[Coin-symphony] Building in Eclipse

[Ted Ralphs]

Hi Mike,

What version of SYMPHONY are you using? Depending on the answer, the 
compilation directions from the Dimacs workshop are probably obsolete. 
If you are using SVN, I would suggest checking out SYMPHONY 5.1 
according to the instructions at

projects.coin-or.org/SYMPHONY

As for using SYMPHONY within Eclipse, you'll have to give a bit more 
detail for me to advise you. Are you building an application? Or 
modifying SYMPHONY itself? Or just linking to the callable library? At 
any rate, if you run the configure script once outside Eclipse, you 
should just be able to do a "make install" within Eclipse anytime you do 
an SVN update or modify the code. The make command will automatically 
reconfigure if needed once the configure script has been run once. If 
you give some more details, I can provide further help.

Cheers,

Ted
