[Environment Setup 11] Build CGAL-based programs using CMake

[@lucypena8978]

Thank you so much! With this way, can I compile any example of CGAL, for example, a of 3D convex hull?

[@TuxRiders]

Yes, this is more or less the method to compile CGAL-based programs.

Thanku so much for the video it's really helpfull ❤️❤️❤️

[@TuxRiders]

My pleasure 😊

Nice video, I have a question do you know if there is any WEB API to obtain volume or perimeter of a 3d model?

[@TuxRiders]

hi, I'm afraid I've never faced such API you are looking for.

[@jackbrown4568]

Hi Mr. Barzegari, your video is very useful but regardless of following every one of the steps you've shown I still find myself with errors in the CMake console (most of them telling me that GMP and MFPR cannot be found). Do you know why this happens?

[@TuxRiders]

oh, really? it shouldn't be like that :) please make sure that you follow the commands mentioned in the video. you can find them all here: github.com/TuxRiders/environment-setup/blob/main/episode-11-build-cgal-programs-using-cmake.md. your problem is related to the commands that install GMP and MPFR, so make sure to run the correct commands from this page. if the problem persists, come back to me with the error message.

[@jackbrown4568]

@@TuxRiders oh thank you. I solved by having to set manually all the CMake variables such as GMP_INCLUDE_DIR ecc. one by one.

[@TuxRiders]

@@jackbrown4568 nice :)

Thank you

You're welcome :)

please explain how to build CGAL-bindings for python

[@TuxRiders]

sure I will. the CGAL SWIG bindings project is still in experimental state, but it's worth having a look. for python binding, there is another project I would recommend: github.com/meshpro/pygalmesh. this is not a full wrapper on all the functionalities of CGAL, but it covers most popular features.

Thanks!!!

[@TuxRiders]

Welcome!

[@fdshdsfdsqq]

With the -DCMAKE flags, I was able to compile the program, otherwise there was an error MPFR::MPFR but the target was not found. Thank you!

[@TuxRiders]

thank you for sharing this tip :)
