[Coin-ipopt] Mac OS X Compilation Issue

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Jeremy,

I don't have access to a Mac to reproduce the problem you mentioned. 
Could you please submit a ticket at the Ipopt trac page?

The thing is that we are using the GNU tool libtool which is a wrapper for 
compiler, archiver, and linker commands.  It is meant to make portability 
easier, and often does a good job.  However, it is also a little buggy, 
and you might have just found a bug in libtool.  What I have done in the 
past is to apply patches to the libtool script (that is generated when 
configure runs) for bugs related to Windows compiles.  There is still not 
a new release of libtool, but there is a intermediate release which might 
have fixed a number of problems (but might have introduced new ones :). 
I'm hesitant to switch over to this new version, since it will impact many 
other COIN projects as well.

In any case, it would be nice if you could submit a ticket at the Ipopt 
Trac pages, and I will try to look at this with a colleage.

Regards,

Andreas
