Re: [Help-glpk] [Fwd: Makefile for MinGW on Windows 7/8 for 32bit/64bit architectures]

[Nigel Galloway]

The reply I gave to David suggested the following, assuming you have
MinGW and msys installed, perhaps you could indicate which step fails
for you and how.

Unpack glpk_4_55 distribution and open an msys terminal in the top
directory.

# Create suitable Makefiles
./configure

# Build glpk using these Makefiles
make

# Construct a dll
dllwrap --dllname glpk.dll --def w32/glpk_4_55.def src/*.o

# Generate the .lib file
dlltool --def w32/glpk_4_55.def --dllname glpk.dll --output-lib glpk.lib

# Install
copy src/glpk.h, glpk.dll, glpk.lib wherever you want them

# Test
Change directory to wherever you installed glpk.h, glpk.dll, glpk.lib.
Copy glpsol.c and say yacfs.mod from glpk examples.

# Compile glpsol
gcc -I . glpsol.c -o glpsol.exe glpk.lib

# Run glpsol
glpsol --math yacfs.mod
