Please have a look at the installation manual
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/3.4/doc_html/installation_manual/Chapter_installation_manual.html#Subsection_2.2

where we write:


2.2   cmake

In order to configure, build and install the CGAL libraries, as well as the 
examples and demos, you need CMake, a cross-platform ``makefile generator''. 
If CMake is not
installed already you can obtain it from http://www.cmake.org/. We recommend 
the usage of CMake release 2.6, and you need at least CMake release 
2.4-patch-7.


Best regards,
