LaTeX Error: File `support/latex/sbabook/sbabook.cls' not found

[dmitrizagidulin]

I can't get the PDF to build correctly for some reason. (Same thing happens when I try to build https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/DynamicWebDevelopmentWithSeaside, actually).

I ran download.sh - no prob.
Ran ./pillar export.
Then bash pillarPostExport.sh.
Got the following error.

Please advise? :)

sbabook.cls is in a submodule; try git submodule update.

There is a line for that in compile.sh but you skipped it by running pillar directly.

[dmitrizagidulin]

@cdlm Thanks!
(I only mentioned the running the pillar directly part since the instructions implied it was equivalent to running compile.sh.)
Running ./compile.sh gave me a different error:

[cdlm]

Either the package is not in your TeXlive install (try tlmgr install datetime2) or you're using an old release (we use TeXlive 2015)

[dmitrizagidulin]

Ah, I see. I didn't know about TeXlive. I installed LuaTeX from here http://www.luatex.org/download.html

$ which luatex
/Users/dmitriz/util/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/luatex
$ luatex
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238)
 \write18 enabled.

Oh, hmm, it does seem to be TeX Live 2015.. maybe the old PDFlatex is also in the path still somewhere... Will check.

[dmitrizagidulin]

Ok, I removed the older pdflatex dirs from the path, and now it gives me:

pillarPostExport.sh: line 9: lualatex: command not found

So I clearly don't have the right texlive distribution. Can you please point me to the correct one? There's nothing about this in the pillar book install instructions.

[cdlm]

You probably got a very minimal TeXlive, or even just the luatex package of a TeXlive. In which case, I would be surprised anything works at all. I usually just install the complete TeXlive, even though it's huge.

[cdlm]

http://texlive.org

There is just one TeXlive distribution (well, one release each year). The difference is how much of it do you install. If you're on Mac, there is http://www.tug.org/mactex/index.html (it adds a few mac apps to a normal TeXlive, but I never really used it). If you're on linux, your distro should have texlive packages.

Otherwise, my preferred installation path is the netinstall (download a small installer script, run/pick options, then wait for the rest to download and install)
http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html

[dmitrizagidulin]

Ok, I think I understand now. I had MacTex 2014 installed previously. I thought luatex was a different distribution, hence trying to install those packages directly.

I'm updating to mactex 2015 now (the live update utility didn't work, so I'm uninstalling the old & reinstalling the new version). Hopefully that'll sort it out.

Thanks again for your help.

[dmitrizagidulin]

Ok, getting closer. (hopefully). I've installed TeX Live 2015 (via maxtex). Added /usr/texbin to my path.
Now the error is:

Compiling PDF from book-result/Teapot/Teapot.tex

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt lualatex.fmt
/usr/texbin/mktexfmt: kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT failed, aborting early.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/texbin/mktexfmt line 25.
cat: Teapot.log: No such file or directory
Can't generate the PDF!

[dmitrizagidulin]

I think I've got it. (The error above was being caused by - it was using the wrong kpsewhich from an older latex install.)
Thanks again for your help, I'm closing the issue.

[dmitrizagidulin]

(I updated the installation and book generation instructions in the readme).
