Subject: Build: perl-less build isn't supported (issue 3578).
X-Git-Url: https://git.donarmstrong.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=49252ba6db660cc960f6646cc8fdda0f53ab98c3;p=lilypond.git

Build: perl-less build isn't supported (issue 3578).

Although labelled as optional, perl is required to build the
.pfb font files, which are not included in the tarball. With
this commit, perl becomes a required dependency.
