General Configuration and Installation Instructions for COIN projects
These webpages are intended to give users as well as developers of COIN projects information on how to use and modify the COIN code.
Information for users
The very short version of the download and installation instructions for UNIX-like system (including Linux and Cygwin) is this:
- Get the code via subversion using the following command (where Pkg needs to be replaced by the name of the COIN package you want to install, e.g., Cbc)
svn co https://www.coin-or.org/svn/Pkg/trunk coin-Pkg
- Go into the downloaded directory and run the configuration script
cd coin-Pkg; ./configure
Make sure the last line of output says that the configuration was successful. - Compile the code
make
- Test the compiled code
make test
- Install the generated libraries, executables, and header files
make install
This will create subdirectories bin, lib, and include in the download directory with the product of the compilation.
That might work in most cases, but it is probably a good idea to read the information on the home page for the desired COIN package, and to learn more using the links below.
Information for project managers
The information behind the links below is mostly intended for people working on COIN projects, i.e., project managers as well as contributors.
