CGAL users discussion list

[Efraim Fogel <>]

Is it suppose to be a good one?

First, the 2 files that are installed under 'bin' are installed without 
executable permissions.

Secondly, consider the OUT-OF-SOURCE BUILDS section of the INSTALL file:

 mkdir $CGAL_BIN
 cd $CGAL_BIN
 cmake [options] $CGAL_SRC
 make
 make install                       (if desired)
 make demo                          (if desired)
 make examples                      (if desired)

The name $CGAL_BIN is a bit misleading. How about $CGAL_BUILD (or 
$CGAL_TRG).

Finally, I cannot figure out how to compile an application that uses 
CGAL with the help of 'cgal_create_cmake_script'. Am I suppose to set 
environment variables that indicate where CGAL libraries, headers, and 
cmake related stuff are installed at? If I don't specify anything (and I 
wouldn't know what to specify just from reading the INSTALL file), run 
the script above, and then 'cmake .', I get:

-- This program requires the CGAL library, and will not be compiled 
(even though CGAL is installed at the default directory - 
/usr/local/{lib,include,bin}/...

What gives?
