CGAL users discussion list

["Oliver Arend" <>]

I downloaded the CGAL-4.10 tarball, untarred it and could successfully
compile CGAL without any modifications to the CMakeLists.txt. I'm using
Linux Mint 18.

Similarly, some examples like the Convex_hull_2 compile just fine.

The Poisson_surface_reconstruction_3 example does not compile (cmake is
successful), the underlying error seems to be in

CMakeFiles/poisson_reconstruction.dir/poisson_reconstruction.cpp.o: In
function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0':
/usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:221: undefined reference to
`boost::system::generic_category()'

I saw several posts related to this or a similar error such as
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9723793/undefined-reference-to-boostsyst
emsystem-category-when-compiling
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18200300/undefined-reference-to-boostsys

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21782275/undefined-reference-to-boostsys
temgeneric-category
but looking at the error messages I now seem to be at the same point as
kevnull was on Oct 4, 2014:
http://cgal-discuss.949826.n4.nabble.com/Surface-reconstruction-points-3-com
pilation-error-td4659915.html
but without a posted solution.

I would like to know how I need to modify the
/examples/Poisson_surface_reconstruction_3/CMakeLists.txt or any other file
that requires modification to resolve the error.

Thanks in advance
Oliver
