[Coin-discuss] Big Installation-Problems

[WoelliUSM at aol.com]

Dear  Ladies and Gentlemen, 
my  name is Christian Woellenstein. I am a student from Cologne/Germany.   
Since  more than one week I spend a lot of hours to install COIN, but I don’t 
get it  done. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong and so I really need 
help.  Hopefully, you can give me the advices I need, because except me, there 
is no  one I know of working with that beautiful program (I enjoyed and 
appreciated the  work with COIN in combination with GAMS very much!!!).   
But  maybe I should start at the beginning. I use Win 2000. My goal is to use 
COIN  under Visual c++.net. 
First, I  downloaded “COIN_2005Dec01.tar” and “gamscoin_visual.tar”. I 
followed exactly  the advices form the website _www.gams.com/gamscoin/_ 
(http://www.gams.com/gamscoin/) .  
Here  is my first questions: 
(1)   Did  I download the right components?  
(2)   Are  there any other, maybe more detailed Installing  guides? 
I  downloaded “gnu make-3.80.tar”. As I tried to install that, the program 
to  configure it stopped, giving me advices to download “DJGPP”. The Website  “
Delorie.com” gave me the advice to download  this:

Here  is my next questions: 
(3)   Did  I download the right components? Do you miss  something? 
After  that I installed both programms, make-3.80 and DJGPP, without 
problems.   
Then  I changed to the COIN directories. As a starter, I tried to install  
\Examples\Bac. 
I  changed to \examples/bac and typed “make”. This were the  results: 
“(cd  /COIN/Osi/OsiClp && c:/programme/make-3.80/make-3.80/make.exe  install) 
 
No  such file or directory 
(cd  /COIN/Cgl && c:/programme/make-3.80/make-3.80/make.exe  install)  
No  such file or directory 
C:/programme/make-3.80/make-3.80/make.exe –f Makefile.bc  bcps 
No  such file or directory 
Make.exe[1]: Entering directory  ‘c:/COIN/examples/BAC’ 
/COIN/Makefiles/Makefile.coin:35:  /COIN/Makefiles/makefile.:  
No  such file or directory (ENOENT) 
No  such file or directory 
“” 
Creating dependency  BCP_INST_system.d 
Forbidden Option  -/COIN 
Make.exe[1] *** [/COINBcp/dep/BCP_INST_system-d]  Error-1 
Make.exe[1]: Leaving directory  ‘c:/COIN/Examples/BAC’ 
Make.exe: ***[bc] Error  2” 
Note:  I translated the german “Befehl oder Dateiname nicht gefunden” as “No 
such file  or directory”. I hope, that this is correct translation because it 
should rather  be “Command or file name not found”. 
The  next questions: 
(4)   Why  does “make” does not build the libraries (I didn’t change 
Makefile.coin or  Makefile.location)? 
(5)   How  do Makefile.coin and makefile.location have to look like, if they 
should run  under Windows 2000? 
(6)   I  want to use COIN under Visual C++.net 2003. After I build all 
libraries etc.  with “make”, will COIN work then there? Or do I have to make more  
adjustments? 
Thanks in advance, 
greetings from  Cologne, 
Christian  Woellenstein
