I recently installed CGAL on my windows system and try to make it work.

Compiled correctly and demo runs correctly.

However, since I'm using a CMakeList to handle everything, I added the lines:

find_package(CGAL)

include( ${CGAL_USE_FILE} )

in my cmakelist.txt file.

But it always report the binary file (.lib file under my CGAL_DIR/build/lib) cannot be opened.

If I set the libraries dir in the Visual Studio Project Properties, everything works fine.

Just the cmakelist cannot work correctly.

After some research, it seems that the "CGAL_LIBRARIES" was not set correctly by the script as I try to get the variable through

message ("${CGAL_LIBRARIES")

in my cmakelist.txt file.

and If I set it manually (though dirty, but not sure how to do), the VS reports something like "target_link_libraries xx is dropping items".

I'm using windows 10 and CGAL 4.11.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

MA Zhao
