The instructions in -this file are for the most common use cases. For further information, or in -case of problems, please see the detailed installation instructions, which -can be found in the CGAL documentation. - -The CGAL documentation is available in various formats (HTML, PDF). It is not -bundled with the software but can be downloaded separately at -. - -For more information about CGAL, see the . - - -PREREQUISITES -============= - -To install CGAL, you need several third-party libraries. The mandatory -prerequisites are: - -- CMake (>= 2.4.5), http://www.cmake.org/ -- Boost (>= 1.33.1), http://www.boost.org/ - If you build boost yourself, or if you use a fine-grained package management - system, make sure you have at least Boost.Threads, Boost.Graph and - Boost.ProgramOptions (strictly speaking, the last two Boost components are - not mandatory, but recommended, as they are used by many demos). -- GMP (>= 4.1.4), http://gmplib.org/ -- MPFR (>= 2.2.1), http://www.mpfr.org/ - -The following prerequisites are recommended, as they are required for the -visualization functionality of CGAL: - -- Qt 3.x (>= 3.3), http://trolltech.com/products/ -- Qt 4.x (>= 4.2), http://trolltech.com/products/ - -If you are not interested in visualization, you can ignore Qt 3.x and Qt 4.x. -The following prerequisites are optional. They are required or optional for -some demos or examples: - -- TAUCS, http://www.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/taucs/ -- BLAS, LAPACK, ATLAS -- LEDA (< 6.0), http://www.algorithmic-solutions.com/leda/ -- Geomview, http://www.geomview.org/ -- libQGlViewer, http://www.libqglviewer.com/ -- VTK, http://www.vtk.org/ - - -CONFIGURATION -============= - -To configure CGAL, type - - cmake . - -in the directory that contains this INSTALL file. You can add several options -to this command. The most important ones are - - -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= installation directory [/usr/local] - -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE= build type [Debug] - -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS= shared or static libraries [TRUE] - -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER= C compiler [gcc] - -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER= C++ compiler [g++] - -In case you want to add additional compiler and linker flags, you can use - - -DCGAL_CXX_FLAGS additional compiler flags - -DCGAL_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS add. linker flags (static libraries) - -DCGAL_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS add. linker flags (shared libraries) - -DCGAL_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS add. linker flags (executables) - -Variants with the additional suffix "_DEBUG" and "_RELEASE" allow to set -separate values for debug and release builds. In case you do not want to add -additional flags, but to override the default flags, replace "CGAL" by -"CMAKE" in the variable names above. - -Note that CMake maintains a cache name "CMakeCache.txt". If you change options -(or your environment changes), it is best to remove that file to avoid -problems. - - -BUILDING -======== - -To build the CGAL libraries, type - - make - -If you want, you can install the CGAL header and libraries. To do so, type - - make install - -You can build all demos or examples by typing - - make demo or - make examples - -If you are interested in the demos or examples of just a particular module, -you can build them in the following way: - - make -C demo/Alpha_shapes_2 (or: cd demo/Alpha_shapes_2; make) - make -C examples/Alpha_shapes_2 (or: cd examples/Alpha_shapes_2; make) - -A list of all available make targets can be obtained by - - make help - - -OUT-OF-SOURCE BUILDS -==================== - -The above instructions build the CGAL library in the same directory tree as -the CGAL sources. Sometimes it is advisable to place all the generated files -somewhere else. For example, if you want to build the library in several -configurations (debug and release, different compilers, and so on). Using -different build directories keeps all the generated files separated for each -configuration. - -In the following, $CGAL_SRC denotes the directory with the CGAL sources; -$CGAL_BIN is an arbitrary directory where the generated files will be -placed. You can perform an out-of-source build as follows: - - mkdir $CGAL_BIN - cd $CGAL_BIN - cmake [options] $CGAL_SRC - make - make install (if desired) - make demo (if desired) - make examples (if desired) - -Basically, the only difference is the last parameter of the "cmake" command: -$CGAL_SRC instead of "." . diff --git a/Installation/README b/Installation/README index 4a376284fd8..954e0b4610c 100644 --- a/Installation/README +++ b/Installation/README @@ -23,7 +23,6 @@ This distribution of CGAL includes: (experimental) are provided for all programs. include/CGAL - the include files for the CGAL library (and other small external libraries as well, see the LICENSE file) - install_cgal - the script with which you can install CGAL INSTALL - file containing information about the installation process on Unix-like platforms INSTALL.MacOSX - file containine information about the installation
