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 at <http://www.cgal.org/Manual>.
|
|
|
|
For more information about CGAL, see the <http://www.cgal.org/>.
|
|
|
|
To install CGAL, you should:
|
|
|
|
- download the compressed archive file from the CGAL web site
|
|
http://www.cgal.org
|
|
|
|
- unpack the file
|
|
|
|
- build and install the CGAL libraries by running
|
|
"./install_cgal --prefix=/usr/local" to install CGAL in /usr/local
|
|
(or where ever else is desired)
|
|
The installer will try to locate the libraries used and required
|
|
by CGAL. These libraries are detailed in the CGAL install notes at
|
|
<http://www.cgal.org/Manual/doc_html/installation_manual/contents.html>.
|
|
|
|
NOTE ON INTERACTIVE INSTALLS: the interactive installer, available by
|
|
running "./install_cgal -i" only works for in-place installs of CGAL
|
|
(ones where the libraries live in the CGAL source directory). The
|
|
exception is Mac OS where installs from the interactive installer
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
NOTE ON REPEATED INSTALLS: the installer maintains a cache in
|
|
config/install/ which records which external libraries were found as
|
|
well as the relevant environment variables. The cached values are used
|
|
on subsequent runs of the installer on the same architecture. Delete
|
|
the contents of this directly if the environment has changed (for
|
|
example, boost or GMP was installed or the CPPFLAGS changed) and you
|
|
want the installer to pick up these changes.
