build error under MinGW

Asked by Chaffra Affouda

Hello, I am getting the error below when building under MinGW. i dont' quite know what it means. Hopefully someome has an idea because CGAL compiles well and is detected by dolfin. I am using CGAL-4.0.1.

/DOLFIN/dolfin/generation/GeometryToCGALConverter.cpp:35:0:

GeometryToCGALConverter.cpp should include #include <dolfin/common/constants.h> instead of #include <dolfin/math/basic.h>. This breaks on MinGW

you have to add

#undef near

to #include <dolfin/math/basic.h>. Apparently near is already defined in MinGW.
