compiling lilypond 2.8.4 on cygwin

[Luis Rivera]

Hello!

I'm new in this list, so please don't bite me!!!

I tried Windoze native Lilypond and worked fine, yet I wanted to try to compile
Lilypond on Cygwin to circumvent usual problems of trying to run "native" UN*X
apps on Windoze (path search is broken, etc). Also, my experience with LyX is
that python scripts tend to break when running on "native" Windoze. I want to
avoid that, since I'm planning to use lilypond-book.

Now, ./configure runs fine, but make aborts saying

cd /home/jlrivera/lilypond-2.8.4/out && rm -rf bin lib share
mkdir -p ./out/bin
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4
ln -s 2.8.4 ./out/share/lilypond/current
mkdir -p ./out/lib/lilypond/2.8.4
ln -s 2.8.4 ./out/lib/lilypond/current
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/dvips
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/elisp
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts/otf
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts/tfm
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts/type1
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts/svg
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts/map
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/fonts/enc
mkdir -p ./out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/tex
cd ./out/bin && \
                ln -sf ../../lily/out/lilypond . && \
                ln -sf ../../scripts/out/convert-ly . && \
                ln -sf ../../scripts/out/lilypond-book . && \
                ln -sf ../../scripts/out/*.ly .
ln: creating symbolic link `./*.ly' to `../../scripts/out/*.ly': No such file or
directory
make: *** [out/share/lilypond/2.8.4/lilypond-force] Error 1

It seems that make is trying to find a file called *.ly; but of course, that
fails badly since * is supposed to be a wildcard. How do I fix that?

Any help is welcome.
