Description (last modified by )
This ticket adds a preliminary Sage package for CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library. http://www.cgal.org/index.html
It is a huge package. My main interest, right now, comes from a need for fast data structures for polyhedral complexes in low dimension / piecewise linear functions in several variables.
Installation goes through; I have not tested anything.

. . . . . .
Some history:
In 2009, there was intermittent interest in making such a Sage package. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/35g7UicEKvo One of the concerns at the time apparently was CGAL's licensing. However, CGAL has changed its licensing terms since then; it now appears to be released under some combination of GPL and LGPL, version 3 or later. http://www.cgal.org/license.html
There also was some interest in this topic in 2013: http://www.cgal.org/gsoc/2013.html I do not know if there were any outcomes.

Nice! Testing right now.

There are also various boost libraries needed...
(EDIT: for which we have a package)
comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by
The Sage cmake package is installed. Why don't we use the system one if it is there (as we do for gcc)?

At least I am able to compile simple CGAL projects within Sage. However, having some cython code using CGAL looks less trivial.

There's https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cgal-bindings/0.0.7 (haven't tested)
