songs package doesn't load

U_Fischer — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 08:52:04 -0000

In a current tex system this errors:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{songs}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

gives

! Extra \else.
\IfFileExists@ ...leonpath {#1}{#2}{#3}}\fi \else

The problem is the

\IfFileExists{ifpdf.sty}{\RequirePackage{ifpdf}\ifpdf\SB@pdftrue\fi}

which uses a conditional \ifpdf which is only defined after ifpdf has been loaded and so is unbalanced.

The easiest would be to use simply

\RequirePackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf\SB@pdftrue\fi

#2 compile the package

There's actually only one error I see in the make.txt log; the rest are warnings, which are all normal and expected.

It's hard to diagnose the problem because the error refers to a generated file that is specific to your system. However, it looks like maybe there's something wrong with your LaTeX installation's "makeindex" command, which should be the thing that runs at that point in the make script.

Hello, I try to install the songs package into my ubuntu 18.04 system. Like the INSTALL file mentioned, i run ./configure, which works fine (result is attached). But the make process results in a lot of errors, GNUmakefile:477: recipe for target 'songs.pdf' failed
"make[1]: [songs.pdf] Error 1
make[1]: Verzeichnis „/home/usr/Downloads/songs-3.0/src/songs“ wird verlassen
Makefile:336: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: [all-recursive] Error 1" (complete log is attached), so it isn't helpful to run make install, is it? Do you know what went wrong? is something on my system missing?

Make index with pagenumbers

It would be a very nice if there was a way to make an index (list) that displays the page were you can find the song, rather than the songnumber.
(I've got a mixture of short and long songs and looking at the songnumber i tend to to turn to much pages).

Greetings
