[Coin-ipopt] Ipopt on intel mac

[Bruce Shapiro]

Hi Peter,

I've tried to follow your instructions but I've still run into a few  
problems:

(1) In step 2 where you say "move lapack/make.inc.example to lapack/ 
make.inc.example" do you really mean "move lapack/make.inc.example to  
lapack/make.inc"

(2) I could not do the make on liblapack.a until I first compiled  
everything in /LAPACK/INSTALL folder first

(3) In step 3 "building the IPOPT libraries" you compile the C and C+ 
+ libraries. Which ones? Which folders? I see six folders in the  
IPOPT/SRC: algorithm, apps, common, interfaces, linalg. Did you  
compile all of these separately? and you only created one library,  
but I am not sure how or where to do this since it needs to combine  
files from the different folders? Or did you copy all the .cpp files  
into a single folder first? And I am confused about the "ipopt- 
include-dir" - where is this? It looks to be like all the .h and .hpp  
files are in the same folder as the .cpp files, which are divided  
among the 6 folders (and their sub-folders) I've listed.

So I am stuck on step 3. I think I am ready to build the IPOPT files  
but I am a bit confused.

Thanks,

Bruce
