Concurrency Primer

This repository contains the LaTeX source for a pretentiously-named, but hopefully concise, introduction to low-level concurrency.

How do I build it?

Install a modern, Unicode-aware LaTeX, such as LuaLaTeX. On Linux, this is usually as simple as installing the system TeX Live package, e.g., texlive-base or texlive-core. The same package should also provide the latexmk script. (See below)

Install pygments, a Python syntax highlighter. This is used by the LaTeX package minted to handle our syntax highlighting.

Build the document using

$ make

Note that latexmk will run LuaLaTeX multiple times, since TeX generates cross references in one pass, then links them in a second.

If you can't use latexmk for some reason, you can manually invoke

$ lualatex -halt-on-error -shell-escape concurrency-primer.tex

until it no longer warns, "Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references right."
