Cannot build individual LaTeX documents

[pgrange]

When trying to build individual LaTeX documents I get the following errors:

#> nix-shell --pure --run make
trace: Not using IOHK default nixpkgs (use 'niv drop nixpkgs' to use default for better sharing)

System configuration

I'm running macOS 12.6 on Intel

Steps to reproduce

Install nix

I installed nix according to MacOS instructions:

#> sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

Setup nix configuration

In a new nix ready terminal, I've setup nix configuration according to cardano-ledger build instructions:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf 
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
substituters        = https://cache.iog.io https://cache.nixos.org/
trusted-public-keys = hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ= cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=
EOF

Build

Then, from cardano-ledger directory:

#> nix-shell --pure --run make

[JaredCorduan]

@pgrange what directory are you in?

[pgrange]

Thanks for your quick feedback @JaredCorduan.

My bad, I was in the root directory of the project. I did not pay attention to the directories that were mentioned in the text.

I think something like that would be more absent-minded-proof for people like me ;)

cd eras/shelley/formal-spec
nix-shell --pure --run make

[JaredCorduan]

maybe

cd myLaTexDir
nix-shell --pure --run make

would make it clearer that this is instructions for more that just the shelley spec?

[pgrange]

That's probably better 👍 even maybe:

cd <myLaTexDir>
nix-shell --pure --run make
