Thanks for taking the time. I cannot recall what error I had now - the 
machine that WSL is on is a work machine so I tend to keep it clear of 
personal stuff but I was curious and had some time on my hands - but I 
do remember being able to build LilyPond just not the doc.

I'll check again next week, maybe try an earlier version of Ubuntu if 
such a thing exists on MS marketplace these days.
