CGAL users discussion list

[Daniel Duque <>]

Tony,

I have been using a well known piece of software called OpenFOAM for some time now. There are only binaries for some linux distributions. For others, including openSUSE and other major ones, you have to compile it yourself. It seems you may compile it on a mac, and even on windows.

My point is, the fact that you have to compile some piece of open software for your particular architecture is extremely common. And, it should be seen as a lucky fact -- it's certainly not an option for commercial software! Much as I'd like to install, say, GarageBand on my PC, I can't compile it, and I know it won't be ported.

Best,

Daniel

I am afraid that there is a mistake in your logic.
No, the fact that the person who is preparing the CGAL package for macport has problems with Qt5 does not imply that you cannot use CGAL on your Mac.

If all CGAL users and developers working on a mac can do it, and if even I can, then you can...
