Compiling a book (cont.)

Now that you have all the images used by in the book, as described in previous post, you can compile LaTeX file(s) into PDF book.
Main file is book/crochess.tex, which inputs all the other chapters, i.e. TeX files.
This can be done by simply invoking ./pdf.sh script, if you're on Linux. On Windows, best approach is to invoke pdflatex on the command line:
cd book
pdflatex -draftmode crochess.tex
pdflatex crochess.tex

Of course, for this to work you'll have to have LaTeX installed, base install (cca. 200 Mb) + some dependencies (hyperref, wrapfig, inputenc, charter, helvet, geometry, graphicx) should be enough.
Other approach is to install complete LaTeX with just about everything, but this could take up to 2 Gb of your hard drive. You can get LaTex from the official site.

Once you have the book compiled, you can admire work pretty much in the progress:
