[FlopCpp] problem building FlopC++

[Michal Kaut]

Hello,

I planned to have a look at FlopC++, but has not been able to build it. 
In fact, the sources look rather "suspicious" to me (though I have to 
admit I am not a programmer).

To avoid misunderstandings, I have downloaded FlopC++ using the provided 
svn link and placed into directory <my_path>/Coin-OR/Coin-FlopC++, 
alongside the other projects. (Each project being in Coin-OR/Coin-<name> 
directory, as recommended on the main Coin-OR page.)

The first surprising thing was that there are two different versions, 
one in ./trunk, the other in ./branches/walton - which one should a 
"normal" user use?

Anyway, it turned out to be simple, since ./trunk/flopc.cpp is some kind 
of a binary variable, and therefore does not compile...

The other strange thing was the first lines in the main Makefiles:
CoinDir	= /homespace/hultberg/COIN
First of all, this almost looks like these files were not meant for a 
public distribution?
The next question is, what should it be replaced with? I thought about 
the root Coin-OR dir, but then I noticed there is a -I$(CoinDir)/include 
in the Makefile, while the root dir includes only the dirs of the projects.
I tried the CBC and OSI project dirs (via ../../../Coin-Cbc and 
../../../Coin-Osi), and when it did not compile I gave up...

So the question is, I am doing anything (everything) wrong, or is there 
something wrong with the svn sources?


Thanks a lot.
