What error are you getting? You are using 64 bit hardware correct? I have not 
heard of success with gub on that platform.

Sure. Gub has a html documentation already though. I can add to it and place it 
there I suppose. There probably are things I have learned from using it that 
may not be in the documentation.

Yes. The evince/lilypond sync  is the mac version is broken for some reason. 
Pdf's are being created but I see an error at the command line complaining that 
the DenemoASDFSDF-A.pdf is not found. I think I saw the -B.pdf in the 
tmp/DenemoXXXX directory but when it complained that A was missing I would see 
B and vice versa. I do recall that it will work if you kill the progressbar 
window after a decent amount of time. IIRC the progress bar keeps going and 
never stops. Then if you close the progress bar the pdf appears in evince. I 
thought it had to do with glib and singal handling or something but was unable 
to get it working properly. It worked fine in version 1.0 and maybe a few 
versions after that. I don't know how to fix it.
 
> Why don't you submit a patch to the gub upstream ?

I have been considering sending them a pull request but I have hesitated. The 
"upstream" branch I forked has not seen a single commit in over a year now. I 
see other forks of the same project on github that have also progressed. 
Ocassionally I look at their patches to see if I can use any of them. After 
asking about gub and lurking on lilypond's list I found out that it really 
takes some sort of Black Magic to get it to work. So far these are some of the 
conditions that I know of that have been reported to work. You must have:
intel 32bit hardware
one of the following distros - Debian stable, Ubuntu 10.04, or 12.04

In addition to the above:
I have also heard that parellel building doesn't work
If your build fails you must (most the time) start the entire build process 
over from scratch

Lilypond uses gub to build for all the BSD's and cygwin and maybe someother 
other platforms. I only want to build for mingw, linux, and darwin. 
Unfortunately though maybe that is still too much. I have never created a good 
linux build that did not have problems. It may work fine in one distro but 
totally broken in another. Perhaps we should refer users wanting a binary linux 
build to go to the OpenSuSe project and download a pkg for their distro? 
Theoretically we could make a mingw with the opensuse build system too but I am 
not sure how to do that and how much work it would take. One of the main 
reasons I have not pushed upstream is because of how things get easily broken 
in gub for almost no reason. So I am a bit confused what to do. I often wonder 
if it would be better to spend my efforts using something else that has other 
people contributing to it.

That is what Richard says. If this is true, I don't know why this would be the 
case. Glib and gtk really have nothing to do with portaudio. I am going to have 
to figure out how to do my own testing with wine somehow. There is probably a 
way to get mic input with it.
