I have LilyPond 2.19.83 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit version 1903. Both of them behave the same way on Windows console: output a blank line and exit. Windows 10 does the same thing on PowerShell. But, with Windows Subsystem for Linux, one can type "bash" in the console and it switches to a bash environment. That seems to execute things as expected. I haven't tried Git on Windows' bash shell. Now, about GhostScript helper programs: C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin>dir *gs* /B gs-9.21.dll gs-9.dll gs.dll gs.exe gsettings.exe gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe gspawn-win32-helper.exe gsx.exe I also have PDF Creator (from pdfforge.org) which has its own GhostScript. C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\Ghostscript\Bin>dir /B gsdll32.dll gsdll32.lib gswin32c.exe C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\Ghostscript\Bin> gswin32c.exe GPL Ghostscript 9.25 (2018-09-13) Copyright (C) 2018 Artifex Software, Inc.

I can do further testing if requested. -- Karlin High Missouri, USA _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
