This tutorial will guide you through the different steps to install CGAL and its third party libraries.
The purpose of this tutorial is that you don't have to spend weeks like me fighting to make them all work.

Feel free to comment on the gist comment section to make corrections or improvements !

Notes

  • It's recommended to use Windows PowerShell with administrator privileges as your CLI
  • All necessary environment variables will be configured so that CMake automatically finds all libraries and you don't have to specify the libraries' paths each time to CMake.
  • When adding any environnement variable, add for All users (system variables)
  • Environement variables are case unsensitive (PATH = Path)
  • Add new environement variables in PATH on top of the list (to avoid conflicts)
  • You must restart your CLI and CMake for new environment variables to take effect
  • In this tutorial, C:\dev will be used as root directory for all installations. The folder can be wherever you want, but it is strongly recommended that the path has no spaces.

Essential installation

Prerequisites

  • C++ compiler (get MSVC compiler by insatalling Visual Studio)
  • Git
  • CMake

Install Boost

  1. Download boost_<version>.zip

  2. Extract boost_<version> in C:\dev

  3. Go to your Boost source directory with your CLI, and do:

    .\bootstrap.bat
.\b2.exe link=shared

  4. Set the following three environment variables:
    BOOST_DIR = C:\dev\boost_<version>\stage\lib\cmake\Boost-<version> (path to BoostConfig.cmake)
    BOOST_LIBRARYDIR = C:\dev\boost_<version>\stage\lib (path to all .lib)
    BOOST_INCLUDEDIR = C:\dev\boost_<version> (root directory)

  5. Add C:\dev\boost_<version>\stage\lib to Path environement variable (path to all .dll)

Install CGAL

CGAL is header only and don't need to be build.

  1. Download CGAL-<version>.zip and CGAL-<version>-win64-auxiliary-libraries-gmp-mpfr.zip files
  2. Extract CGAL-<version>.zip in C:\dev
  3. Extract CGAL-<version>-win64-auxiliary-libraries-gmp-mpfr.zip and past his auxiliary folder in C:\dev\CGAL-<version> (overwrite existing files)
  4. Set CGAL_DIR environement variable to C:\dev\CGAL-<version> (path to CGALConfig.cmake)
  5. Add C:\dev\CGAL-<version>\auxiliary\gmp\lib to Path environement variable (path to libgmp-10.lib)

Notes:
If your GMP and MPFR libraries are not in C:\dev\CGAL-<version>\auxiliary, you have to specify they path in environement variables.

  1. Set GMP_DIR environement variable to the GMP root directory
  2. Set MPFR_DIR environement variable to the MPFR root directory

Well done!
CGAL is now well installed and functional. However, many packages require additional libraries to work.
Missing libraries will usually be specified to you when you configure your program with CMake.

Optional libraries

  8. Copy C:\dev\zlib-<version>\build\zconf.h file in C:\dev\zlib-<version> (otherwise the header file will not be found)

  9. Set ZLIB_ROOT environement variable to C:\dev\zlib-<version>

  10. Add C:\dev\zlib-<version>\build\Release to Path environement variable (path to zlib.lib)

    #ifdef __MSC__
#if (_MSC_VER < 1800)
/* MSC does not have rint() function */
#define rint(x) ((int)((x)+0.5))
#endif

  9. Set METIS_ROOT environement variable to C:\dev\metis-<version>

  10. Add C:\dev\metis-<version>\build\libmetis\Release to Path environement variable (path to metis.lib)

  4. Set CGAL_Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to True

  5. Click on the button Configure, Generate and then Open Project
    Visual Studio will open up

  6. Put your "Solution Configuration" in Release mode

  7. Build the ALL_BUILD project

  8. Launch the demo found in C:\dev\CGAL-<version>\demo\Polyhedron\build\Release

Possible errors

  • METIS_PartMeshNodal

    Error :

    'C2664 int METIS_PartMeshNodal(idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,real_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *,idx_t *)' : cannot convert argument 7 from 'int *' to 'idx_t *'

    Solution (link or code) : CGAL GitHub issue n°5410

  • METIS_PartMeshDual
    Same as METIS_PartMeshNodal error

maximecharriere commented May 5, 2021

I have added instructions for TBB and GLPK, but as you asked in the issue #5676, there is for the moment a problem with TBB.
If you can get TBB to work let me know so I can update the instructions.

I'm not from the CGAL's teams 😅
I just also struggled a lot to install everything from source on Windows, so I did this walkthrough two years ago.
But if you just want all the pre-compiled binary files to lauch the demo, they are available on CGAL's website.

Manual about the demo: https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Manual/windows.html#sec-win-demo
The Demo: https://www.cgal.org/demo/5.5.2/polyhedron_3.zip
All necessaries DLLs (must be placed in the same directory as the .exe of the demo): https://www.cgal.org/demo/5.5.2/CGAL-demoDLLs.zip

@maximecharriere thanks a lot. it's really complicated, i use vcpkg to perform the compile, some of the package can not be found: libpointmatcher, scip, libnabo,laslib, OpenGR,doxygen.
should be compile by hand or download the installer.
