[SOLVED] Errors when installing the CGAL plugin

[Qi]

Hi,
I installed the CGAL plugin (Window 10) in the following steps:
Step 1: Installing the software CGAL5.0.2
Step 2: Compiling CGAL Libraries
Step 3: Compiling CGalPlugin

In step3, I successfully compiled the CGalPlugin in Cmake.
When I compiling CGALPLUGIN in VS2017,it showed some errors like these:
Error C2660: CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2<CDT1>::vertices_in_constraint_begin': function does not take 2 arguments； Project: CGALPlugin； File: D:\SOFA\sofa\src\applications\plugins\CGALPlugin\src\CGALPlugin\Refine2DMesh.inl； CODE: Line 300, Error C2660: 'CGAL::Constrained_triangulation_plus_2<CDT1>::vertices_in_constraint_end': function does not take 2 arguments； Project: CGALPlugin； File: D:\SOFA\sofa\src\applications\plugins\CGALPlugin\src\CGALPlugin\Refine2DMesh.inl CODE: Line 301.

I don’t know how to solve it.Please help me.Thanks.
I used Sofa v19.12.

Hi @qzha862

Thank you for opening the issue #1389 on GitHub.
This was indeed an issue in the previous release. It was fixed in the master branch in the PR #1308.

NB: it has recently been decided that a new stable branch would now derive from the last stable release (v20.06) and include all fixes and patches, in order for you to work in best conditions. Stay tuned.

Best

This is the error log I am getting:

thanks @sukhraj for the feedback

This is an error in Refine2DMesh which I reported in a previous SOFA dev meeting. It occurrs with the latest (>=5.0) version of CGAL. I created an issue on this topic here.

Do not hesitate to poke the dev in charge of this topic. (I just did it few minutes ago)
Best,
