Dear Cbc subscribers<br>I have started a project at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/cmake-coin/">http://code.google.com/p/cmake-coin/</a> that will leverage CMake to build Cbc (among other COIN-OR projects) across platforms. <br>
<br>May I request you to please take a look at it and try it out? The project currently is tailor made for Windows platforms. I need some help in making it compatible with other platforms, primarily Linux. Please take a look at the wiki page in the project as to how to go about building the libraries. <br>
Currently, the project does not build any third party dependencies. In addition, the project build has been tested on Visual Studio 10 and MinGw (gcc 4.7.0).<br><br>During the build, I found a couple of things that I want to share with members here:<br>
a.) I am unable to build shared libraries for sub-projects. Is there a mechanism for doing this? Maybe I am missing out some defines.<br>b.) How is LAPACK used in the library?<br>c.) I ma accumulated all pre-processor defines using MSys. However, Cygwin has been left out as I do not have Cygwin. Please share your findings on this as well.<br>
d.) A few examples in the Cbc/examples do not work. They are driver3.cpp and driver4.cpp. In addition, CbcSolverLongThin.cpp has an include "//#include "CbcHeuristicUser.hpp"" that is not available in the current SVN. Hence, I had to comment out this file.<br>
f.) Once the library is installed, other projects can also call it from CMake. An example for doing this can be found in the ExternalTest folder of the cmake-coin project.<br><br>Feedback of any kind is welcome.<br>Best regards<br>
