Re: Crash on my first attempt to run lilypond 1.6.6-2

[Peter Teeson]

OK good people I am going to need your help on things since I haven't 
used Unix or command lines for many many years.
Last time was using MPW but things fade away when you get older or 
don't use them. So please be kind and patient. TIA

My understanding is that I should rebuild just lilypond itself with 
debugging symbols/code - correct?
Can I set the -g flag for this from within Fink Commander? (I don't see 
how yet).
Or do I do this from the Terminal app?

I have found a Mac OS X section in some documentation and it has a 
bunch of cryptic lines as follows:
CC="cc -I/sw/include" .....
make -C lily out/parser.hh ......
patch -p0 < darwin.patch
make -C lily out/parser.o
make DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT=/dev/null all
make install

I think this is more than I need. I have tried to find the appropriate 
make file by un-taring the source but havnt yet found it.

Can you please give me guidance.

TIA

Peter
