Hi all,
Many thanks for your work.
First question: I am trying to install your soft on my UBUNTU. Many problems here: I can not install OpenCascade, the ccmake can not find VTK, etc. Do someone has already done it? Can someone help me? Do you need any information?
Second question: I have tried the soft on Windows, but I have not find the solution for export the middle line of the yarns in a text file. Is it possible?
A billion of thanks,
Martin.
install on ubuntu 8.04

There are some docs on building TexGen for linux on the website: http://texgen.sourceforge.net/
You don't need to install OpenCASCADE to get TexGen running, you only need that if you want to export to IGES or STEP files. If you want to do that I'm afraid you're on your own because I haven't done it myself.

Yes sure, again look at the website. You can use the python interface to do this.

Yeah, but when I am trying to turn ON the GUI, I get this:
I have tried several directories for VTK_DIR, but I always get this, although VTK-5.0 is installed on my computer.
/usr/lib does not work
/usr/lib/vtk-5.0 does not work
/usr/share/cmake-2.4/Modules does not work because there is no UseVTK.cmake but there is UseVTK40.cmake, so I made a link from UseVTK.cmake to UseVTK40.cmake and other VTK40 files, and I get:
Moreover, even after having turned BUILD_PYTHON_INTERFACE to ON and perform a make make install, I got this from Python:
Anyway, thanks a billion: what you do is great!
By the way, nice name Martin...

Martin.
I must add though, I haven't tested a GUI version for a long time.
It appears to be broken on my machine.
The renderer works when scripted, which is all I need.
I would still try compiling it if I where you, your ubuntu machine is more like Martin's, so the odds are better (mine is debian testing).
In general my experience is that Martin follows releases of used libraries quite closely, so moving back to vtk4 is less likely to work than moving to vtk cvs... same with wxwidgets.
