Hi,

I personnaly proceed as follows:

Installation: same as you

Compile in Xcode:

1. Go to example directory (e.g. examples/Voronoi_diagram_2/)
2. Generate Xcode project using cmake: $cmake -GXcode .
3. Open Xcode project
4. Compile using Xcode (note: I change compiler from gcc-4.0 to gcc-4.2 
in Xcode)

NB: you could also have a look at this script 
'scripts/cgal_create_cmake_script' which could create a CMakeLists.txt 
for your own project if you don't want to start from an existing example 
folder.

Best,
Stéphane.
