+Then, configure, patch, make and install LilyPond using these commands:
+
+@example
+ CC="cc -I/sw/include" CXX="c++ -I/sw/include" LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib" \
+ ./configure --prefix=/sw
+ make -C lily out/parser.hh out/parser.cc out/config.h
+ patch -p0 < darwin.patch
+ make -C lily out/parser.o
+ make DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT=/dev/null all
+ make install
+@end example
+For installing, you must be root, of course.

+@unnumberedsubsec FLex-2.5.4a and gcc-3.0
+
+Flex 2.5.4a does not produce g++-3.0 compliant C++ code. To compile
+LilyPond with gcc-3.0 you may do:
+
+@example
+ CC=gcc-3.0 CXX=g++-3.0 ./configure --enable-config=gcc-3.0
+ make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily out-gcc-3.0/lexer.cc
+ patch -p1 < lexer-gcc-3.0.patch
+ make conf=gcc-3.0 -C lily
+@end example
+
+Note that this is fixed in Debian/unstable for flex >= 2.5.4a-13.
+
+@unnumberedsubsec Linux-2.4.0, Guile-1.4 --with-threads
+
+There's a bug in certain kernels around version 2.4.0, that is
+triggered when using Guile 1.4 compiled with pthreads. You'll see
+random segmentation fault crashes of LilyPond. Upgrade to a newer
+version of Linux. If you can't do that, you may try to recompiling
+Guile without threads (YMMV):
+
+@example
+ guile-1.4$ ./configure --without-threads; make all install
+@end example
+
+
