So i have the following which should create a Delaunay triangle type for CGAL:
std::vector<Point> points = createPoints() // Fills points, This works.
Delaunay dt(points.begin(), points.end());
According to this question and the manual here. This should work, however I get the following error:

The manual states that:
Precondition: The value_type of first and last is Point.
Where first and last are the beginning and end iterator.
EDIT: I solved it by doing this:
Delaunay dt;
dt.insert(points.begin(), points.end());
Although it is fixed, the type declarations for the required iterator are the same according to the manual. Why would it fail in the constructor and not in the insert function.
By any chance, would you be using an old release of CGAL ? This constructor from range was introduced later than the insert() function, if memory serves me well. Well, just check the code.
