Hello Hi jonathan
I have to check because this is the first book we wrote with Pillar. Normally with more recent books I add a build to produce automatically the pdf (but I have to check because latex is sometimes super boring -like not offering the same packages). > Hi all, > > I'd like to be able to build the EnterprisePharo book, so I might contribute > to it with some improvements. However, the README seems to be out of date. What you can do is to issue PRs if they break we will > > The 'download.sh' file mentioned under 'Download Pillar' is not there. > There's a 'subdownload.sh' file, but that doesn't do or output anything, and > looking into it, the URL returns a 404 > (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pillar-markup/pillar/master/download.sh > <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pillar-markup/pillar/master/download.sh>). > > So I manually cloned the pillar git project from > https://github.com/pillar-markup/pillar > <https://github.com/pillar-markup/pillar>.

Yes. between pillar 6 and 7 we revisited fully the pipeline and the configuration managed and many more. > So, I created a symlink from '_support' to 'support' and tried building > again, but that fails with the message: KeyNotFound: latexWriter. This seems > to be related to the contents of the 'pillar.conf' file. What we can try is to copy the _support file of a more recent version + edit the config and index/main.pillar files.
