抛弃CMake
长期以来，我一直以为编译CGAL是一项十分艰巨的任务。直到有一天，我决定彻底抛弃繁复的CMake，转而使用简简单单的QMake。这才发现，编译CGAL是如此简单的一个事儿。
注：本文所指的CGAL是指CGAL4.14及之后的版本。
理解CGAL编译依赖
CGAL百分之九十九都是头文件，无需编译，只有1%的内容需要编译。而使用C++17编译时，CGAL只依赖Boost头文件。没错，只需要Boost文件，不需要编译Boost。而那些什么GMP啦，什么MPFR啦，什么Qt啦，编译CGAL的时候是不需要的，只有当使用CGAL的时候才需要。
读者只需要下载并解压缩CGAL源代码到一个不包含空格和非ASCII码的目录，我们姑且叫它[CGAL_ROOT]；
在[CGAL_ROOT]目录下建立一个目录，比如叫做“CGAL_CONFIG/CGAL”；
建立文件“CGAL_CONFIG/CGAL/version.h”并键入内容：
#ifndef CGAL_VERSION_H
#define CGAL_VERSION_H
#define CGAL_VERSION 4.14-I-900
#define CGAL_VERSION_NR 1041400900
#define CGAL_SVN_REVISION 99999
#define CGAL_RELEASE_DATE 20190701
#include <CGAL/version_macros.h>
#endif
建立文件“CGAL_CONFIG/CGAL/compiler_config.h”并键入内容：
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
#define CGAL_CFG_FPU_ROUNDING_MODE_UNWINDING_VC_BUG 1
#define CGAL_CFG_MATCHING_BUG_6 1
#endif
#define CGAL_USE_GMP 1
#define CGAL_USE_MPFR 1
#define CGAL_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS 1
新建一个文件“[CGAL_ROOT]/build_all.cpp”并键入内容：
#include "Geomview/src/CGAL/Geomview_stream.cpp"
#include "Intersections_2/src/CGAL/Bbox_2_intersections.cpp"
#include "Kernel_23/src/CGAL/kernel.cpp"
#include "Number_types/src/CGAL/Interval_arithmetic.cpp"
#include "Number_types/src/CGAL/test_FPU_rounding_mode.cpp"
#include "Profiling_tools/src/CGAL/Real_timer.cpp"
#include "Profiling_tools/src/CGAL/Timer.cpp"
#include "Random_numbers/src/CGAL/Random.cpp"
#include "STL_Extension/src/CGAL/assertions.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/Color.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_header_OFF.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_header_extended_OFF.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_scanner_OFF.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_writer_OFF.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_writer_VRML_2.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_writer_inventor.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/File_writer_wavefront.cpp"
#include "Stream_support/src/CGAL/io.cpp"
没错，只需要编译“build_all.cpp”这么一个文件就行了，编译时顺便多定义一个宏“CGAL_EXPORTS”。其它根本什么都不需要。
比如，读者建立一个文件“[CGAL_ROOT]/build_cgal.pro”并键入内容：

然后，读者用QtCreator打开并编译，CGAL就编译完成。
使用CGAL
使用CGAL只需要多定义一个宏“CGAL_NO_AUTOLINK”，去掉编译期的宏“CGAL_EXPORTS”，即可。好了，给个例子吧。
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = test_cgal
LIBS += -L"<MYCGAL PATH>" -lmycgal
LIBS += -L"<GMP PATH>" -lgmp
LIBS += -L"<MPFR PATH>" -lmpfr
LIBS += -L"<BOOST PATH>" –lboost_thread
LIBS += -L"<BOOST PATH>" –lboost_system
SOURCES += $$PWD/test_main.cpp
DEFINES *= CGAL_NO_AUTOLINK
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/CGAL_CONFIG
INCLUDEPATH += C:/boost/boost_1_70_0
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/AABB_tree/include
……
虽然例子里面要求导入GMP，MPFR以及Boost Thread和Boost System。但实际上对于C++17来说Boost Thread以及Boost System几乎是不需要的。而对于一些简单的无需高精度数字的算法，GMP和MPFR也是不需要的。
