<div><FONT size=3>I'm an extreme newbie to Coin-OR (and C++), and I'm hoping someone can help me or point me in the right direction to get a very simple example problem running. I consulted the FAQs and documentation, and I was unsuccessful after several hours of trying.</FONT></div> <div><FONT size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>Things you should know:</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>1) I successfully downloaded and ran the makefile for Osi, Clp, and other packages to my computer (using Cygwin on Windows XP)</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>2) The only thing I know about C++ is from Deitel and Deitel's "C++ How to Program" (so I don't know anything about makefiles other than how to run them)</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>3) I successfully ran the makefile in Coin/Osi/Test, and I successfully ran the unitTest.exe file in Coin/Osi (although I did get the message "Assertion failed: mpsRc==0, file OsiSolverInterfaceTest.cpp, line 1757 This application has requested the Runtime
to terminate it in an unusual way. P! lease contact the application's support team for more information.") So, all the *.o files, *.a files, *.hpp files and subdirectories were created.</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>4) I tried running the following example: </FONT><A href="http://www.coin-or.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/COIN/Examples/Osi/basic.cpp?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain" target=_blank><FONT color=blue size=3><U>http://www.coin-or.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/COIN/Examples/Osi/basic.cpp?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain</U></FONT></A><FONT size=3>. I used the following makefile: </FONT><A href="http://www.coin-or.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/COIN/Examples/Osi/Makefile.basic?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain" target=_blank><FONT color=blue size=3><U>http://www.coin-or.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/COIN/Examples/Osi/Makefile.basic?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain</U></FONT></A><FONT size=3> and I appropriately changed "COIN_DIR := /home/COIN" (where my COIN directory is
located) and ran makefile.basic according to the directions at: </FONT><A href="http://www.coin-or.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/COIN/Examples/Osi/README?rev=1.2;content-type=text%2Fplain" target=_blank><FONT color=blue size=3><U>http://www.coin-or.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/COIN/Examples/Osi/README?rev=1.2;content-type=text%2Fplain</U></FONT></A><FONT size=3>. </FONT> </div> <div><FONT size=3>5) I also tried adding libraries with the -l flag when calling g++, and I tried compiling basic.cpp from the command line. Every attempt yielded the same problem.</FONT></div> <div><FONT size=3>6) I got pages and pages of error messages, the last portion of which looked like this:</FONT> <BR><FONT size=3> </FONT> <BR><FONT size=3>/home/COIN/lib/libClp.a(ClpPredictorCorrector.o):ClpPredictorCorrector.cpp:(.tex<BR>t+0x74f7): undefined reference to
