Hi,

I've successfully installed CGAL 3.x on a Windows XP 32bit box with Visual Studio 2008 and managed to get a convex hull routine working nicely in Autodesk Softimage, but since upgrading to a Windows 7 64bit environment with Visual Studio 2010 Express (with Windows 7.1 SDK for 64bit support) I've been having a few problems.

I've installed CGAL 4.1 and Boost 1.51. CGAL looks as though it is built properly. But, when I compile the Convex_hull_2 examples I get a successful log but an error from the .exe:

"The program can't start because CGAL-vc100-mt-4.1.dll is missing from your computer."

As far as I can tell the build log is fine (see below).

I'm sure I'm doing something completely stupid but I can't figure out why this is happening. The relevant .dll seems to be in the CGAL folder. I'm not a full-time C++ programmer (I'm a 3D CG Artist) so I'm at a loss when it comes to working out what the problem could be. I assumed if there were no link errors and I had a successful compile then there shouldn't be a problem....

If anyone has any ideas they would be gratefully received.
