Apologies if this is a double posting

[Mark Hanlon]

Hello,

First off, sorry if this is a double posting, I've tried using the compose a 
message using Gmane option but couldn't see it appear in the archives (waited 
more than 2 hours).

I'm building lilypond from source using cygwin on windows, I have applied some 
patches to the source to allow for multiple staves (to do with the Music 
Notation project, formerly MMNA),

everything is going fine except that when i run ./configure it complains that 
gcc 4.0 or above is needed (cygwin comes with 3.4). 

Here's my question (apologies for any thickery, I'm a total newbie).

Is GCC 4.0 really required, would 3.4. do? If so could someone point me in the 
right direction where I would specify this in the config files.

I'm expecting that the answer will be "yes it is required that's why we 
specified it in the config files you dumbass":) I'm thinking of switching to 
linux to do the builds. Is it trivial or non trivial to do the builds for 
different platforms i.e. Linux, Mac and Windows. Any pointers where to start 
looking.

Apologies again for any daftness.

Cheers
Mark
