[Coin-lpsolver] Fortran/CLP interface help

[Jose Luis Ceciliano Meza]

Hi all,
 
I tried to post my question before, but something happened because my
message is not shown on the subject file. I would to ask your help again
on using CLP from Fortran.
 
I have contacted Professor Robert Nauss since I found his inquire posted
on the Coin-lpsolver mailing list in September 2005, about the same
issue. Unfortunately, professor Robert gave up his idea about using CLP
with Fortran, and I have included our conversation about it:

Bob,

I would like to ask you if I can post our discussion on the
Coin-lpsolver mailing list, hoping someone could help. Thanks again for
your helpful comments for me.

Jose

Jose,

I was working on a consulting project and we felt that CLP development
issues weren't suitable for a production environment. We had the client
purchase LINDO and called LINDO routines from fortran.

Did you say you had called CPLEX routines from Fortran? I tried that for
a while but never could get it to work. The CPLEX folks weren't very
helpful. However, the LINDO folks have worked with us and I'm quite
happy with the product.

Bob,

Thanks for your message. So, you did not get what you were trying with
CLP and Fortran? I really appreciate your comments about your experience
on that.

Best regards,

Jose

Jose,

I gave up on CLP. I'm using LINDO with its FORTRAN interface for some
work. For straight IP's, I still use CPLEX.

Sorry.

 Dear Bob Nauss,

 Recently I started using CLP for solving different problems in Visual
C++ 6. My biggest issue now is to use CLP with Visual Compact FORTRAN
6.0

 I found your message posted in September 2005 in the Coin-lpsolver
mailing list, using COIN with Fortran for CLP. I followed the same
suggestion that some members (Fasano and Saltzman) told you then. It
does not work for me, and I would like to ask you if you had success on
it.

 Actually, I have used CPLEX as a callable library in Visual Compact
Fortran applications, and I have tried to use this experience with CLP,
but something is missing.

 I attach the project that I created, I would be very grateful if you
could give me some guide on it.

 Thanks a lot.

 Kind regards,

Jose
