CGAL users discussion list

[Edoardo Milotti <>]

I use CMake 2.8.0, Boost 1.42.0 (installed with MacPorts on MacOS X 10.6.2), 
and I just installed CGAL 3.6. It seems that BOOST_VERSION is not properly 
set by CMake, although CMake detects the correct Boost version. This is part 
of the CMake output: 

-- Boost version: 1.42.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
--   thread
-- Boost include:     /opt/local/include
-- Boost libraries:   
optimized;/opt/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt.dylib;debug;/opt/local/lib/libboost_thread-mt-d.dylib
-- Boost definitions: 
-- USING BOOST_VERSION = '1.42.0'

The compile phase went smoothly and then I compiled the examples with "make 
examples". Here the procedure halted because it could not find 
boost/property_map.hpp. However the header files contain the preprocessor 
statements 

#if BOOST_VERSION >= 104000
#include <boost/property_map/property_map.hpp>
#else
#include <boost/property_map.hpp>
#endif

and <boost/property_map/property_map.hpp> does exist in my installation. So I 
commented out part of the preprocessor code 

//#if BOOST_VERSION >= 104000
#include <boost/property_map/property_map.hpp>
//#else
//#include <boost/property_map.hpp>
//#endif

wherever needed, and this fixed the problem. 

Best wishes,
