NOTICE
Since Version 5.0, CGAL is now header-only by default, meaning that it is no longer mandatory to build (and install) CGAL and its libraries. Usage of CGAL as a header-only library simply amounts to, for example:
cd /path/to/cgal/examples/Triangulation_2
mkdir -p build/debug
cd build/debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCGAL_DIR=/path/to/cgal
make
More information on header-only dependencies, configuration flags, and useful scripts to build programs that are not shipped with CGAL is available in this distribution in the file ./doc_html/index.html ("Getting Started with CGAL"), or on the CGAL website at https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Manual/general_intro.html
BUILDING AND INSTALLING CGAL
Although not recommended, it is still possible to build and install CGAL. More information on building and installing CGAL is available in this distribution in the file ./doc_html/index.html ("Advanced" > "Installation"), or on the CGAL website at https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Manual/installation.html
