This is just a warning.  It is strongly recommended to put in a \version 
statement so that when you upgrade to a newer version of LilyPond that 
you can easily update your input files.  LilyPond syntax changes from 
time to time.  The convert-ly utility takes care of this (search docs 
for 'convert-ly').

This looks to me like your test file ran just fine.  It ended by 
creating a PDF of your test file.
