Hi all,
Apologies for the potentially "blindingly obvious" question, bu't having read the devel webpages about compiling Lilypond for mingw/Windows, I'm none the wiser.
I can compile for native linux using the gnu make (via the smart-autoconf.sh script). However, I'm trying to track down a crash in Windows, and according to the website/docs it's impossible to compile natively* -- so need a cross-compile.
I note the existance of "GUB", but this appears to use the main repository as source**. But obviously, I need to compile from my working copy after I've put a bunch of tracing code in.
My dev environment is Ubuntu 16 (or 14). Any hints or tips or redirection towards the relevant instructions would be welcome!
Chris

* assuming the statement about compiling natively under Windows _does_not_ refer to using mingw gnu make, rather than some other compiler...??
** I'm not sure about that; but in any case it fails at configuring mingw::fontconfig so that may be the first problem to solve. Error below

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
