This is interesting. A couple of hours ago I had the discussion with

Federico

whether there is a reason for compiling guile in LilyDev postinstall

based on branch_release-1-8 rather

than just taking guile-1.8.8.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org.

Are the fixes on top of the guile-1.8.8 release really important for us?

We probably still need to configure using --disable-error-on-warning ,

and without those changes, building will fail at least when trying to

build the documentation with a newer Texinfo version.

./configure option "--disable-error-on-warning"  made guile-1.8.8 compile (yay) The "errors" were warnings raised to errors apparently (?)

After that, lilypond-2.19.83 ./configure was happy about the guile version, and completed configure.

But then lilypond errors out on:

GNUmakefile:295: recipe for target 'out/internals.texi' failed"
