Compiling lilypond on iMac + Big Sur

[Michael Hendry]

Dear lilypond team.

I recently acquired a new iMac, with Mac OS 11.5.1, and I’ve managed to migrate 
most of my software and data from its predecessor. Unfortunately neither 
lilypond nor Frescobaldi falls into that group.

I’ve used git to clone lilypond, but am struggling to get it compiled.

The output below from a run of autogen.sh includes the advice to contact you - 
hence this email. I’d previously had problems with reports that /lib/cpp had 
failed a sanity check, but I got a bit further by exporting CPP=/usr/bin/cpp 
and CXXCPP=/usr/bin/cpp before running it.

I can’t find “INSTALL.txt”, and I could do with some help with the other issues 
raised in the output.

Regards,

Michael Hendry
