I followed <A href="https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt/wiki/CompilationHints"><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt/wiki/CompilationHints</SPAN></A>, collected METIS source files into the directory ../ThirdPary/Metis and created a single VC static library (metis.lib). Then I really don't know how to compile ma57 with this METIS lib. Could anyone share his experience in compiling metis for IPOPT in the VS environment or give some advice on this issue? </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; BACKGROUND: white; COLOR: #222222; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 0pt" lang="EN-US">Thanks a lot!</SPAN></P>
