JavaCbc
Work in progress... version 0.1
Download the files
The javacbc archive is located here.
Installation instruction
These instructions assume you have installed Cbc in $HOME/coin-cbc, if not, you will have to manually alter some files. Similarly, Java 6 is assumed to be installed in (or have that symlink) /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun.
- If you haven't already, download and install Cbc 2.4 in $HOME/coin-cbc. Installation instructions can be found on the Cbc homepage. In the end, your coin-cbc folder should contain (among others) a bin, include and lib directory.
- Download javacbc.tar.gz and move it inside $HOME/coin-cbc.
- Extract the archive using tar xf javacbc.tar.gz, it will create a javacbc directory.
- Go to the javacbc directory and edit the Makefile to match the path to the Cbc folder, and to your Java folder.
- Open a terminal inside the javacbc folder, and run make. This will generate the wrapper files and classes, and compile a small Java test app named javacbc_test. In order for the app to run properly, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environement variable must contain the directory where the library is located, a small helper script is given (runJavaCbc.sh) that will set it and then run the test app.
Requirements
- Cbc (2.4) and all its requirements (You may compile Cbc using Lapack, Blas and glpk. Currently, compiling with ASL causes javacbc to not work.)
- Sun Java 6 SDK
- Swig
