Yes, that README is dead long time (for now you may find the one from Enterprise book more useful https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoForTheEnterprise-english/blob/master/README.md). We are working on a book workflow and will provide a better documentation soon. You need pdflatex to compile pdf from latex. Also you should check https://github.com/DamienCassou/pillar-documentation to understand how pillar works. In 2 words: put your chapter in a dedicated dir in pillar-format file. Include it in pillar.conf file, then compile.sh will generate both html, latex, markdown versions for your chapter and a book with all chapters.
Feel free to ask for more.
