There have been occasional comments on -user to the effect that the current windows tutorial does not describe what actually occurs with the Windows install. I've downloaded the latest LilyPond version and redrafted the tutorial based on what now we see. I've also updated all the images.

Don't think it's worth making this into a patch at this point, since checking it would require the ability to make doc. I've put it on a web page:

Is it the non-optimised builds which fail? For a data point, I renamed my ~/lilypond-git then used lily-git.tcl to recreate it, after which I went through the rest of the build as normal. All I saw were the usual warnings about typing and some circular references, but both the binary build and make doc completed normally, producing a binary which reports as version 2.17.24 and corresponding documentation.

In saying "it would require the ability to make doc" I was referring to the fact that, for quite a few contributors, it just takes too long. I can fiddle a make doc by editing orchestra.ly, completing the make and then undoing the edit.

My system is Ubuntu 10.04 with 64 bit, but I don't know what makes my build fail and others not.
