LaTeX .sty files missing #16

When building the book, various .sty files are missing. I've been downloading them one-by-one until make stops failing, but I've downloaded 11 so far, and there is no end in sight.

Is there a list of LaTeX packages required for the book to build? Is there some sort of combined package or distribution that I can download that has all the dependencies? Failing that, can we get the .sty files added to the repository (barring licensing issues), so that we can just call make and have it work?

Can you name some of them? there should be one -- like 'texlive-extras' or
some such...

but maybe its easier just to read the HTML version for now? (could be
easier to fix this problem in person?)

I was working on adding a "building the book" section to the readme. I figure it would be good to have in there since we've had so many discussions about it already.

Additionally, the .pdf is in the repo. But if I'm going to make formatting changes and such, I'd like to be able to build the updates and make sure everything looks right.

The following files are the ones I got through before I got fed up:

  • xifthen.sty
  • imftarg.sty
  • titlesec.sty
  • titletoc.sty
  • chngpage.sty
  • paralist.sty
  • optparams.sty
  • placeins.sty
  • comment.sty
  • thmtools.sty
  • thmpatch.sty

If it's just a texlive addon that has this stuff I'll see if I can't figure out which one. CTAN kept claiming that these were in texlive.

Yes, look for texlive and maybe texlive-extras.

also don't install them one by one -- usually there is a gigantic ubuntu
package
with the lot (I think texlive or texlive extra or some such.)

The following two packages seem to get me through the "missing .sty file" section:

  • texlive-latex-extra
  • texlive-fonts-extra

Now I'm getting an error:

! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \tightlist 

l.456 \tightlist

I feel like this might be something we'd need to work out in person. From looking at the Makefile (lines 1 and 2 in particular) I feel like the hidden dependency might be RanjitsLaptop.

This is certainly not an emergency though. I'll just assume my formatting changes don't look strange for the time being.
