installing lilydev on OSX

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

I was tring to set up lilydev within virtualbox on OSX and had some
trouble.
Please let me know if you have any clues as to how I should proceed.


I was able to get virtualbox installed.

However, when loading the lilydev vm, there were two concerning things.

The first was right after choosing install, the following mount errors
appeared (briefly, I had to screen capture it).

mount: mounting /dev/sda on /media failed: Invalid argument
umount: can't umount /media: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/sda on /media failed: Invalid argument


The second issue was during the install, the debian package manager
failed.  I tried several different mirror options, but they all produced
the same error:

[!!] Configure the package manager

Bad archive mirror

An error has been detected while trying to use the specified Debian archive
mirror.

Possible reasons for the error are: incorrect mirror specified;  mirror is
not available (possibly due to an unreliable network connection);  mirror
is broken (for example because an invalid Release file was found);  mirror
does not support the correct Debian version.

Additional details may be available in /var/log/syslog on virtual console 4.

Please check the specified mirror or try a different one.



Since I couldn't figure out a working mirror, and it provided me the option
to continue the install without the package manager, I proceeded without
the mirror.

I wondered whether the package manager issue was due to the network.  But
once I completed the install, rebooted the VM and logged in, I was able to
run ping on the command line with success.  And the lilypond script that
ran automatically completed with success.



Continuing through the quick start pages, when I run lily-git.tcl, it
opened a window with messages like

...checkout master...
already on master
your branch is up-to-date on 'origin/master'
...
switched to branch 'dev/local_working'


git-cl is available, and the git pull command says it's up to date.

I updated my Google account access and requested an account on the issue
tracker on the dev list.



Since git-cl seemed to be only for making changes, I figured I'd go ahead
and try to build lilypond based on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/compiling-with-lilydev

So, I tried the following:

cd $LILYPOND_GIT
sh autogen.sh --noconfigure
mkdir -p build/
cd build/
../configure


And got these errors from the configure:

...
checking FlexLexer.h location... conftest.cc:2:23: fatal error:
FlexLexer.h: No such file or directory
 #include <FlexLexer.h>
                       ^
compilation terminated.
...
ERROR: Please install required programs:  FlexLexer.h (flex package)
guile-config < 1.9.0 (installed: 2.0.13) (guile-devel, guile-dev or
libguile-dev package) libguile (libguile-dev, guile-devel or guile-dev
package). GUILE-with-rational-bugfix



So, do you think this error is based on the package manager issue?
Or is this expected behavior?


Please let me know if you have any suggestions for how I should proceed to
get my lilybin installed and working.



Thanks,
