[Cbc] Pass model and/or data to the executable via standard

[Pietro Scionti]

Thank you John for the quick reply,
I did try to install GMPL into CBC, but I just didn't under stand how to make it work. As I said, I am on a 64-bit Windows 7 environment, so I downlaoded the Cbc source code in a Visual Studio solution and tried to follow the instructions, but got stuck; the help on getting this to work on Windows is practically non-existent (it is a little frustrating to see "just click this on linux and you're good to go" everywhere), so I gave up and found this workaround. Plus, I am still not sure if tampering with the source code would break any license since I am on a commercial project, so I'm playing it safe.

Btw, if you could point me to some *Windows-specific* walkthrough, I'd be very thankful.

Is what I'm asking possible, regardless of my particular situation with GLPK?

Pietro
