Using vs2015 64-bit compiler to build up CGAL-4.7 on window 7

Based on previous blog:http://blog.csdn.net/seamanj/article/details/50616654, 

1.  download CGAL4.7 

https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/releases/tag/releases/CGAL-4.7

CGAL-4.7-Setup.exe

2. install CGAL4.7

here, we choose 64-bits

set the environment

3. install 64-bit boost 1.6.0

see: http://blog.csdn.net/seamanj/article/details/51001611

here, boost_build.bat I used is like:

b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 variant=release threading=multi link=shared define=_SECURE_SCL=0 define=_HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0    b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 variant=debug threading=multi link=shared  

then set environment variable:

BOOST_INCLUDEDIR = C:\work_files\boost_1_60_0

BOOST_LIBRARYDIR = C:\work_files\boost_1_60_0\stage\lib

4. config QT5.6.0

at this time, only beta version is provided.

download qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2015_64-5.6.0-beta.exe

from: http://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.0-beta/

then set environment variables:

QTDIR = C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0

add C:\Qt\Qt5.6.0\5.6\msvc2015_64\bin to path

5. config libQGLViewer

download from: http://libqglviewer.com/installWindows.html

extract to: C:\work_files\libQGLViewer-2.6.3

open vs2015 x64 native tools command prompt

change your current work directory to 

C:\work_files\libQGLViewer-2.6.3\QGLViewer

then type:

qmake.exe

nmake

After compiling, set environment variable:

QGLVIEWERROOT = C:\work_files\libQGLViewer-2.6.3

add  C:\work_files\libQGLViewer-2.6.3\QGLViewer to path

6. config CGAL-4.7

via cmake

source code :C:\work_files\CGAL-4.7

binaries code:C:\work_files\CGAL-4.7\build_vs2015_x64

then compile

add C:\work_files\CGAL-4.7\build_vs2015_x64\bin to path

7. compile example

8.compile demo

some demos build on TBB of intel, so we compile TBB first:

download from:

https://www.threadingbuildingblocks.org/sites/default/files/software_releases/windows/tbb44_20151115oss_win_0.zip

extract to:

C:\work_files\tbb44_20151115oss

set environment variable:

TBBROOT = C:\work_files\tbb44_20151115oss

TBB_ARCH_PLATFORM = intel64/vc14

add C:\work_files\tbb44_20151115oss\bin\intel64\vc14 to path

some demos need Eigen library, after downloading we set environment variable:

EIGEN3_DIR ＝  C:\work_files\eigen-eigen-c58038c56923

note: every time you change the environment variables, you'd better to relaunch cmake to make the change effective.

config demo in cmake

At last, compile the projects in VS15, the result after running T3_demo project is like:
