<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to build ipopt with vs2010 and the intel mkl pardiso.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have used the solution in the v8-ifort subdirectory (ipopt 3.12.3) upgraded to vs2010 C++ solution by visual studio.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">First, allow me a comment :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The existing (main) project targets to create a windows shared library (dll) without providing neither expoting directives in the code (__declspec(dllexport) ) nor a .def file.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(dumpbin/exports shows the symbols exported – definitely not the classes).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hence I had to transform it into a static library solution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Until now all these is really tangential to my main questions, but thought to let you know that some things do not work as intended).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Now, back to the issue:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to only use mkl pardiso.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore I removed from the project the other Solver interfaces and kept (included) only this one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Defined the ppc symbols :<o:p></o:p></p>
