Yes, I think we should prevent that, if possible – they are indeed of

I just want to remark that building lilypond on recent MacOS versions
work just fine (see, for example, the `lilypond-devel' package for
MacPorts).

We don't have that yet, sorry.  The process of providing 64bit support
would start with defining `darwin-64' as an allowed platform to build
on and to build for, then looking for a suitable Apple SDK for
compilation and installation.[*] All follow-up problems probably have
to be solved case by case.

[*] It should be the one with the lowest version possible so that
older 64bit MacOS versions are not excluded.

Use flex 2.5.37, as the flex 2.6.* C++ lexer is broken (discussed on the Bison 
lists): a stream pointer has been changed in the declaration to a reference 
without doing it in the code. Reported some years ago on the flex list.

MacOS 64-bit build

2019-02-13 Thread Daniel Johnson

Hi all,

Apologies if this is off-topic or excessively noobish.

As an educational process, I've been working on a script to get Lilypond 
2.19.82 to build on MacOS Mojave with dependencies mostly handled by 
Homebrew. I had to build extractpdfmark by hand, but the rest of the 
dependency tree is Homebrew. I am using guile 1.8.8, gcc 7.4.0, and flex 
2.6.4.  Here's my configure line:


PATH="/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin:/usr/local/opt/flex/bin:/usr/local/opt/bison/bin:$PATH" 
\
  CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-7 CXX=/usr/local/bin/gcc-7

  ./configure --with-texgyre-dir=/Library/Fonts --disable-documentation 
--disable-optimising \

  --disable-pipe --disable-debugging --disable-guile2 --disable-profiling

On build, I get a long string of errors originating in out/lexer.cc:

Issue 1375/3: Register scheme engravers

This registers Measure_counter_engraver and Span_stem_engraver
to make them documented and callable like C++ engravers.

commit 6887546c5caf87cdc94252c020f39b43a57bf057

Issue 1375/2: Create Translator_creator class

Previously, translators were created by copying from a context-less
instantiation of the translator containing its documentation.  This had
several unpleasant consequences, the most problematic likely being the
inability to register Scheme engravers because their documentation would
be identical to all other Scheme engravers.

A new Translator_creator class takes over the task of creating
Translator instances when called with a context argument.

As a result of joining the mechanisms for Scheme engravers and C++
engravers, ly:translator-name and ly:translator-description are
reimplemented in a manner resembling object properties.

Author: David Kastrup

Issue 1375/1: Let Translator constructor take a Context argument

This is the first step towards constructing rather than cloning translators
when creating contexts.  On its own, it does not make sense, but the change
is large and mostly mechanical, so keeping it separate from the actually
difficult parts makes sense.

This is not even yesteryear's news but yonderyesteryear's news.  Not
that 2 years are a lot of time at the current development speed.

Thank you both (David and David) so much for engaging on this last step!
Truly wonderful; and if I can just chime in one last time while you are
thinking through the problem: I *think* (not 100% certain, but close to it)
that the ideal final implementation path would be not just to add
alternateTextSpannerEngraver as, say, Alternate_text_spanner_engraver, but
rather to *replace* the existing Text_spanner_engraver with (the
implementation of) alternateTextSpannerEngraver. I think this was clear in
my previous mail, but I just wanted to insert one last time here as the
question of Scheme-vs-C++ final resting spot gets considered.

It does?  What kind of documentation cannot be achieved in Scheme that
would be possible in C++?

Here is some page from the Internals reference:

File: lilypond-internals.info,  Node: Merge_rests_engraver,  Next: 
Metronome_mark_engraver,  Prev: Mensural_ligature_engraver,  Up: Engravers and 
Performers

2.2.71 Merge_rests_engraver
---

Engraver to merge rests in multiple voices on the same staff.  This
works by gathering all rests at a time step.  If they are all of the
same length and there are at least two they are moved to the correct
location as if there were one voice.

   Properties (read)

 ‘suspendRestMerging’ (boolean)
  When using the Merge_rest_engraver do not merge rests when
  this is set to true.

   ‘Merge_rests_engraver’ is not part of any context.


This is an engraver written in Scheme.

The issue which would come up is that it is written in Scheme, rather
than C++.  This has implications for documentation.  I could work this
into the existing C++ code and present a patch, if that's best.

Re: 64-bit version of Lilypond?

2019-02-13 Thread Knut Petersen

Hi Sven!

It does work (with complaints) on 10.13 as well as 10.14. But Apple will
stop supporting 32-bit applications in 10.15 which will be released
sometime in September, so we need a 64-bit build before then.


I was not aware of the fact that MacOS support will be broken in a few months, 
and I don't  think that anybody currently works on that problem.

I don't have access to a mac, I don't think that I know anybody who uses one 
within a 20 miles radius, and my knowledge of MacOS is almost limited to the 
single information that it does exist.

Therefore  I definitely will not work on 64-bit mac support in gub.

If nobody volunteers to implement a 64-bit mac target in gub, lilypond on the 
mac might soon be history.

LilyPond's GUB build system is currently being repaired. Once it returns to

LilyPond. The next version of macOS is planned to only use 64-bit software.

 * Some undocumented limitations were removed from gub and lilypond. To give an 
example: gub only was able to succeed if it was executed as user gub and if it 
was installed in the directory /home/gub/gub/NewGub. Both limitations were 
removed.
 * Gub was only able to succeed on some very old linux distributions, e.g. 
ubuntu 14 and 16. Today it's possible to use gub on at least ubuntu 14, 16 and 
18, opensuse tumbleweed, opensuse leaf, debian 9.7,  mint and archlinux. It is 
not necessary to boot one of the tested distributions, you might
   chroot to some minimal disk image or use e.g. VirtualBox on a Windows 
system. I don't know of anybody who tried that, but I don't see a reason why 
building lilypond installers using VirtualBox on a MacOS host should fail.

"LilyPond's GUB build system is currently being repaired" is misleading: Gub 
from grahams repository + pull request or e.g the gub at 
https://github.com/knupero/gub.git (grahams gub + pull requests 53-60) has been tested by 
a lot of people, I don't see a reason not to use it.

Some work has to be done:

A lot of ancient software is built and used, the result is distributed. Ancient means e.g. that and even older version of guile is used. Ancient means that gub still use gcc 4. Ancient means that gub uses a maintenance release of glibc 2.3 published in 2007, glibc 2.3 dates back to the year 2002. 
Ancient means that gub builds, uses and distributes python 2.4.5 although at least lilypond's script musicxml2ly requires at least python version 2.7, a version released in the year 2010. Current gub only succeeds to test lilypond and to build the lilypond documentation because a bug in gub 
(introduced more than a decade ago) has the result that the system's python and not the python compiled by gub is used during some parts of the build process.


Currently a few people work on gub, but I tend to believe that none of the lilypond developers test if a patch is compatible to gub before they propose it. After a lilypond patch is proposed, James does test it. But even James does not use gub for testing. Gub does allow to build branches of 
lilypond it fetches from a local git-daemon, it is also possible to instruct gub to directly use a local lilypond git directory. But these features are hidden, undocumented, and therefore probably unused.


We  should update some of the ancient software gub uses. I think some people 
work on that.

We should update our documentation. Will be done later, most of the relevant 
information has been posted to lilypond-devel.

If you have a patch based on current master I can at least test that for you.]

It does work (with complaints) on 10.13 as well as 10.14. But Apple will
stop supporting 32-bit applications in 10.15 which will be released
sometime in September, so we need a 64-bit build before then.
