Compiling a basic CGAL program in C++ on Mac OS X 10.7.2

Question

When I tried to compile Voronoi_Diagram_2 example I am getting this output:

singhg@~/Programming/examples/Voronoi_diagram_2 $ cmake -DCGAL_DIR=/opt/local/lib/cmake/
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:20 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    /opt/local//opt/local/lib/cmake/UseCGAL.cmake


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:22 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    CGAL_CreateSingleSourceCGALProgram


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:26 (create_single_source_cgal_program):
  Unknown CMake command "create_single_source_cgal_program".


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Please help!

Answer 1

Make CGAL3.9 work on Mac OS X 10.7.2 to run only CGAL examples(Demos will not run with this procedure)

• Download src code from the website
  • Extract it in your home directory
  • Open Terminal and go to the folder CGAL3.9
  • run cmake-gui . (don’t forget the dot after a space in this command)
  • Configure : upper window will look red
  • un-mark CGAL-QT3 and CGAL-QT4 in the camke-gui upper window
  • Configure again
  • make
  • make install
  • Done!

To run demos:

• Install QT4 then open Cmake-gui in CGAL src code (of CGAL src code)
  • Mark CGAL_QT4 in the cmake-gui upper window
  • Configure again
  • make
  • make install
  • Done!
