Hi David,
I'm running it right now on a newer mac intel, and am noticing tons of
xorg stuff... is this for the GUI? Does the regular X11 not cover
these dependencies?
Thanks for doing this!

I'm a big fan of Macports, and since lilypond seems to be so

research and
many, many failed attempts, I finally have a portfile that seems to
work. Can people test this portfile to verify that lilypond builds
correctly? And if it reliably does so, can this information be put on
the lilypond download page?
To compile lilypond using Macports, first make sure you have XCode
installed. Then just download Macports from http://
www.macports.org/ and
install it, add /opt/local to your PATH, and then run "sudo port
install
lilypond". That's it. Macports will download, compile, and install
lilypond and its dependencies.
Also, I have not yet tested the GUI option in lilypond. To try
building it, run "sudo port install lilypond +gui" instead of just
"sudo port
install lilypond". If it works, great -- if it doesn't, can people
post
their error messages?
David,
Thanks for doing this. It's a very good idea!
I just tried it and it failed when building pango. It said my Xcode
is too old (2.0) and that I need to update to at least 2.4.1. This
is an eMac G4 that's about 4 years old. I have an Intel iMac on my
desk at work, though, so I'll try it there, too. It's a much newer
machine and the Xcode tools are probably up-to-date.
