Hi James!
I'd like to help here if I can.
Thanks
However at home I am on metered internet and it appears that after make lilypond it starts to download files? Can you tell me approximately how large the data that will be downloaded is - speed of download isn't an issue, just the amount.
Gub + downloaded source files: about 710 MB
Also, I assume we can use the same make -jX CPU_COUNT=X parameters to help speed up things?
No. But gub itself (repeatedly executed by 'make lilypond') uses -jX to build packages whenever the package specification allows it. On my system (i7-4790K, 55/10 MBit network connection) 'make lilypond' takes about 185 minutes.
Finally - in case I am being stupid, I don't follow the GUB threads in detail - I obviously have all the reqs to build LP and make doc etc. So apart from this git repo is there anything else I need to have installed?
Nothing unusual. But our python seems to be incompatible to gcc 8.x. gcc-8 might be installed as long as there is also a gcc-7 somewhere in PATH.
