This is the repository for the Open Advice book. You can find the LaTeX source of the book here.
To build a pdf file out of the LaTeX source install pdflatex and run the command
make
If you don't have make, you can run:
pdflatex Open-Advice
To build all other formats run:
make all
If you have made local changes to the source of the book and want to render a PDF again:
make clean
make
On Debian-based systems, you can install "pdflatex" with:
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
On Gentoo-based systems, "pdflatex" and required extra pacakges can be installed with:
emerge texlive-latexrecommended xcolor
"File `todonotes.sty' not found."
This means you need to run the above apt-get command, because you are missing one of the LaTeX extra packages.
"File `tocstyle.sty' not found."
If your distro doesn't have that you can download it from http://www.tug.org/texlive/devsrc/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/tocstyle.sty and place it in the root directory of the book.
