Hi Mihir , 

My problem is I dont know what I should do after using CMake for configure and generate CGAL library . I usually open CGAL.sln file created by cmake certainly in relase mode . Ihave checked it in CMake gui . 

 CMAKE_build_type                                         Release

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX    C:/Program Files/CGAL

then when I open CGAL.sln I set the release mode in visuall studio. 

and then High light Install as start up project and then press the start debugging (F5)

after some processing I see the output  :

Build succeeded.

6>

6>Time Elapsed 00:00:00.10

7>------ Skipped Build: Project: INSTALL, Configuration: Release x64 ------

7>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration 

========== Build: 6 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

and this finish with a dialog box that say  : 

unable to start program   C\CGAL4-0\build\*64\Release \install

the system can not found the file specified .

I have tried it by setting CGAL as start up but it reaches the error about not founding the CGAL-vc100-mt-gd-4.0.lib .

I am using CGAL -manual .

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,

the very meaning, that you are getting such a message means tht cgal is not completely installed on your machine. go through the documentation, very carefully. i my self had to install it thrice before, i could use it. this by no means implies the cgal sucks. its might just be a little complicated to install.

can you please list in detail what all you are doing to install cgal?

regards
mihir.

then I set others as start up . they reaches to the same error .  It has not any difference in debug or release mode I have tried a lot and the result error is the same :

I have tried to run examples of CGAL too. after I configure AABB-tree truly configure and generate with CMake 2.8.9 . and open the .sln file it reaches to the same error in debug or release mode .

Thanks

That error cannot be displayed when you are compiling the CGAL library itself.

After the CMake configuration of the CGAL libraries, a solution named
"CGAL.sln". Build that solution in Relase mode *and* in Debug mode. That will
solve your problem.
