The errors state that you are missing some libraries on which Texel depends:

Code: Select all

-- Could NOT find Armadillo (missing: ARMADILLO_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Could NOT find GSL (missing: GSL_INCLUDE_DIR GSL_LIBRARY GSL_CBLAS_LIBRARY) (found version "")
-- Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)
Not building bookgui
-- Could NOT find Torch (missing: Torch_DIR)

So you have to install Armadillo, GSL, PkgConfig and Torch as dependencies of Texel to make it compile. I have no idea what these libraries do, where you would get them, or what version you need for Texel 1.10. This should be in the instructions somewhere, or you'll have to trial-and-error it.

Why do you try to compile your own exes (and it seems usually fail) ? Do the ones supplied by the authors not work for you?

Those messages are actually warnings and not errors. Some of them come from using an old version of gtest. I will upgrade gtest for the next release, which will fix those warnings.

The "Not building ..." messages mean that not all programs in the texel distribution can be built, but the texel chess engine can be built, so unless you want to use those extra programs, these messages can safely be ignored.
