Hello All,
I am a newbie so hope you don't mind if I ask a primary question.
I am using windows XP (professional) , visual studio 9.0 and can't get cgal
installed !!!
I am following the instructions given here:

http://acg.cs.tau.ac.il/cgal-at-tau/installing-cgal-and-related-programs-on-windows

everything seems to be fine and I can configure/generate using cmake . but
when
I try to make the solution (CGAL.sln) visual studio gives me millions of
error,
most of them are like:
-------------------------------------
137>C:\CGAL\CGAL-3.5.1\auxiliary\gmp\include\mpfr.h(280) : error C2061: syntax

---------------------------------

at the end I am left with : Rebuild All: 5 succeeded, 435 failed, 4 skipped

can anyone suggest any other installation guide for windows? or can anyone
tell
me what I am doing wrong above?

Many thanks
