Amr,

Some test results.

I installed the header files belonging to boost-1_61-0.7z in /usr/include.
134 MB on disk, quite a bit IMO. (entire boost download would expand to 555
MB,still more excessive).

Next I've cloned your repo and made a geometry-3.0.0 package from it (incl.
bootstrap)and built geometry-3.0.0 on both Linux and Windows.
In both OS-es, pkg install mentions that "dissolve" isn't found and that
boost needs an upgrade to >= 1.6 (while I have 1.61.0).  Do I need to
install additional boost stuff alongside just the header files?

Then I tried the examples on the Mathworks site.
(http://nl.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/polybool.html).
A little worrying is that when trying the second example set, Octave crashes
hard on the poly2fv call in the sixth block (subplot 2, 3, 6), both on Linux
and Windows.
Can you manage to fix that, please?

best wishes,

philip
