[Coin-discuss] compiling static libraries

[Michael Hennebry]

I've been trying to make COIN-OR
and Symphony work with GLPK.
I've gotten as far as trying to compile Osi.
The directions have my mind spinning.

What am I to do with the following lines from
Makefile.location :
# CoinLibsDefined += COIN_libGlpk
# CoinLibsDefined += COIN_libOsiGlpk
?
Do I uncomment one, both, neither?
If neither, how do I tell Osi that it is supposed to work with GLPK?
What do each of those do?

The flags in a lot of Makefiles have flags for STATIC or SHARED libraries.
In Makefile.location, *.so is mostly hard-coded.
If I want static libraries (I prefer something I can make work),
should I globally change .so to .a?
Do I also need to do something unobvious?
