[Ipopt] Compiling Test Program on Visual Studio

[Stefan Vigerske]

Hi,

Seem to be some dependency in the Intel Fortran libraries.
Did you add libifcoremt.lib (and maybe also libmmt.lib) explicitly to 
the linker flags?
What about you do a make test in cygwin and see which flags are used to 
build hs071_cpp.exe? Then you try to reproduce this under the Visual 
Studio environment.

Also Kipp Martin put a binary distribution of OS under
http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/OS/VisualStudio-OS.zip
It uses a Mumps library that was build with Intel Fortran Compiler and 
links it with a MS compiler build Ipopt library under Visual Studio, so 
a similar setting as you have. Then all this is linked into OS 
exectuables, I guess. I have not had a look at it, but it could be helpful.

Best,
Stefan
