[Dip] Installing dippy on windows

[Ted Ralphs]

Hi Eduardo,

I'm cc'ing the mailing list, since other users might also find the
discussion useful. It would be helpful if you could post relevant output so
I could see more precisely what the problem might be, but your guess about
is probably right. The solution is to make sure the version of Dippy you're
using matches the version of the binaries you have installed.

I have a preliminary mechanism for automatically building and deploying
binaries for new version if download binaries for the latest release
version here:

https://bintray.com/coin-or/download/Dip/0.92.3

In particular, for Python 2.7, get this ZIP file:

https://bintray.com/coin-or/download/download_file?file_path=Dip-0.92.3-win32-msvc9.zip

Unpack it somewhere and then set the variable COIN_INSTALL_DIR to point to
the location with

set COIN_INSTALL_DIR=C:\dir\where\stored

Let me know if this works and if not, how far you get with it. I can help
you get you past any sticking points. Sorry this isn't so well documented.

Cheers,

Ted
