CGAL users discussion list

Dear list

I am using the CGAL lib for quite a while now. Today I wanted to upgrade 
from CGAL 3.4 to 3.6. In our project, the whole CGAL code resides in a 
subversion repository. This means when the CGAL code is checked out on a 
machine every directory contains a .svn directory. Up to version 3.4 
this was not a problem. When I try to build the 3.6 on a Linux (Ubuntu 
10.4) with the command "cmake .", like it is stated in the manual, I get 
the following error message:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:426 (install):
  install PROGRAMS given directory
  "/home/abenzler/temp/cgal/CGAL-3.6.1/source/scripts/.svn" to install.

I tried the 3.7 beta1 as well with similar results:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:415 (install):
  install PROGRAMS given directory
  "/home/abenzler/temp/cgal/CGAL-3.7-beta1/scripts/.svn" to install.

Does anyone know whether this is a common problem and is there a 
workaround for that?

Kind Regards
