Install CGAL-python under Ubuntu 9.04

如何安装:

问题在于ubuntu 9.04 uses python 2.6 instead of python 2.5, which makes the previous build of cgal-python0.9.3 invalid. Need to rebuild cgal-python.

Since the newest CGAL version is 3.4, we upgrade it from 3.3.

--------------------------
install boost-python

still use libboost-python1.34.1. note that 1.37.0 does not make the cgal-python building correct. If 1.37.0 exists, remove from synatic.

sudo apt-get install libboost-python1.34.1
sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev

-------------------------
install CGAL 3.4

1. download
http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=52

2. sudo apt-get install cmake

3. follow the instruction of INSTALL under CGAL-3.4 directory
cmake .

4. make

5. sudo make install

------------------------

install cgal-python0.9.4 beta1 (the latest. I guess 0.9.3 is also OK.)


download the package, and do
export CPATH=/usr/include/python2.6:$CPATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH

python setup.py build
python setup.py install (possibly as root)
