For compiling stuff (namely guile-dev), it's exclusive on Ubuntu as
well.  But once compiled, you can keep executables linked with either
around.  With regard to executables, you can install both in parallel
and can access them as guile-2.0 (and just guile) and guile-1.8.

 

Unfortunately, this is not the case for FreeBSD; there are no separate development packages. It is all or nothing.

The git version of what?

 

Git version of lilypond.

The guile-2 branch of what?

To be precise, the dev/guilev2 branch of http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/lilypond.git.

By the way... is there any intention to link to guile-2 in the future?

Stuff not working.  Crashes.  Errors.

Only the ancient version will work for now.

Actually, the ancient version is 4.8, and configure requires 4.11. So The current version (which is 6.0) works. Makeinfo is just a symlink to texi2any.

No idea here: we've had some recent changes, and ./configure --help
should mention some options for specifying paths to fonts.

Configure gets the path right, it just doesn't find that particular font. My question is, could you tell me the explicit name and version of the package (even for other system like debian) where that particular font comes from? This might help.

 
Thank you very much for your answer!
