Thank you for this info.  I'll probably have more questions (i.e., If, by "...modify also the source directory," you're referring to the large upper pane, where do I modify the source directory in that?).

 

(As opposed to the little field at the top of the window)?  I know only of the "Where is the source code:" field at the top of the window.  Is that the same source that you're talking about?)

 

Thanks again.

In that pane you can modify also the source directory. Using that, you can:
  - build CGAL libraries, without configuring the demos and examples, using the
CGAL root directory as source directory,
  - then configure and build the examples and demos one by one, by using their
directory as source directory, once the CGAL libraries are configured and
build.

If you have zdll.lib, I think that that is sufficient. That one is probably the
dynamic library: if uses at link time, at runtime the program will need to find
zlib1.dll

If you compile zlib yourself, you can compile a static version of zlib.lib,
which does not require any dll at runtime. But I think you can use the dynamic
version that you already have.
