Windows XP

• CGAL Installation
  • Install CMAKE.
  • Install Boost first from: http://www.boostpro.com/download
    • Check "Boost Thread" option, too.
  • Add the following line to CMakeLists.txt: SET(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR "D:/seongjae/Program Files/boost/boost_1_39")
  • Command Prompt: cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 9 2008"
  • Open CGAL.sln and compile it. lib directory will appear.

• CGAL Setting
  • Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories:
    • "D:\seongjae\Program Files\boost\boost_1_39";
    • "D:\seongjae\Program Files\CGAL-3.4\auxiliary\taucs\include";
    • "D:\seongjae\Program Files\CGAL-3.4\auxiliary\gmp\include";
    • "D:\seongjae\Program Files\CGAL-3.4\include"
  • Configuration Properties > Linker > General > Additional Library Directories
    • "D:\seongjae\Program Files\boost\boost_1_39\lib";

Windows Vista

• Python
  • EasyInstall from PEAK
  • Numpy, Scipy
  • Pyro
  • PIL: I got two error messages and my window got frozen. After a while, I got another window asking to restart installation program with administer privilege, which worked.
  • PyOpenGL: Same problem as PIL. You also have to install GLUT. The link of win32 binary files is on the PyOpenGL installation page. I put the unzipped directory into PATH.

• Swig
  1. To compile generated files by Swig w/ Visual C++, I included the following directories:
     • C:\Program Files (x86)\Python25\include
     • C:\Program Files (x86)\Python25\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include
     • D:\Codes\Vincent_Valentine\misc\swig_support
  2. When it needs OpenGL, you should include opengl32.lib and glu32.lib libraries.
  3. When it gives some linking errors related to no-reference blah blah, it might be caused by interpreting .h and .c files as C++ files. You need the following headers and footers on .h files.

     #ifdef __cplusplus
     extern "C" {
     #endif
      
     #ifdef __cplusplus
     }
     #endif
