Hi,

This question is related to an earlier question about enabling parallel meshing.

A summary of CMake variables related to Intel TBB is given here: http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Manual/installation.html#title57

However, I try to follow the instructions as careful as possible, but CMake is not able to find TBB. I digged quite deep into the CMake scripts, and I could not recognize a directory structure similar to what CGAL's FindTBB.cmake seems to expect. For example, there's the following snippet in that script:

# GvdB: $ENV{TBB_ARCH_PLATFORM} is set by the build script tbbvars[.bat|.sh|.csh]
if (NOT $ENV{TBB_ARCH_PLATFORM} STREQUAL "")
    set (_TBB_LIBRARY_DIR
         ${_TBB_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/$ENV{TBB_ARCH_PLATFORM}
         ${_TBB_INSTALL_DIR}/$ENV{TBB_ARCH_PLATFORM}/lib
        )
endif (NOT $ENV{TBB_ARCH_PLATFORM} STREQUAL "")

However, in my installation I do not see a directory with name "lib" at all. Given TBBROOT is the root of the uncompressed source file. Then typing "make" will build into a directory "build", where I see for example a directory "linux_intel64_gcc_cc5.3.0_libc2.19_kernel3.12.61_debug/" inside which I find the libtbb*.so.

I wonder whether the directory structure changed in a new version of TBB or wheter I'm doing something severely wrong.

Best regards

Michael
