[Cbc] [Symphony] SYMPHONY and MathProg on Windows

[Ted Ralphs]

Hi Jim,

Since you posted your question to both Cbc and SYMPHONY mailing lists, I am
replygin with a cc to both. 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.

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.

Cheers,

Ted
