For info:
on my outdated CentOS 7.7 box at work, which has:
* cmake2.8.12, doxygen-1.8.5, TexLive 2013
the CMake build falls at the first hurdle because of the
minimum_cmake_required
With a private version of cmake-3.18.2, the html docs build, but the pdf
fails:
sh: epstopdf: command not found
error: Problems running epstopdf. Check your TeX installation!
I don't this this is a problem with the new FLTK cmake / doxygen config
as such,
but it might be worth updating the README files to indicate minimum
versions.
Thanks for trying anyway. The minimum CMake version is still work in
progress (there's much new stuff we *may* likely need or want to have)
but I'll make sure it's documented before we release 1.4.0. I'd like to
keep it as low as possible, but I still need to find out what we really
need.
If you have a running very old doxygen version it *might* work with it,
and in your case I assume that you would need to install some more
(La)TeX packages, but this is something I can only guess. I would expect
a list of LaTeX packages required to build PDF docs with Doxygen in the
Doxygen docs but I didn't find any requirements in the doxygen docs,
hence it's always a wild guess what to install to make it work. HTML
seems to work always, but PDF is tricky...
PS. Hardly anyone uses LaTeX so it's not even worth reporting this
to the IT team until after we've been migrated to CentOS 8 :-(
I agree, it's not worth it for such old systems.
PPS. I'll test the MacOSX configuration this evening...
