Update Pillar-related installation instructions

[dmitrizagidulin]

Our installation / Pillar setup instructions no longer seem to work. I went to set up Updated Pharo by Example on a new laptop, and couldn't get it to compile either the whole book or individual chapters.

I took the following steps:

1. Installed MacTex (made sure pdftex was accessible on my current path, etc)
2. Ran ./download.sh, it ran no problem, installed Pillar on Pharo 4.0, etc.
3. But now running either ./compile.sh or ./compileBook.sh doesn't work.

Running ./compile.sh by itself gives the following error:

o compile your LaTeX files launch "bash pillarPostExport.sh".

Here is how much of LuaTeX's memory you used:

I'm not sure what is causing the File 'support/latex/sbabook/sbabook.cls' not found. error, because the file is there:

ls support/latex/sbabook/sbabook.cls
-rw-r--r--  1 dmitri  staff    11K Apr  1 14:29 support/latex/sbabook/sbabook.cls

It looks like something has changed as of the Migrate to the sbabook class commit. How do I install / compile things now?

(Oh, I also noticed that /pillarPostExport.sh is in the .gitignore file. That doesn't seem right; should it be ignored?)

[cdlm]

pillarPostExport.sh should definitely be ignored as it's generated each time pillar export gets called.

About sbabook.cls not being found, I'm not sure. The LaTeX compile happens from inside the book-result directory, so you should check that it's accessible from there, instead of from the git clone. In any case I'd try a clean (removing book-result) build before anything else.

[dmitrizagidulin]

I keep seeing references to ./root/support/latex/sbabook/sbabook.cls in the errors. Where's the root part coming from

[cdlm]

Those are links that are created from the pillarPostExport.sh script. They should be created in each book-result/$CHAPTER/ directory and pointing back up to book-result.

[dmitrizagidulin]

@cdlm - If you check out a fresh copy of this repo, run the download script, does compiling work for you? (And if so, what are the environmental differences? What OS, etc?) I can't get it to work (and another person at Camp Smalltalk this weekend couldn't get it to work either).

[cdlm]

On my machine download.sh gets a VM that's too old to run on OS X 10.12 so it doesn't even build the Pillar image… I'll try to get the build to work by downloading a working VM/Pillar image myself, but cannot guarantee when :(

Thanks, very much appreciate it.
