HI Yongquan,
I had similar issues. I think you need point your linker's "Additional library directories" to the dir where you have your gmp library. This property should be under
"Configuration Properties" -> Linker-> General. For example if CGAL is installed under "Program Files" , you should add C:/Program Files/CGAL 3.7/auxillary/gmp/lib.
This fixed the issue for me.

Subject: Re: [cgal-discuss] Visual studio link error

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I am pretty sure that I was using the 3.7 version. If the auto-linking is disabled, why the compiler would ask for that file? 

Maybe it is the way that I used to compile the CGAL is not right. 

I am trying to re-compile the CGAL and I do not remember the file existed in that folder. 

Would you please tell me where can I find the information about how to compile the CGAL for Visual Studio 2008?

Thank you very much!

Best,

Yongquan

Are you sure you that you are compiling using the header files of CGAL-3.7?
Since CGAL-3.7, the auto-linking of gmp and mpfr is disabled by default.

What do you have in CGAL-3.7\auxiliary\gmp\lib\ ?
