[FlopCpp] problem building FlopC++

[Tim Hultberg]

Hi Michal,
   yes, there is definetely something wrong with the svn sources. Thank
you for finding this. It will be corrected. In the meanwhile to get you
going here are some answers.

1. you should use the trunk

2. I have no idea how flopc.cpp got corrupted, I have just checked in a
correct version now, so you should be able to get it from the svn.

3. CoinDir must be the root Coin-OR as you first guessed. If you do a
make install on COIN you should get all the include files in the root
include directory (at least thats how it used to work, tell me if this
has changed)

I hope this will allow you to proceed swiftly, if not please complain.

Cheers, Tim

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.

Regards,
Michal Kaut
