How to solve: error C2039: 'make_normal_of_point_with_normal_pmap': is not a member of 'CGAL'

Question

I am using CGAL 4.12 and eigen 3.3.4 and trying to compile the Poisson_surface_reconstruction_3 example trough a Matlab mex function and am getting the following error:

C:\Users\u0116401\Documents\PRosPeRoS\Matlab_Code\mexTest\CGAL_poisson_reconstruction.cpp(70): error C2039: 'make_normal_of_point_with_normal_pmap': is not a member of 'CGAL'
C:\dev\CGAL-4.12\include\CGAL/IO/read_xyz_points.h(40): note: see declaration of 'CGAL'
C:\Users\u0116401\Documents\PRosPeRoS\Matlab_Code\mexTest\CGAL_poisson_reconstruction.cpp(70): error C3861: 'make_normal_of_point_with_normal_pmap': identifier not found

It seems 'make_normal_of_point_with_normal_pmap' can't be found. Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

The code that produces this error is:

Answer 1

The function is named make_normal_of_point_with_normal_map() (map not pmap) and it takes Point_with_normal as parameter. The call should be:

CGAL::make_normal_of_point_with_normal_map(Point_with_normal())
