Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] volunteers to update cgal?

[Luis Saavedra]

I attach a patch to mercurial repo (savannah). With that I achievement seamlessly compile and use CGAL 3.9. The principal problem with cgal is cmake: cmake tries to run test programs (3.9 has more test that 3.8), and in a cross-compile-platform there is no way to run this programs with cmake (I suspect), for this cmake uses "cache responses", in the case of 3.8 with the file TryRunResults.cgal.cmake we covered all test responses for 3.8, but this is not enough for 3.9, that is the principal problem. There exist another problem with CGAL_Macros.cmake, apparently ${LIB}_VERSION_LINE2 or ${${LIB}_VERSION_LINE} are empty, I do not know why, but that problem is specific to 3.9 version,

regards,
Luis

No, I just didn't read correctly. Sorry for the noise.

Indeed.
