CGAL users discussion list

["Kenneth Tham" <>]

Hi Everyone,
                  I am currently trying to use CGAL with Visual C++ 6. I am 
using CGAL 2.4 ( previously I tried 2.2.1)  which I have verified is 
compatible with Visual C++ 6. I have run the installer and linked the include 
directories and libraries. However, I keep getting the error messages in the 
attached file below. I'm not sure what is the problem. Can anyone help? Thank 
you.
Regards,
Kenneth
