I did a git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git lilypond cd lilypond sh ./autogen.sh make -j4 and it all worked fine. The fetch took a few minutes --- from here I see only about 300-500KiB/s and there are almost 80MiB to fetch. Using --depth=1 seems to cause the fetch to hang, though. Playing with local clones, depth=1 fetches around 49MiB so it really doesn't save you that much. My suggestion is to clone the whole repository. Also if you already have a local repos, you can use it as a reference source. git clone --reference local-copy-of-lily-source -- git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git new-lily Graham> My attempt to build lilypond failed.
