Build error. MergeFonts: Can't find font: feta11.pfb

[Lucas Werkmeister]

Hi everyone,

I’m getting the following error message when trying to build LilyPond from git (specifically, building the AUR lilypond-git package).

if test -f out/parmesan-noteheads23.enc; then touch out/parmesan-noteheads23.enc ; fi
/home/lucas/.cache/pacaur/lilypond-git/src/lilypond/scripts/build/out/gen-emmentaler-scripts --dir=./out --design-size=11
cat out/feta11.lisp out/parmesan11.lisp out/parmesan-noteheads11.lisp out/feta-noteheads11.lisp out/feta-flags11.lisp out/feta-alphabet11.lisp > out/feta11.otf-table
cd ./out && /usr/bin/fontforge -script emmentaler-11.genpe

This error was already reported on this list in 2012 [1], also by a user of the AUR package, but the conclusion back then was that it was a parallel build problem fixed by reducing make parallelism, which doesn’t match my situation: my build isn’t parallelized (no -j flags to make), and yet I got the same error four times in a row. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on here?

Cheers,
Lucas
