[Coin-ipopt] Compiling Ipopt ( and ThirdParty) on Spark SUN Solaris

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Benoit,

> (http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/). Graham

You won't need the autotools to compile the code (the autotools are only 
required if you change the Ipopt makefiles, and there shouldn't be any 
need for that, unless you want to become a developer of Ipopt... ;).

As Graham wrote, the GNU fortran compiler g77 (or gfortran, how it is 
called in the GCC 4.* versions) is free.  However, I'm not sure if you can 
use the SUN C and C++ compilers to compile C/C++ code, and then link it 
with Fortran code that has been compiled with g77/gfortran.  This might be 
possible, but it might require some tweaking.

Alternatively, you could use the GNU C and C++ compilers (gcc and g++) 
also for compiling the rest of the Ipopt code, which are also free and 
work together with g77/gfortran (as long as all compilers are from the 
same version of GCC).

You can specify the names of compilers in the configure command line by 
setting F77=gfortran .... etc.

I hope this helps

Andreas
