[Ipopt] Ipopt + MA27 compiled for Visual Studio 2008

[scanpat at free.fr]

Hi

I send you this mail because I did not identify any independent technical solution allowing me to reach my goal.

Here's my goal : I want to use IPOPT compiled with MA27 as a DLL used in Miscrosoft Visual Studio 2008.

Unfortunately this IPOPT version (with MA27) is not available in the binary repository (http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/Ipopt/)

Since I do not have Intel Fortran compiler , I tried to recompile the sources IPOPT MA27 + with MinGW / Msys . This has been long and arduous but thanks to the help of some contributors IPOPT, I managed to achieve my goal (https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt/ticket/227). BUT I quickly realized that the DLL compiled via MinGW were not compatible with Visual Studio 2008 (.lib).

Therefore, I have no choice : I have to use a version of IPOPT DLL compiled with Visual Studio 2008.

As I do not have Intel Fortran and Intel suite ( MKL ) compiler, I can not make this compilation myself.

My last chance is to ask to this mailing list if someone can compile IPOPT with MA27 and send it by email (win32_x86)

Thank you.
