This is not enough to analyze the issue. Please start with a clean git directory and say, after configuring and calling `make`, ``` make check VERBOSE=1 &> `log-file` ``` and send `log-file` (compressed with gzip or something similar). > I more or less followed the path described here > https://danieljohnson.name/blog/installing-lilypond-on-macos, These instructions are quite outdated. Current LilyPond versions *do* build with clang, AFAIK – note that Guile 3 must be built with exactly the same compiler as LilyPond. You might look at the recipes from either HomeBrew or MacPorts how they install LilyPond; link to the files can be found at the formula pages: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/lilypond https://ports.macports.org/port/lilypond/details/ For the current development LilyPond version the main difference to these formulae is that you *must* use Guile 3. I haven't had yet the time (and energy) to update the MacPorts formula, unfortunately. > 3. Installing dblatex was a nightmare. The Python3 port (which is dblatex version 0.3.12, AFAIK) builds fine with MacPorts: https://ports.macports.org/port/dblatex/details/ https://sourceforge.net/p/dblatex/dblatex-py3/ci/default/tree/ Werner
