6 years ago The problem is describes within the message you post: Unable to find the Boost header files. Please set BOOST_ROOT to the root directory containing Boost or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR to the directory containing Boost's headers.
For building CGAL you also need boost and setup the BOOST_ROOT path in your environment settings.
when i entered the command for build files for visual basic i am getting the folllowing error-D:\CGAL-4.12>cmake . -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON -- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.17134.0 to target Windows 10.0.16299. == Setting paths == -- Build CGAL from release in directory CGAL-4.12 -- Packagenames: CGAL-4.12 == Setting paths (DONE) ==
