CGAL users discussion list

Ciao Арсентий Нерушев.

I've successfully built the latest version of CGAL using MinGW. I don't know much about how to do that VS, but I could try!

Cheers.

Sergio.

Subject: Re: [cgal-discuss] compile CGAL

Are you sure you've chosen "Visual Studio 2008" as working compiler? Because this message "Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 8 2005" means that you've chosen the compiler for Visual Studio 2005. I think you've might mix it up.

I am a new user of CGAL. I have not been able to compile CGAL. I followed the following steps :

1 - Open CMake - cmake-gui
2 - For both "Where is the source code" and "Where to build the binaries" Specify the CGAL installation folder (C: / Program Files/CGAL-3.7)
3 - Click Configure and then Choose "Visual Studio 2008
I found this in the compilation :  

Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 8 2005

Check for working C compiler using: Visual Studio 8 2005 -- broken

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:52 (MESSAGE):

The C compiler "cl" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:
