error when compiling minimal TexGen on Mac

[Todochris]

Hello, I tried compiling TexGen but I got several errors after using the make command in my terminal.
I am on MacOS 14.4 with an ARM chip.

All the errors print the same text but at multiple lines in TexGen, here is one example :

TexGen/Core/OctreeVoxelMesh.cpp:73:18: error: a space is required between consecutive right angle brackets (use '> >')
vector<vector<int>> COctreeVoxelMesh::FaceX_min;
                 ^~
                 > >

Edit : After some pocking online, I found out that by adding the following line in the file TexGen/CMakeLists.txt, the cpp codes standard used to compile the code are change from C++98 to C++11. In The case of TexGen, the C++11 standard should be followed from what I see.

SET(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

Hi @Todochris,
Thanks for flagging this. I'll try the CMakeLists fix. I don't have a Mac so can't test the build there but the error with spaces between brackets is one that normally gets flagged when I try a Linux build. I've had problems with my Linux VM for a while so haven't been able to test properly. If the CMakeLists can solve the issue that will be great.
Thanks, Louise

Hi, while trying to compile Texgen using CMake, I encountered a VTK dependency error. To resolve this issue, I tried incorporating the find_package command in the CMake list, but it is still showing the same dependency error. This installation was initiated on Ubuntu with root access. For this installation, I was using Texgen3.1.0 version because I am trying to integrate Texgen with Python2.7inhouse for my research. Could you please provide me the step by step clear explanation for building the source code on Ubuntu . Although there were given some instruction on installation of Texgen on Wikipage but it was showing some confusion especially for the part of activating the dependency software interface. Thanks in advance

Dear All, The following error I used to get while compiling Texge3.1.0 using Make command
