Hi Jim,<div><br></div><div>The trunk version of SYMPHONY now has working GMPL support. If you are willing, please check out the trunk version and test it. If everything seems to be OK, then I'll merge changes to stable/5.4 and make a new release in the next couple of days. The INSTALL file has instructions on how to get SYMPHONY built in Visual C++ with GLPK and with GMPL support. Let me know if you have any questions.</div>

Can you be more specific about the platform you are trying to build on? There are a number of ways of building binaries in Windows, some easier than others. I assume you are talking about Visual C++? This is the hardest one :(. In any case, there will not be any binaries that include GMPL support because the license of GLPK (GPL) prohibits us distributing binaries linked to it.<div>
<div><div>
<br></div><div>I have just now tried and realized that the SYMPHONY interface to GMPL is a bit broken. I believe the Cbc one is working fine. I'll fix and then try to tell you how to build with that support.</div><div>

Can anyone point me to good step-by-step guide for configuring<br>
SYMPHONY to read MathProg files in Windows? Is there are way to do it<br>
with<br>
binaries, or do you need to compile SYMPHONY and GLPK together?<br>
Finally, is using SYMPHONY directly with MathProg much more efficient<br>
than using GLPK to write an MPS file and then solving with SYMPHONY ?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
