Problems building Lilypond

[Peter Teeson]

Greetings from Toronto:
I am sort of retired but still enjoy my Macintosh. (Mac OS X Panther  
10.3.9, gcc 3.3)
To keep my hand in and to refresh my faded Unix skills I decided to try  
building Lilypond 2.6.3.
(yes I know you have a .dmg but as I said it's to keep my hand  
in..<smile>)
This meant getting and installing all the dependancies - which I have  
done.
I then did a ./configure for Lilypond which had a problem I was able to  
identify and fix
But when I tried make I run into  another problem.
I hope the information I provided is helpful to you but if not please  
get back to me.

=========== Problems ==========
Problem (0) stepmake does not handle spaces in paths (e.g. .../Version  
2.6.3)?
Previously everything worked well so I am wondering if it has something  
to do with stepmake?
Please observe that I have a fairly deep path and also a space in one  
directory name.
I renamed the directory to  replace the spacewith '-'.
So perhaps stepmake needs to deal with spaces in paths?

Problem (1) g++ does not recognize -shared option
Note: After I changed directory name and re-ran ./config
(a) here's what it says about g++
checking for g++... g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking g++ version... 3.3

(b) trying make
