broken. What gives? Is there any way we can *make* that port work? Or another version we can install? (Keep in mind we're musicians -- not geeks:-) And I guess if we install a new version (which I wouldn't mind, given some of the features which have been discussed in this list) how much of a learning curve is there and can we do it in a month, and get the music nailed down in that time?
