I made a PR to fix your specific issue : https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/pull/5336

If you don't want to wait for the next release, you can clone the branch and use it, it is based on CGAL-5.1

Sorry, Sebastien, it was for CGAL version 5.1.1.

I downgraded because for the latest version, 5.2, I got an error message like the following when trying to compile the Polyhedron demo:

[  3%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/demo_framework.dir/Viewer.cpp.o

/Users/drochera/Downloads/CGAL-David/Polyhedron/Viewer.cpp:1133:31: error: 

      too few arguments to function call, expected 2, have 1

    d->textRenderer->draw(this);

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     ^

/usr/local/include/CGAL/Three/TextRenderer.h:142:5: note: 'draw' declared here

    void draw(CGAL::Three::Viewer_interface* viewer, const QVector3D &scaler);

    ^

1 error generated.

make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/demo_framework.dir/Viewer.cpp.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/demo_framework.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

But this might be another different bug... (for the CGAL version 5.1.1 this error does not appear).

Best wishes.
