Re: installing LilyPond on NT from scratch with cygwin 1.1.4

[John Sankey]

"You don't need to run [guile.exe] ... as long as you have the
"ice-9" directory installed in the default place you shouldn't
have to worry about it. Otherwise, you have to set
GUILE_LOAD_PATH to where that "ice-9" directory is."

tar put the ice-9 directory in C:\cygwin\usr\share\guile\1.3.4

"You can't double click on [lilypond.exe] and expect it to do
anything useful. You either have to run it from a DOS box (mildly
difficult) or from a Cygwin bash prompt (somewhat easier)."

>From DOS I get:
GNU LilyPond 1.2.17.jcn1
ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path
ERROR: Unable to find file "ice-9/boot-9.scm" in load path.

Setting GUILE_LOAD_PATH makes no difference. Is "load path" the
same as DOS path? (.scm isn't a DOS-path recognised extension...)

I'm keeping a log of the things that work in
http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Studio/1714/gnunt.html
so they won't have to be repeated here each time.
Comments are appreciated so it will be useful to other non-gurus,
not just to me.
