Re: compiling lilypond 2.8.4 on cygwin

[Mats Bengtsson]

The only thing I can say is Good Luck!!!
If you search the mailing list archives, you will notice that there
have been serious problems to compile LilyPond on Cygwin in the
past. If you manage, I hope you will share your success story with the
mailing list. Regarding your particular error message, I noticed that
Han-Wen just fixed it in CVS so hopefully you will at least get somewhat
further with the coming 2.8.6 version.
