This file describes how to install CGAL on MS Windows for VC++ 6 and 7
For installation on Unix and on Cygwin, please see INSTALL.

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 and run setup.exe
  - The setup will go through some steps, at the end you will have CGAL-2.4 
    installed:
	1) The License Agreement
	2) The Destination Folder (we call it CGALROOT)
	3) Add the CGALROOT environment variable
	4) Install the CGAL files
	5) Reboot the System if you are running on Win95/98/Millenium

To uninstall CGAL you should go to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programms, 
Uninstall CGAL-2.4 or you go to Start->Programms->CGAL-2.4->Uninstall.

NOTE
We no longer provide a batch file for Windows platform to create the CGAL library,
but only the install_cgal script that runs under cygwin, and the Project files for VC6/7
If you are a Borland compiler user, please install CGAL using cygwin.

GMP
Some examples and demos need gmp. In order to use it you have to copy gmp.dll from
CGALROOT/auxiliary/wingmp/gmp-4.0.1/gmp.dll to your path.
     
Building the library
The CGAL.lib is located in CGALROOT/lib/msvc6/CGAL.lib. It is buit using
the MLd compiler option. If you want to rebuild the CGAL.lib you should go
into the CGALROOT/src directory and open cgallib.dsp/cgallib.vcproj for 
Msvc6/Msvc7. Then you build the opened project. The CGAL.lib from the lib 
directory will be overwritten.

Building the examples
In CGALROOT/examples there are directories for every example. In each 
directory you will find two more directories called Vc6 and Vc7. In this
directories are the projects for the example files. To build an example 
you should open one of those projects and build it.
You have to specify the right working directory if you want to run the examples 
within the IDE. For the porjects that are shiped with CGAL, the Working Directory
should be “ ../ ”.

Building the demos
In CGALROOT/demo there are directories for every CGAL demo. Each demo 
directory contain two other directories called Vc6 and Vc7 containing the
projects for the demo files. To build a demo you should open one of those
projects and build it.
The demos from Qt_widget directory need Qt installed. The projects contain the 
libraries from the non-commercial version of Qt-2.3. You should modify that 
depending on your version of Qt. You can modify that in Project/Settings/Link.

Running the examples and demos.
The corresponding executable(s) then can be run as usual, from the
command prompt, or via Explorer.
