[Coin-discuss] Big Installation-Problems

The COIN distribution does not have projects for building with Visual
Studio.Net.

It does have projects for building with Visual Studio Version 6.
See COIN\Win\Readme.txt
It is my understanding that the Version 6 project files will open up in
Visual Studio .Net.

I'm not sure why you are downloading gnu make if you are trying to build
with Visual Studio .Net.
If you want to build with gnu make then you should install cygwin
(www.cygwin.com).

Two days ago I did a complete checkout of COIN and ran make in Coin/Cbc
under cygwin without any problems.

I used cvs instead of the tarball

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at www.coin-or.org:2401/home/coin/coincvs
cvs logon
anonymous
cvs checkout COIN
cd COIN/Cbc
make
