This is not a question, but a small tutorial how to use CGAL without setup.exe files for dummies like me:
For me in Visual Studio 2019 Windows worked
I downloaded files from
https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases/download/v5.2/CGAL-5.2.zip
https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases/download/v5.2/CGAL-5.2-win64-auxiliary-libraries-gmp-mpfr.zip
To follow the previous logic I placed gmp files to auxiliary/gmp folder (this files is empty once you download cgal):
In visual studio I had project linking to CGAL-5.1.1. I changed the ending to CGAL-5.2 for Linker:
In visual studio I had project linking to CGAL-5.1.1. I changed the ending to CGAL-5.2 for C++ to link headers:
In visual studio I can build old files with this version successfully.
I will continue working on this 5.2 to spot if the linking is correct, but looks good form the first sight.
From screenshots you can see that I am using boost 1.74, in documentation it says 1.71, still works.
