[Cbc] Linking with Cbc

[Ted Ralphs]

As another follow-up for posterity, I wanted to remind everyone (since it's
not very well documented) that there are two ways to get the proper link
line after building Cbc (or any other COIN project):

1. There is pkgconfig support. Doing

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/install/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs cbc

will get you the list of libraries. For link flags, do

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/install/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --flags cbc

2. If you don't want to depend on pkg-config, then there is also a file

/path/to/install/share/coin/doc/Cbc/cbc_addlibs.txt

that contains the link flags and link line that should be used.

These are specific to the machine on which the code was compiled, so that
whatever libraries are detected and linked to (like libz) on that
particular machine are included in the link line. This link line may not
work on another machine.

Cheers,

Ted
