There's a surprising amount of interest in contributing to
LilyPond from Windows machines. (err, I mean, from people *with*
Windows machines, not from the actual machines themselves)
As I understand it, people with Windows can:
- run GUB
I haven't tried - I didn't realise this was possible.
Has anyone done it?
- get the sources with git
Tick
- compile the docs without examples by running texi2html manually
Tick, but this is often screwed up if the version
number in snippets is bumped by an LSR update, since
this means they can no longer be compiled with the
latest released version.
- compile the docs with GUB
Must try this ...
- write docstrings, fix bugs, and add new features to .scm files
Tick
However, they cannot:
- compile lilypond
Correct
- write bugfixes, new features, and "code janitor" C++ files
Is the above correct? If so, is there any hope of changing the
cannot-compile status? In particular,
- does anybody feel like making cygwin packages for the missing
software?
- does anybody have VMware (commercial version) and feel like
making a small Linux installation which has all the required
software? Potential contributors would be able to run this
in the free VMware version.
- does anybody feel like making shell accounts available for
windows users? (I'm not at all certain how many windows
contributors would feel comfortable using such a system, but
I include it here for correctness)
I can't commit to helping with this in the foreseeable
future, I'm afraid.
I suspect that the answer to the above questions is "no", so I'll
write the CG / new website to make this clear. But it's worth
checking first.
Cheers,
- Graham
