Compiling pillar documents in Windows

Is it possible to compile pillar documents under windows?
I have no problem in doing that in my OSX machine, but I need it to do it in Windows and can't figure it out. Guess support is only for *NIX os?
thanks in advance

Re: Compiling pillar documents in Windows

I am doing my pillar work in CentOS Linux and Ubuntu 14.

Now, I think you can get it working in Windows but the main issue will be generating PDF files as the system uses pdflatex and I don't know how to do that in Windows.

HTH,

Phil

Phil,

Exactly that's my point I don't know if its possible to generate PDFs in Windows. In OSX works fine...because pdf2latex is there....

Thanks

I already configured pillar to work on Mark's Windows laptop. Mark, can
you please answer?

you can generate HTML locally and let a continuous integration server
build pdf. You can use https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/ if you
want.

And if you really need to generate the pdf on Windows, you can install http://miktex.org.

It provides a full LaTeX environment (including pdflatex) for Windows.

Re: Compiling pillar documents in Windows

Hi,

Also you can think check out luatex[1][2]. Its size is small, offers
programmability via Lua and runs on windows. By the way, I'm starting a
conversation on Moose mailing list about new ways of making structured
interactive documentation on Pharo/Moose. Still alpha/rookie code with
unanswered questions, but progressing continuously.
