Could not complie the TexGen in Ubuntu

[10427788]

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.

" Error": TexGen-3.11.0/Renderer/PrecompiledHeaders.h:36:10: fatal error: vtkOrientationMarkerWidget.h: No such file or directory

Installed VTK version 7.1

Thanks in advance

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

The above installation was done using root access in the Ubuntu :

1. Downloaded source code 3.11.0
2. Unzip the downloaded source code
3. cd TexGen 3.11
4. mkdir bin
5. cd bin
6. cmake ../
7. sudo make (after executing this command in the terminal, the above error is used to popup ): to solve this problem, I even tried to locate the missing header files i.e . vtkOrientationMarkerWidget.h into the ~/.bashrc and then repeated same procedure but still throwing the same error . Kindly let me know to solve this problem . Thanks in advance

Hi, TexGen will not currently build with VTK 7. There are some significant changes needed to the code to do this and we haven't had the resource to be able to sort it out yet. There is a repo with a VTK6.3.0 version here: https://github.com/louisepb/VTK-6.3 as this is no longer available.

[10427788]

Thanks for the update. May I know the version of depency packages to build the Texgen Source for Python 2.7

[10427788]

Hi, Could you please suggest me working version of the Texgen as well as dependency .
VTK 6.3 version was not able to compile by Cmake :

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
  CMake.

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

Hi, I'm not sure about the errors for building VTK - as far as I'm aware there shouldn't be a problem building this. You may need to look at the VTK website for help with this.
My Python 2.7 build has the following dependencies:
cppunit - 1.15.1
OpenCascade - 7.0.0
Python2.7.18
Swig 4.0.2
wxWidgets 3.0.5

Hope that helps, Louise

Hi Mam,
Thanks for the update. I managed to install VT6.3 through the support of VTK developer and also installed wxWidgets 3.2.6.

Now, while compiling TexGen source code, I used to get the following error 👍

/home/pitchaip/TexGen-3.12.0/Python/../OctreeRefinement/include/unistd.h:19:10: fatal error: io.h: No such file or directory
19 | #include <io.h>

Could you please let me know the way to resolve this problem while building TexGen source code . Thanks in advance
