Hi Jacques,

Hello folks,
I ran this test with a 7.4Mb, 55 page score, to compare the binaries
provided by lilypond.org <http://lilypond.org> and the natives ones I
(finally) built locally on my 8 Gb RAM Mac Mini.
The necessary libraries have been installed using both MacPorts and
Homebrew, since not all of them are supplied by a single source.
I find this surprising, since both MacPorts and Homebrew provide a
LilyPond package. What are the dependencies missing on each side? Have
you tried looking at their respective build definitions? The one for
Homebrew is here:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/lilypond.rb
and for MacPorts it's here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/textproc/lilypond/Portfile
By the way, it's a very good idea (well, it's essential) to build
LilyPond if you want to contribute to it, but for anyone just looking
for native Apple Silicon binaries of LilyPond, just install from
MacPorts or Homebrew. MacPorts is recommended for the time being because
Homebrew uses version 2.22 with Guile 2. Since we did not support
byte-compilation of Scheme code at that time, the Homebrew version will
be slower (and in particular have bad startup time).
Best,
Jean
