More to come on compiling from source...
The following programs are needed to build TexGen:
The following libraries are needed to link to TexGen:
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.
Unix
Get TexGen from Subversion repository
Install Subversion
Download Subversion and unpack
./configure --with-ssl [-prefix=$HOME] make make install
Checkout
svn co https://texgen.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/texgen/TexGen/trunk/ TexGen
Compile source
Install CMake
Download CMake and unpack Open shell in extracted folder and type:
./configure [-prefix=$HOME] make make install
Compile TexGen core
Open shell in TexGen and type:
mkdir bin cd bin ccmake ../
Press 'c', when a warning pops up press 'e' to close it. You will now need to specify which components of TexGen to build and where their dependencies can be found. Use the up and down arrows to move the caret and press enter to modify options. In this way switch off BUILD_GUI, BUILD_PYTHON_INTERFACE and BUILD_RENDERER. If you want to install to your home directory also change the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to $HOME.
Now press 'c' again to update the changes.
Hopefully now that all the additional modules have been switched off no errors will be shown. Press 'g' to generate the makefiles and exit. Now type:
make make install
Compiling optional modules
Python interface
Download Python and unpack Open shell in extracted folder and type:
./configure [-prefix=$HOME] make make install
Download SWIG and unpack Open shell in extracted folder and type:
./configure [-prefix=$HOME] make make install
