If you read INSTALL.txt, you'll find URLs, but you'll also find out
that mftrace is only necessary if you want to use scalable fonts in
PDF files with your scores. An alternative to building these font
files yourself is to download them from lilypond.org as described on
http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe/lilypond/.
