Hi folks
As I'm working on building a flatpak of Frescobaldi, I must compile
from source all dependencies and bundled applications, including
LilyPond (without the documentation).
I have two questions:
1. Ghostscript is not a requirement for building, but it is a
requirement for running lilypond.
So I'm surprised that ghostscript is treated as an optional program
(see beelow).
2. ./configure found mpost but it's complaining about missing metapost
CTAN package.
Should I be worried about this error? Can I skip the error and see what
happens?
This is the output I'm currently getting:
