Re: need help with 2.22 on mac

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

As I mentioned, I did try 2.23, and I applied convert-ly to all my files.

The problem I ran into was:

    Preprocessing graphical objects...ERROR: In procedure %resolve-variable:
    Unbound variable: laissez-vibrer::print

However, unlike most of the previous errors that could be fixed, 

because they tell you a file name and line number and the offending code, 

this error does not tell me a file name nor line number.

It likely will if you add at the top of your .ly file, before any includes:

#(ly:set-option 'compile-scheme-code)

(Caveat for other people reading this list: this does not work on Windows currently.)

Without that, I don't know how to address the issue.

I don't really write scheme code, so it is unlikely to be something I wrote.

I have cut & pasted some scheme code from LSR into some libraries I include, 

but I did convert-ly on those already.

How to address the issue is what I tried to explain above.

You need to find where your code uses "laissez-vibrer::print" (compile-scheme-code should help to pinpoint it), and replace that with "ly:tie::print".

Also, has \laissezVibrer changed since 2.22?

Does that even sound like something that would be related to the version upgrade?

Yes. The syntax of \laissezVibrer has not changed but there was a minor change in its internals.

Jean

Thinking about this more, it is likely that I did install the previous 2.22 version from homebrew.

Because it certainly was a lot slower than any previous version.

I guess I'll try that again.  

Besides wanting/needing to work right now, IIUC, the next official release will as usual not support contemporary macs,

It definitely will.

and the homebrew version of 2.24 will also likely be as slow as homebrew 2.22--is there any reason to think the homebrew 2.24 version will be compiled differently? 

Yes. LilyPond 2.23 supports compiling Guile bytecode, 2.22 doesn’t.

Thanks for the help and explanation.

Great news that mac will finally be supported in the post-Guile 1.8 world. 

I usually don't update versions unless there is a reason,
and getting rid of artificial slowness is certainly a good one

so I will likely follow all this advice once it hits the cask.

 

Thanks,
