$(CGAL_HOME)/INSTALL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This file describes how to install CGAL on Unix or Unix-like systems such as Linux, Solaris, Irix, and Cygwin on Windows. For installation under Windows using native tools, see INSTALL.win32. The documentation of CGAL is available in various formats (HTML, PostScript, PDF). It is not bundled with the software but can be downloaded separately. For more information about CGAL, see the URL http://www.cgal.org/. To install CGAL, you should: - download the compressed archive file from the CGAL web site www.cgal.org - unpack the file in the place in which you wish to install it - install the CGAL libraries: the impatient can just try to run "./install_cgal -i", but we recommend to first have a look at the Installation notes. These are available in several formats. A PostScript file named installation.ps.gz can be found in the directory doc_ps. The HTML version is in doc_html/installation/main.html and the PDF documentation is in the directory doc_pdf. - [optional] get the CGALWin binary and put it into lib/. (This step is also described in detail in the Installation notes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EOF
