RE: Building lily 2.3.1 on cygwin

[Bertalan Fodor]

Building lily on cygwin is not a trivial task, at last building the
first time on your machine. That's why there is a package maintainer :-)

Building lily is best done with mknetrel. There are almost up to date
instructions on the lilypond site.

This needs to be solved by hand now, but you're right.

There is a problem now with building the new info docs (with pictures).

If you really want to build lily I strongly recommend the mknetrel way.
