[Help-glpk] GLPK compilation problem with Borland 5

[Tomas Simovic]

Hello

I am afraid I have to bother you with a stupid question. My ultimate
goal is to be able to compile the example file sample.c. To make that
work on my computer, I understood from some instructions I found that
I need to compile glpk first on my computer (Windows XP, Borland 5
compiler).

I downloaded glpk 4.29 from one of the mirrors and tried to compile it
by running the included Build_GLPK_with_BC5.bat file. Here is the
output:

C:\glpk\glpk-4.29\w32>rem Build GLPK with Borland C++ 5.0

C:\glpk\glpk-4.29\w32>rem NOTE: Make sure that HOME variable specifies
correct path.

C:\glpk\glpk-4.29\w32>set HOME=C:\BC5

C:\glpk\glpk-4.29\w32>copy config_BC5 config.h
        1 file(s) copied.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Subsequently I have tried to follow the instructions at
http://glpk.blogspot.com/ with glpk 4.8. No luck again, this is the
output that I got:

I would really appreciate any help you can give me, I am really out of ideas...
Thx A LOT
