I have added the procedures provided by Noli
Sicad for compiling the COIN-OR CBC application with GLPK
MathProg to the GLPK Wikibook under the section "
GLPK/Mixing GLPK with other solver packages" in the GLPK
WikiBook. The main issue with getting CBC working with MathProg is
that GLPK has been upgraded from 4.45 to 4.47 for the 2.8 version
and the main CBC code hasn't yet been updated to reflect the
different layout of 4.47 src files. If you use the 2.7 stable
version of CBC, rather than the latest 2.8 version, it all works
very simply. I also discovered that Noli lives in Melbourne (I am
only a short train ride away), and considering the global reach of
the GLPK forums, find that quite weird.
Also, I have recently adopted Sublime Text 2 as my new
editor of choice and have developed a simple syntax highlighting
package for working with GNU MathProg. The editor is NOT open
source, but not expensive and runs natively on OSX, Linux and
Windows and the one user license covers all your machines. If you
need a multi-platform powerful text editor that runs on different
platforms then I would recommend this product. This single editor
has replaced notepad++ on Windows, and Textmate on OSX and gedit
on Linux (never really found an editor I loved on Linux and VIM
and Emacs are definitely NOT on my favorite list). I am not
associated with this product in any way, as I only became aware of
it when Pragmatic recently released a screencast on using the
editor, but I am impressed.
I did consider adding the code for the MathProg
package for the Sublime editor to the WikiBook, but it is
large and may be of little general interest. Just drop me an email
and I will send it to you if you want to try it out.
