Method to build and install Texgen 3.1.10 on Ubuntu 22.04LTS #62
Description
Solving VTK6.3 issue with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
- We need to change modify lined in the following file CMake/vtkCompilerExtras.cmake
- Also we need to modify same line even in the CMake/GenerateExportHeader.cmake
- Further to resolve the c++11 standard error, we need modify the files from the build directory (i.e., CMakeCache.txt)
From this file, we need add the following lines against of this line : CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-std=c++98
After making all the necessary corrections, execute the following command to successfully build the VTK6.3 source code:
make -j$(nproc)
