touch just creates the named file as an empty file (if it doesn't exist yet, otherwise it reads and writes a byte from it in order to update the modification date). The only way (I am simplifying here since the symbolic-link related ways are too weird to be relevant here) to have it clamor "no such file or directory" is when in the _current_ directory (whatever it may be) there _is_ no directory named "regtests". So probably your current directory is not what the instructions expect. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
