[Symphony] Symphony on C++ with Eclipse

Sun Dec 2 18:52:07 EST 2012

Hi Hugh,

The problem is that you need to link more than just the SYMPHONY library.
There is a separate library for the OSI interface, as well as libraries for
a number of other dependent COIN projects. However, since you are in Linux,
the fix is easy. The most straightforward way to build your own application
is to just modify one of the files in the <prefix>/SYMPHONY/Examples
directory. There is a Makefile there that will build an executable from any
source file you provide. For example, simply typing "make milp" will build
the main function in milp.c and link it to SYMPHONY. If you put
MySource.cpp in the Examples directory and type "make MySource", it should
build properly. Note, however, that if you are going to use the OSI
interface, you will need to set "USE_OSI_INTERFACE" to TRUE.

To give a little more detail in case you want to build you own makefile,
you can use the automatically generated Makefile in
<prefix>/SYMPHONY/Examples as a template. You will notice that the command
line for linking gets the list of libraries using the "pkg-config" command.
You can get the list of libraries explicitly using this command if you
like. For example, here is the command to get the list of libraries that
must be added when linking:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<prefix>/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs symphony

You can also get a list of additional flags for building:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<prefix>/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --cflags symphony

If you want to use the OSI interface, you need to replace "symphony" with
"osi-sym" in the above command.

Another alternative is that the output of the pkg-config command is also
automatically installed in <prefix>/share/coin/doc/SYMPHONY/sym_addlibs.txt.

This should get you going. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Cheers,

Ted
