CGAL_DEV_MODE - MaelRL/cgal GitHub Wiki

Since CGAL-4.12, the behavior of CGAL CMake scripts have changed.

The CMake option CGAL_DEV_MODE currently has two effects:

  • the CMake variable CMAKE_NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED is set to TRUE, so that the CGAL include paths are setup using -I instead of -isystem, so that internal warnings of the CGAL headers are not disabled,

  • and the old behavior of our CMake scripts is used: the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE and compilation flags configured in CGAL_DIR are copied to the current CMake project.

The default variable of the CMake option is taken from the environment variable of the same name. Developers are advised to have:

    CGAL_DEV_MODE=ON
    export CGAL_DEV_MODE

in their $HOME/.bash_profile or equivalent.
