#37311: CGAL 4.1 -- How do I set the "proper" CGAL_DIR environment variables? -----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: cdenman@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: CGAL -----------------------+-------------------------------- In the CGAL installation manual at the CGAL.org site it lists the following description for the environment variable CGAL_DIR _________________________ Variables used only when building programs (such as demos or examples) Variable Description Type Default value CGAL_DIR Full-path to the binary directory where Cgal was configured Either CMake or Environment none _________________________ If I had downloaded, configured, and compiled on my own (which I have done in the past, but much prefer Macports) I know where the CGAL folder is. However, with the Macports installation of CGAL I am not sure what the "proper" path to the binary directory "where CGAL was configured. I would guess that it might be: CGAL_DIR = /opt/local/bin Also, there is not a CGAL folder in /Applications/Macports. I notice that the Demos and Examples are installed in /opt/local/share/cgal. Would it be better to have these in a CGAL folder, or others? I am trying to get CGAL to work properly with Scilab by using the Atoms Module called CGLAB. I am noticing that the Scilab environment variables pertaining to the CGLAB are not setting up properly. One such variable needed might be CGAL_DIR. Any help would be appreciated to better understand the environment to use CGAL via an application (Scilab.app), which is not running from Terminal but from the OSX.
