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 is not packaged for Debian since there is no tarball with the documentation sources available. 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 Sun, 07 Sep 2025 19:44:16 +0200
