CGAL users discussion list

Hello Samay,

I use Eclipse (Galileo) on an 64 bit machine running Ubuntu 9.04 with 
CGAL 3.4.  I don't use QT, so I won't be able to help you there.  First, 
go through the installation process in the manual 
(http://www.cgal.org/Manual/3.4/doc_html/installation_manual/Chapter_installation_manual.html).  
You DO have to perform the commands detailed there with the cmake-gui 
(section 4.1), but that doesn't mean that your projects have to use CMake.

Here's my settings:

1.  Turn the indexer off or on very low settings (Indexer is found under 
Project properties, C/C++ General, Indexer.  You can choose project 
specific settings so that all of the projects in your workspace can have 
different settings).  Eclipse will try to index all of CGAL's include 
files and this results in an out of memory error, and quickly, Eclipse 
crashes.  Before you start adding files to a project is a good time to 
adjust these indexer settings.

2. Under Project "Properties," then C/C++ Build, then Settings:
   a. Under C++ Compiler, Directories: /usr/local/cgal (or wherever you 
installed cgal, this is the default)
   b. Under C++ Compiler, Miscellaneous:    -frounding-math     (More 
on why we need this can be found in multiple listserv messages)
   c. Under C++ Linker, libraries, then Libraries (-l):     CGAL
   d. Under C++ Linker, libraries, then Library search path (-L):    
/usr/local/lib   (you should find libCGAL.so there)

Best,
Amy
