unfortunately it turns out that our guile (and lilypond) maintainer has

Does anybody have fun to take over maintainership of guile or lilypond?
First, let me say that I have no intention of maintaining lilypond - I
am aware that even replying to this e-mail puts me in danger of
acquiring another couple of packages ;-) I absolutely love lilypond and
would like it to stay within Cygwin if at all possible, but I don't have
the time right now to take on a package that is going to be a little
problematic.
I had a go at building lilypond for x86_64 about 18 months ago, but
didn't get very far. I managed to produce an executable, but 'make doc'
and 'make check' both failed, so I didn't have any confidence in the
binary produced. My need for a working lilypond exceeded the tinkering
time available, so I just used Fedora.
I've tidied up the cygport file this evening, and this (along with a
small patch) is attached. Hopefully this will be a starting point for a
prospective maintainer with the time to do it justice.
Dave.
Thanks Dave,
for the starting point.
I used that as base for the 64 bit package just released.
Removing the cygwin specific usage of
cygwin_conv_to_posix_path / cygwin_conv_path
did the work. Make check passed on 64bit, and make doc fails
on a corner case, most of the HTML documentation was built.
