LilyPond is known to be slow if compiled with Cygwin, that's why the development team ships binaries for Windows compiled with MinGW. > Can I use GCC 3.4. to compile the code? > > If it is o.k. to use 3.4. where would I change the code to specify that GCC > 3.4 > or above is o.k. to use? > > You guys are my last hope before rebuilding GCC :( It's horrible doing things > in > windows :) You might want to try building with MinGW http://mingw.org/ -- they released recently an alpha release of GCC 4.3, which is certainly suitable to build LilyPond. Software compiled with MinGW is generally much faster than software compiled with Cygwin.
