README.Debian

README.Debian
-------------

The homepage of CGAL (http://www.cgal.org/) offers more information about CGAL.
In particular, a mailing list and the documentation for the library (in PDF and
HTML) are available. The authors ask you to give some feedback about your usage
of CGAL in a short questionnaire (in the download section).


Documentation
-------------

Note that the CGAL documentation cannot be packaged for Debian due to unclear
license conditions. In fact, the upstream tarball of CGAL contains the
installation instructions as PDF. Therefore, this document had to be removed
from the Debian tarball. The complete documentation in PDF and HTML is
available at http://www.cgal.org/.


CGAL_MAKEFILE
-------------

The CGAL documentation asks you to set the environment variable CGAL_MAKEFILE
to the makefile template that was generated during the configuration. This
makefile template is located at /usr/share/cgal/makefile. The examples and
demos as well as the script cgal_create_makefile have been modified to use
/usr/share/cgal/makefile as default. Therefore, it is *not* necessary to set
CGAL_MAKEFILE (but it does not hurt). If you want to modify the template, then
you should point CGAL_MAKEFILE to the modified copy of the template.
