[Symphony] Configuring Symphony on Visual Studio 10

[Ted Ralphs]

I just did a fresh checkout and build from scratch. The problem is that the
install path is set wrong in the properties of libOsiCommonTest.lib. I'm
not sure how that was missed. The "missing" library is built but not found
for linking because of the incorrect path.

I could not replicate the problem with not finding libSymphony.lib.
Sometimes, VisualStudio builds things in parallel and then tries to link to
something that hasn't been built yet. If you rebuild, that error should go
away. I suspect all of this is fixed in later version of SYMPHONY. I am
trying with 5.4.4 now and I would recommend switching to that one in any
case.

With all of that said, the failure due to the incorrect path is only for
linking the unit test, not SYMPHONY itself. If you build just the
"symphony" project and not the whole solution, you should get a SYMPHONY
executable installed without problems (with the caveat that you may have to
"rebuild" once if you get an error).

Cheers,

Ted
