This is interesting. A couple of hours ago I had the discussion with
Federico
whether there is a reason for compiling guile in LilyDev postinstall
based on branch_release-1-8 rather
than just taking guile-1.8.8.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org.
Are the fixes on top of the guile-1.8.8 release really important for us?
We probably still need to configure using --disable-error-on-warning ,
and without those changes, building will fail at least when trying to
build the documentation with a newer Texinfo version.
./configure option "--disable-error-on-warning" made guile-1.8.8 compile (yay) The "errors" were warnings raised to errors apparently (?)
After that, lilypond-2.19.83 ./configure was happy about the guile version, and completed configure.
