the error can be ignored i think, since only the .dll and .lib files are built and no .exe file is built, we get this error. also run the same using debug mode.

then show the compiler where it can find these .lib files and .dll files

for me its like this.

C:\libraries\CGAL_4_1\build\lib

the lib folder has release and debug folders which include most of the files. if while compiling an application, you encounter an error saying that a certain file is not found, then find the location of the file in the cgal folder, and then point the compiler to it.

good luck.

but in .sln format I have CGAL.sln only .

I open ALL_Build.vcxproj and it reaches the error : 

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

the system can not found the file specified .

Wich one I should open and wich one I should set as start up project ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,

 

Can you show the contents of the folder where you say you are building CGAL into? Is there a all_build file? If yes, then you need to open tht in visual studio and compile it in debug mode and release mode.

Just be sure to use the same compiler for visual studio i mean for e.g.  VC10 throughout when configuring cgal, and also building. And also for all its external libraries.

 

Regards

Mihir.

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.

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 

Sara

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.
