I want to do some simple music notation and decided to try the abc package as a less-steep option. However when I tried the simple example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{abc}
\begin{document}
Text
\begin{abc}[name=c-dur]
X: 1 % start of header
K: C % scale: C major
"Text"C4 G4 | (3FED c4 G2 |
\end{abc}
\end{document}
running as
"%texpath%bin\win32\pdflatex.exe" --shell-escape mwe.tex
or
"%texpath%bin\win32\pdflatex.exe" -shell-escape mwe.tex
then it compiles but with the (clearly not correct) error:
Package abc Warning: You have set the `shellescape' option, but you ran
(abc) (pdf)latex without the `-shell-escape' command line
(abc) option. Fix it either with the `noshellescape' option
(abc) in your document or the correct call of (pdf)latex.
Compilation completes but with partial output as below. On Windows 8.1. My Texlive installation did not initially include music, but I later added the abc package only (so may be other dependencies missing but not reported?). What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, but as a Windows-free user, I don't know how to help. – egreg Jan 06 '16 at 21:31abcm2ps. It has a file calledINSTALLthat saysChange the file 'config.h' according to your preferences, compile all the '.c' files using an ANSI C compiler, and link them together.My C is very rusty, but hey, maybe I can make sense of aconfig.hfile. Except I don't seeconfig.h, I seechinese.abcand thendeco.abc. There's also some DLLs in there. – Robert Soupe Jan 07 '16 at 05:34
