README.Debian ------------- The homepage of CGAL (http://www.cgal.org/) offers more information about CGAL. In particular, a mailing list and the documentation for the library (online and offline) are available. The authors ask you to give some feedback about your usage of CGAL in a short questionnaire (in the "Support" section). Documentation ------------- Note that the CGAL documentation cannot be packaged for Debian due to unclear license conditions. The complete documentation (online and offline) is available at http://www.cgal.org/. Demos and examples ------------------ Tarballs with demos and examples can be found in /usr/share/doc/libcgal-demo. Extract the tarballs somewhere and call "cmake ." to configure the demos/examples. Call "make" to build them, either in the top-level directory to build all demos/examples (which takes some time and needs quite some disk space), or in the subdirectory of the desired demo/exmaple. The cmake option -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON is useful to generate verbose makefiles that show each executed command. The data files will be found automatically if their tarball is extracted into the same directory as the demos and/or examples. Otherwise, the location can be set with the cmake option -DCGAL_DATA_DIR. Support for MPFI and NTL ------------------------ Support for MPFI and NTL is not enabled in the default configuration. The support can be manually enabled by defining the macros CGAL_USE_MPFI and CGAL_USE_NTL and linking with -lmpfi and -lntl, respectively. -- Joachim Reichel Sat, 18 Dec 2021 12:05:42 +0100
