That's pretty good, actually. Not being able to do native/online
compilations by anybody wanting to is bad. Yes. Fixes to GUB (possibly
even just to its information/documentation, maybe it _can_ do it
already) are of course welcome:
David,
At a brief look over GUB, the really big question in my mind is why on earth it seems to want to build *everything*.
A Lilypond build tool for all platforms = a great idea.
A Lilypond build tool for all platforms to which someone's added half a dozen extra unrelated targets (possibly very large ones such as OpenOffice) = a terrible idea.
If I did anything to "fix" it, it would be to strip it right back to a tool that does _one_ job well. And I don't know whether that's likely to be popular thing (although correct me if I'm wrong there)...
... because IMHO a build tool that takes 24+ hours to rebuild after making tweaks to it --and that's on a high spec machine-- is not a very useful tool.
