I'd like to have a go at this - me with absolutely no real code building
experience other than following CG for building doc in LilyPond (and much
cajoling from Graham).

:)

I'm perfectly comfortable with using Terminal but have never installed the
MacPorts stuff before.

If this works for me then I think it would be really helpful to have in
the CG simply because if I can do it, then anyone who had a modicum of
building code experience can do it and won't have to hunt about the
message boards.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.6 w/ 4GB or RAM on a second gen imac

  Model Name: iMac
  Model Identifier: iMac7,1
  Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz


Is this enough?

How long do you guesstimate it would take compile (I.e the make bit).
