[Help-glpk] Re: GLPK Complilink Visual Studio C++ 2008

[Nigel Galloway]

There are three possibilities to compile GLPK using Visual Studio. GLPK is designed as a library of routines which can be used in another program to solve systems of linear inequalities. These programs written by you produce the .exe.

 

The glpk examples directory contains a number of such programs. Of particular intrest maybe glpsol.c. This produces an executable which solves models written in mathprog (see gmpl.pdf in the documentation).

 

There are two ways to compile this:

 

1)    Start a project as an Application and compile all the GLPK source code and glpsol.c into the project.

 

2)   Start an empty project as a LIB and compile all the GLPK source code. Then start a second project as an Application with just the glpsol.c source code and a reference to glpk.h from GLPK and glpk.lib produced above (you might want to make this project dependant on the LIB project). This will produce an executable, say glpsol.exe, which you can use as in the first possibility. The advantage is that you can use the library with other C++ programs from the examples directory (Start new projects as applicitions) and possibly your own code when required.

 

The final possibility is to compile it as a DLL. This is required when you want to access the GLPK library from outside of VisaulC++.  See example t1.cs for C# in the examples library or numerous examples in Java in Xyperon's java distribution. 

 

I think starting with option 2 is what you need.

Looking at your log file I think you have produced an MFC DLL. This is a microsoft specific thing, so can not be used outside Visual Studio, for say Java. You could use it with VisualC#. It is small because it only contains the application entry point and cross references to a LIB file for the code. So you will also need the LIB file. You would only need this if you want to work within Visual Studio and be able to control the run time loading of GLPK library code.

 

The DLL in option 3 can be built in Visual Studio as a Win32 application project by changing Configuration Properties -> General -> Configuration Type to Dynamic Library (.dll).

before compiling it.

Hi Nigel,

I am trying to compile the glpk here on VS C++ 2088, the sourceforge user Xpyron told me that you know it.

Could you just explain what is going on here? I put the files on Source Files folder, I set it as a DLL project and I included the path of include folder whre we can find
the glpk.h and others .h files.

It was compiled. If I change the project configuration to lib it compiles too, but .exe not, ok I know I need an entry point (main class).

My question is, after compiling on VS C++ 2008 the dll file has only 13kb and if I use the make file that comes with GLPK to build it the file size will be 803kb.

Something is wrong here. Please check my log file.

I will change the GLPK for university class.

Thanks
