[BuildTools] BuildTools help

[Horand Gassmann]

Hi,

I am trying to connect the CSDP solver to Optimization Services (OS). Since CSDP does not have a build system, I tried to put the line

AC_COIN_CHECK_USER_LIBRARY([Csdp],  [CSDP],  [blockmat.h])

into my configure.ac. The configure file currently has two other calls to AC_COIN_CHECK_USER_LIBRARY (for Lindo and knitro), but I have neither of those installed on my system, so I can't really use them to verify my approach. (The checks for these two packages have a fourth argument, [OSLib], but when I tried this with Csdp, I got an error message during the run_autotools step. Taking it out completed the run_autotools.)

I then ran configure as follows:

../configure -C --enable-debug --with-csdp-lib="-L$HOME/research/Csdp/lib -sdp" --with-csdp-incdir="$HOME/research/Csdp/include"

The incdir definitely lists the correct path. However, when I try to use this include directory in the make step, I get the error

fatal error: declarations.h: No such file or directory

(The environment variable COIN_HAS_CSDP seems to be set correctly.) I then looked at the compile command, and, sure enough, it does not list the include path

-I /home/gus/research/Csdp/include

even though it is clearly mentioned on the configure step. I am obviously doing something wrong.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
