Re: Struggling to build Lilypond

[Mats Bengtsson]

The only part of the printouts that I would react to immediately, 
are the teTeX related problems. I've seen some reports on the
teTeX mailing list about problems with Solaris and certain 
versions of gcc. You may want to search the mailing lists at
http://www.mail-archive.com/tetex%40informatik.uni-hannover.de/
One trick that might help is to turn off some the optimization, 
using the flag -O0.

As Han-Wen said, please verify first that your teTeX installation
works. Also, see to it that the compiler can find the Kpathsea
include and library files, where they are installed in teTeX
(you may have to set CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS).
