I found the CGAL examples not to compile under Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). You can compile the main CGAL 4.3 library successfully and also link with it, but when using certain types of the library, I am receiving errors as shown below.
Specifically, I was interested in using the example Surface_reconstruction_points_3, which I tried to build initially, receiving this error:
Linking CXX executable poisson_reconstruction

To get very particular I was actually interested in the function CGAL::make_normal_of_point_with_normal_pmap and build a test case, just to try and use it. However, I receive an error when compiling this code (below).

As somewhat expected, the standard way of building all examples triggers errors as well (here I tried to build all CGAL examples). To get there, I used cmake to build the CGAL 4.3 library from source and enable WITH_examples in the settings. When compiling I called make and make examples, which resulted in this error:

In the end, if you have any idea how to get the make_normal_of_point_with_normal_pmap function to work again, that would be magnificent. I do not really need to build all examples, but would like to use that part of CGAL again. Thanks!
