[Coin-ipopt] MUMPS on MinGW?

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi John,

I have never tried to compile MUMPS under MinGW, mainly because I didn't 
have a Fortran 90 compiler for Windows (someone recently told me that 
there is now a gfortran version for MinGW, which is I guess what you are 
using).

There is a mailing list for MUMPS, where the developers usually very 
quickly help out.  I assume that they are also quite interested to have 
MUMPS working on MinGW, so you might want to give it a try to contact them 
that way.  There is a link to a "MUMPS Users' mailing list" on the MUMPS 
website, http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/.

As for BLAS, you could just download the BLAS sources from netlib and 
compile them before compiling MUMPS.  Even better, you could try to 
install the optimized Atlas implementation of BLAS 
(http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/) which probably will give you much 
better performance than the netlib BLAS for large problems.

If you find out how to compile Ipopt with MUMPS on MinGW, it would be 
great if you could write down your experience somewhere on the Ipopt wiki 
page, e.g., at the "Hints and Tricks" page 
https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt/wiki/HintsAndTricks

Thanks,

Andreas
