Compiling from Source

More to come on compiling from source...

The following programs are needed to build TexGen:

• CMake
• SWIG

The following libraries are needed to link to TexGen:

• VTK
• wxWidgets
• OpenCascade
• Python

However it is possible to build modules individually without compiling modules you do not need. Refer to the TexGen API for a list of modules and their dependencies.

The latest source release can be downloaded here. Download the latest file release named texgen-3.x.x.tar.gz.

Alternatively the very latest development source can be downloaded using the Subversion version control system. This code may be unstable, it is not recommended unless there is a good reason to have the very latest version. The Subversion server is hosted on SourceForge, instructions on downloading from it are available here.
