$CGAL/INSTALL.MacOSX
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This file describes how to install CGAL on the MacOSX operating
|
|
system. CGAL has been tested on Panther and Tiger. The instructions
|
|
below refer to both Panther and Tiger unless otherwise stated explicitly.
|
|
|
|
For installation on Unix and on Cygwin, please see INSTALL.
|
|
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/.

|
Installation
|
|
- 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 available from the
|
|
CGAL web site. http://www.cgal.org/Manual/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boost
|
|
CGAL needs boost in order to work. To install boost go to
|
|
www.boost.org and download the source tarball and the tarball for
|
|
bjam. To install boost follow the instructions in www.boost.org (it is
|
|
recommended to use the default install path).
|
|
|
|
|
|
GMP
|
|
Some examples and demos need GMP. In order to use it you have to
|
|
install it. You can either download the sources from www.swox.com/gmp
|
|
and follow the installation instructions in there or use fink to do
|
|
that (try: fink install gmp; you need to install both the gmp and
|
|
gmp-shlibs packages).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building the Demos
|
|
|
|
The demos come in CGALROOT/demo directory. The demos need Qt installed.
|
|
You can download Qt for MacOSX from www.trolltech.com. Tiger needs Qt
|
|
version 3.3.5 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running the Demos
|
|
|
|
In order to run the examples you need to apply the cgal_make_macosx_app
|
|
script which creates the appropriate directory structure so that a CGAL
|
|
Qt demo can be run on MacOSX. The script resides in
|
|
$(CGALROOT)/scripts and should be applied to the executable created by
|
|
the demo makefile:
|
|
prompt:> $(CGALROOT)/scripts/cgal_make_macosx_app <demo-executable>
|
|
The script creates a directory <demo-executable>.app/ which is the
|
|
root directory of the directory structure needed by MacOSX.
|
|
To run the demo use the "open" command from the prompt:
|
|
prompt:> open <demo-executable>.app
|
|
|
