I was trying to transform the cgal 2d polygon intersection example into an example that computes 3d triangle intersections. This gave some typical pages of CGAL compiler errors:

make: *** [obj/main.o] Error 1

I fixed this by making sure in the files where I include:

#include <CGAL/intersections.h>

I don't include:

#include <CGAL/Boolean_set_operations_2.h>
