I just tested Cbc with GMPL support and it seems to work. In Unix-like environments with the autotools, it is only necessary to run the ./get.Glpk script in ThirdParty/Glpk prior to configuration and also add<div><br></div>

read MathProg files in Windows? Is there are way to do it with<br>
binaries, or do you need to compile CBC and GLPK together? Finally, is<br>
using CBC directly with MathProg much more efficient than using GLPK<br>
to write an MPS file and then solving with CBC?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
