Two people try to get lilypond for 2.0.12, but hit a roadblock

Hi,

I just found out that there are currently three people who try to get
lilypond to work with guile 2.0.12, but they hit a roadblock on the
guile-side:

From http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/guilev2-work-was-LilyPond-boolean-syntax-true-and-false-td185707.html

Can someone here help Andrew Bernard and Thomas Morley build lilypond
with the self-built guile?

That LilyPond does not work with Guile 2.0 is like the worst case
scenario for Guile adoption, so it would be great if we could help them
get this moving again.

Best wishes,
Arne

Thanks.  I recently created a patch set for LilyPond to make configure
use guile-2.0.pc/guile-2.2.pc files -- that should take care of the
configure thing.  Just sent a reply to the lilypond-devel list.

Having guile-2.0 and 2.2 play nice when installed alongside eachother
could make testing with both versions a bit easier and possibly help
this go forward a bit.

Greetings,
Jan
