Laurent,

This workaround did solve my problem. 

FYI, I first had to fix a typo (doubled "prefix=") and change the backslashes 
to forward slashes. The result was 

CPPFLAGS="-Ih:/downloaded/BOOST/boost_1_34_0" ./install_cgal 
--prefix=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/CGAL

Thanks,

Ed Segall

I fully agree with your explaination: install_cgal seems buggy. That bug have 
been reported last week by a MacOS user too.

Here is the suggestion I made for him (adapted to your case), you can use 
another feature of install_cgal to workaround that bug, by typing (all in the
line):

CPPFLAGS="-Ih:
\downloaded\BOOST\boost_1_34_0" ./install_cgal 
--prefix=prefix=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/CGAL

Best regards.
