From inside the directory where you extracted the zip invoke

find Messiah -name "*.*ly" -type f -exec convert-ly -f "2.13.8" -e {} ";" 
>convert-messiah.log 2>&1

[the above is one line]
and all files will be converted. However there remain a few files
that require manual intervention (see the created logfile)

...which fails as some of us already reported.

I then checked out https://github.com/nsceaux/nenuvar and downloaded
the repository from there.

That seems to build (using make) out of the box although there are a
few warnings.

Kind regards.
