 I am trying to run the first example (i.e. minimum.cpp) of the Clp
 documentation using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and static library files
 without including all the header and source files in my project. I did not
 succeed. Since I am new to MS Visual Studio I am wondering what I am doing
 wrong. After I unpacked the Clp package I opened project Clp.sln from the
 c:/Libs/Clp/MSVisualStudio/v9 subdirectory and build the solution. The
 building process ended without any error and libraries libClp.lib and
 libCoinUtils.lib were founded in
 C:\Libs\Clp-1.10.0\Clp\MSVisualStudio\v9\Debug. I then told the MS Visual
 Studio where to find headers and library files.

 Using the “Tools Menu” and picking “Options” ( and then “Projects and
 Solutions” and “VC++ Directories”) I first tell MS Visual the location of
 the library files (libClp.lib and libCoinUtils.lib) on a global basis :

     (See Library_files.jpg)

 I then tell MS Visual Studio the location of the header files (under “Show
 directories for: Include files” (the last three lines of the list)

     (See Include_files.jpg)

 I then built a new project containing only file minimum.cpp and I add the
 library names (libClp and libCoinUtils) to the linker the following way.
 In the Solution Explorer I right clicked on the bolded project name and
 choose “Properties” from the menu. I opened the “Configuration Properties”
 node, the “Linker” node, clicked on “Command Line” and under “Additional
 options”, I added the names of the two libraries.

     (See Additional_options.jpg)

 I added the header file “ClpSimplex.hpp” in my project and then performed
 a Build Solution. I got error messages from the linker. The BuildLog file
 is an attachment to this email.

 I also tried to include all the Clp and CoinUtils header files in my
 project and I still have the same problem.

 Could you tell me what I should do to invoke correctly the Clp and
 CoinUtils libraries ?

 Thanks in advance

 Regards,
