\par }{\f0 This file describes how to install CGAL on MS Windows for VC++ 6 and 7
\par For installation on Unix and on Cygwin, please see INSTALL.
\par 
\par The documentation of CGAL is available in various formats (HTML, PostScript,
\par PDF). It is not bundled with the software but can be downloaded separately.
\par 
\par For more information about CGAL, see the URL http://www.cgal.org/.
\par 
\par To install CGAL, you should:
\par   - download the compressed archive file from the CGAL web site www.cgal.org
\par   - Unpack and run setup.exe
\par   - The setup will go through some steps, at the end you will have CGAL-2.4 
\par     installed:
\par \tab 1) The License Agreement
\par \tab 2) The Destination Folder (we call it CGALROOT)
\par \tab 3) Add the CGALROOT environment variable
\par \tab 4) Install the CGAL files
\par \tab 5) Reboot the System if you are running on Win95/98/Millenium
\par 
\par To uninstall CGAL you should go to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programms, 
\par Uninstall CGAL-2.4 or you go to Start->Programms->CGAL-2.4->Uninstall.
\par 
\par }{\b\f0 NOTE
\par }{\f0 We no longer provide a batch file for Windows platform to create the CGAL library,
\par but only the install_cgal script that runs under}{\f0  }{\f0 cygwin, and the Project files for VC6/7
\par If you are a Borland compiler user, please install CGAL using cygwin.
\par }{\f0 
\par }{\b\f0 GMP
\par }{\f0 Some examples and demos need gmp. In order to use it you have to copy gmp.dll from
\par CGALROOT/auxiliary/wingmp/gmp-4.0.1/gmp.dll to your path.
\par      
\par }{\b\f0 Building the library
\par }{\f0 The CGAL.lib is located in CGALROOT/lib/msvc6/CGAL.lib. It is buit using
\par the MLd compiler option. If you want to rebuild the CGAL.lib you should go
\par into the CGALROOT/src directory and open cgallib.dsp/cgallib.vcproj for 
\par Msvc6/Msvc7. Then you build the opened project. The CGAL.lib from the lib 
\par directory will be overwritten.
\par 
\par }{\b\f0 Building the examples
\par }{\f0 In CGALROOT/examples there are directories for every example. In each 
\par directory you will find two more directories called Vc6 and Vc7. In this
\par directories are the projects for the example files. To build an example 
\par you should open one of those projects and build it.
\par You have to specify the right working directory if you want to run the examples 
\par within the IDE. For the porjects that are shiped with CGAL, the Working Directory
\par should be \ldblquote \~../\~\rdblquote .
\par 
\par }{\b\f0 Building the demos
\par }{\f0 In CGALROOT/demo there are directories for every CGAL demo. Each demo 
\par directory contain two other directories called Vc6 and Vc7 containing the
\par projects for the demo files. To build a demo you should open one of those
\par projects and build it.
\par The demos from Qt_widget directory need Qt installed. The projects contain the 
\par libraries from the non-commercial version of Qt-2.3. You should modify that 
\par depending on your version of Qt. You can modify that in Project/Settings/Link.
\par 
\par 
\par }{\b\f0 Running the examples and demos.
\par }{\f0 The corresponding executable(s) then can be run as usual, from the
\par command prompt, or via Explorer.
