[Dip] Dip and Mac OS X

[R. Kipp Martin]

Hi Tor:

> Thanks for a quick reply! With the risk of sounding like complete newbee, could you perhaps explain what you you mean about "building the trunk" and perhaps describe (just the major steps) how you did it? Where do you place the Dip files? What parameters do you specify in the config-step? Are there any env variables that I need to set? Etc. I keep running into problems with linking errors primarily.

Most COIN-OR project are available as either a 1) release version, 2) 
stable version, or 3) trunk.

The source code for a release, say x.y.z will not change. It is fixed. A 
release version represents a working version of project that implements 
a give set of features such as the API. Release version x.y.z is built 
from stable x.y. Bugs in a release x.y.z can get fixed in stable x.y. 
Then a new release can be made an z will get incremented. The trunk 
version is the current working version of the project. No guarantees.

I typically built and experimented with the trunk version of Dip and 
simply did

svn co https://projects.coin-or.org/svn/Dip/trunk dip-trunk

so I ended up with files in dip-trunk. It does not matter where 
dip-trunk sits.

I then did a

configure
make
make install

Pretty much what you see at

https://projects.coin-or.org/Dip

I did not set any environment variables. You may wish to build one of 
the examples such as examples/GAP. Make sure to read the README.

I have no experience with Gurobi. You mention link errors. If you are 
trying to use Gurobi you need to specify the correct libs on the 
configure line. I would first try to build without Gurobi and let Dip 
use Cbc.

Did you get link errors using Cbc?

Cheers
