hello,
Im trying to run cgal library with my visual studio 2010
i have followed several instructions and finally did whats described here:
http://jdt.googlecode.com/svn-history/r64/trunk/jdt/src/CGAL/docs/CGAL_Guidelines.docx
as its the most informative i found.
i installed cgal 4.1, zlib, qt, boost..whatever needed
i maanged to to all five steps good,
but in step 7, where im requested to write a simple code, i do:
-------------------
#include <CGAL/Min_sphere_of_spheres_d.h>
#include <CGAL/Min_sphere_of_spheres_d_traits_3.h>
#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
    cout << "Hello World" << endl;
    return 0;
}
----------------
however, when i build it according to steps6, when i push the build button
in VS, i get:
----------------

I noticed that cgal/lib was created together with the cgal.sln file but the
lib folder is empty.
Its very important for me that it'll work eventually..i'll be VERY thankful
for any of you willing to sort it out with me

Thanks!
