Hello,

1- if you want to use Sleep function and "windows.h", you have to install platform SDK. read this: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1995837&SiteID=1

 

2- I used CGAL 3.2.1 with visual stud 2005 with no problem. I recommend you install from scratch (delete cgal directory completely) and then rebuild "src\CGAL", "src\CORE" and "src\CGALQT" with visual studio 2005. What I understand you built librarieswith 2003 and want to use them in 2005.

 

3-step by step compile the examples (like polygon taht you did) and see if there is any error.

Subject: [cgal-discuss] How to Configure Visual Studio 2005 for CGAL ? ? ?

Hello friends,

I am new in Visual Studio Programming. In my project, I am intended to use CGAL 3.2.1 in Visual Studio 2005. But I am having building error with it. Though I have tried with Visual Studio.net 2003 where it works fine. But still it gives error. I might be missing something to configure but really I am filling helpless. Well, it would be better if I can get the CGAL configured with Visual Studio 2005.

May be anyone can give me hint, how to proceed.. This is how I proceeded...

First I tried with Visual Studio 2005 (but din't work). I configured all stuff in my PC according to........
http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~ophirset/robotics/ex2/Windows.html

1. Build successful of ($CGALDIR)\src\CGAL
2. Build successful of ($CGALDIR)\src\Core [So now I have ($CGALDIR)\lib\CGAL and ($CGALDIR)\lib\core++ built with VS-2005]
3. Building not successful of ($CGALDIR)\example\polygon\example.vcproj
4. Every time I get such linking error, even with other examples.

Then, I tried with Visual Studio.net 2003 (worked but faced some other problem). In this procedure I used original version of source code, not the modified after building with VisualStudio 2005.

1. Build successful of ($CGALDIR)\src\CGAL
2. Build successful of ($CGALDIR)\src\Core [So now I have ($CGALDIR)\lib\CGAL and ($CGALDIR)\lib\core++ built with VS-2003 which is default I think]
3. Opened the same project. ($CGALDIR)\example\polygon\example.vcproj.
4. Cleaned the existing solution.
5. Build successful

6. Then I just added header #include <windows.h>  and one statement in main(), that's  Sleep(2000);
7. Build failed
8. I can not understand what the problem is...

It would be really great if anyone help me to get Visual Studio 2005 working with CGAL. Thanks in advance for any kind of hint or details.
