[Ipopt] Missing random generator function using Cygwin 64

[Tony Kelman]

Ah, crap.

conftest.cc:75:22: error: ISO C++ forbids casting between pointer-to-function and pointer-to-object [-Werror=pedantic]
   char *p = (char *) rand;
                      ^

Apparently you’ve updated your GCC more recently than I have, and now in 4.8.3 this old-autotools method of checking for the existence of a function is an error, where it used to be a warning. I’m really surprised the grouping of a warning would be changed in a point release like that... the right solution is to update our autotools version, but that’s a big job that we haven’t put enough full-time work into yet. I’ll try to think if there’s a quick short-term fix for this, but in the meantime can you try reverting your GCC version to the previous release through Cygwin’s setup program?

Hi Tony, 

Thanks for your reply!  

I've tried both 32 and 64 bit Cygwin. Both gave me the same error. I'm using IPOPT 3.11 stable version. The config.log is attached.  

Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Ipopt] Missing random generator function using Cygwin 64 Are you using 32 or 64 bit Cygwin? Which version of Ipopt are you trying to 
compile? Can you post Ipopt/config.log?

Hi all, 

I'm trying to install IPOPT on a Windows machine using Cygwin. 

The configure is successful but got an error when running make: 

../../../../Ipopt/src/Common/IpUtils.cpp:178:5: error: #error "don't have 
function for random number generator" 
# error "don't have function for random number generator" 

Can any one help on it? 

Yao
