CGAL users discussion list

[skauf <>]

Hi all,

I'd like to install CGAL in such a way that would allow me to compile
programs that use it with MinGW on Windows.

By default, the cmake configuration targets Visual Studio. I don't see
instructions in the installation menu or in the lists on how to change this.

Anyone know how to get this to work?

Also, even when VS is the target compiler, cmake complains about not finding
boost threads. I did set a BOOST_ROOT env var and cmake seems to be aware of
its value, but still this happens:

CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindBoost.cmake:917 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.51.0

  Boost include path: C:/Temp/boost_1_51_0

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_thread

  No Boost libraries were found.  You may need to set Boost_LIBRARYDIR to
the
  directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
  Boost.

I even tried to set Boost_LIBRARYDIR (say to C:/Temp/boost_1_51_0/libs) but
that didn't help.

Cheers,
S
