Hi,
Yesterday I finally managed to build Lilypond 2.4.6. First I could get
all the dependancies libs and software through regular repositories
(Ubuntu + universe + multiverse) with synaptic, except texinfo (I can
have only 4.6, 4.7 required). Since texinfo is for building the manual,
I will rely the website, so that's not blocking. I just had to tweak the
configure script to change "4.7" to "4.6".
On the other hand, during the build process, there was a problem with
mftrace. I have a newer version than the one required, and it seems that
the "--formats=pfa" is not supported anymore, but "--pfa" instead. So I
modified 3 files : GNUmakefile in ./mf, a python script (in
./buildscript, but can't remember which one) an a rule file in
./stepmake. (I think that you might find the file using 'find . -exec
grep -il "formats=" {} \;')
Actually, I think it's the other way around. Everything in the LilyPond
files has been updated to correspond to mftrace version 1.1.0 or later,
but they have forgot to document this change in INSTALL.txt.
So, upgrading to a newer version of mftrace which accepts --formats=
is probably a better solution for you.
