FWIW, I just tried this out on my decrepit Windows 7 machine (64-bit, 8GB, i7 core). After about 8 minutes of whizzing and whirring at 12% CPU capacity and utilising just under 5 GB of RAM, it returned the same error.

Being a layman, most of this is all going over my head. But I gather that compiling this particular project will not be possible for the time being on my current machine, so I’ll either try to get my decrepit laptop up and running, or ask a friend to help out :-)
Thanks for the replies,
Brent.

Last time I looked (about 1.5 years ago) the problem was a missing
mingw-w64 package that exists for mingw (the 32bit version) for which I
think it is not actually required for the lilypond build, only for GUB
in general.
I'm not very knowledgeable w/r to GUB. So here is a question for those
with better knowledge:
Is it possible to reduce the required packages for GUB for particular
software (as in lilypond)?
If that's the case I'd expect it to be fairly straight forward to
replace the mingw stuff by mingw-w64 since the later is (or was)
supposed to be a dropin replacement for the former.
Kind regards,
Michael
