 Hi,

 I tried to generate a Bonmin library without having to download the
 ASL.[[BR]]
 Unfortunately, the build system still tried to generate the
 !BonminAmplInterface and the bonmin and nodeSolver executables, which
 depend on the ASL.

 For the first problem, I removed src/BonminAmplInterface from the SUBDIRS
 variable in Bonmin/Makefile.am, and added
 {{{
 if COIN_HAS_ASL
 SUBDIRS += src/BonminAmplInterface
 endif
 }}}

 For the second problem, I first tried to remove also src/Apps from
 SUBDIRS, but then also no library was created (since this is also done in
 the Apps directory).[[BR]]
 Then I tried to define the bonmin and nodeSolver targets only in the case
 that COIN_HAS_ASL is defined, but then automake complained.[[BR]]
 What seem to work is to make the definition of bonmin_SOURCES and
 nodeSolver_SOURCES depending on COIN_HAS_ASL. So if there is no
 COIN_HAS_ASL, then I set them to some dummy.cpp which just defines a
 main() function that does nothing.
 I've attached my modified src/Apps/Makefile.am and dummy.cpp.

 Of course, this is only a quick-and-dirty hack. Better should be to put
 the binaries that depend on the ASL into a different subdirectory and to
 include it into SUBDIRS only if COIN_HAS_ASL is defined.

 I'm using Bonmin release 0.1.1.

 Thanks,
 Stefan

 PS: I was not sure whether I should set the type of this ticket to
 "defect" or "enhancement", but since the Bonmin manual says that the ASL
 is optional, I've chosen "defect.
