    41  * '''Linux''': On Debian, Cbc has recently become available in the package {{{coinor-cbc}}} and can be installed with apt. On Fedora, Cbc is available in the package {{{coin-or-Cbc}}}. Pre-compiled binaries are also available as part of the [http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/CoinAll  COIN-OR Optimization Suite].
     41 * '''Linux''': On Debian/Ubuntu, Cbc is available in the package {{{coinor-cbc}}} and can be installed with apt. On Fedora, Cbc is available in the package {{{coin-or-Cbc}}}. Pre-compiled binaries are also available as part of the [http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/CoinAll  COIN-OR Optimization Suite].
    4242 * '''Windows''': The easiest way to get Cbc on Windows is to download the Windows installer for the [http://www.coin-or.org/download/binary/CoinAll  COIN Optimization Suite], which provides Visual Studio compatible libraries and binaries. Binary archives are also available for other Windows platforms, such as MinGW and CYGWIN.
    4343 * '''OS X''': The easiest way to get Cbc on OSX is through Homebrew (recipe should be available soon). When the recipe is ready, it will be installable with {{{brew install cbc}}}.
    44 
     44 * AMPL also provides stand-alone provides [http://ampl.com/products/solvers/open-source/#cbc Cbc executables] that can be used with (or without) AMPL.
     45 * The [http://www.gams.com GAMS] distribution includes Cbc.
    4546Due to license incompatibilities, pre-compiled binaries lack some functionality. If binaries are not available for your platform for the latest version and you would like to request them to be built and posted, feel free to let us know on the mailing list.

    7980For Microsoft Visual C++ users, there are project files for version 10 available in the MSVisualStudio directory. First, obtain the source code using either a Windows subversion client (see the [http://www.coin-or.org/faqs.html#q4 COIN-OR FAQ]) or download a snapshot. In MSVC++ Version 10, open the solution file (this should be converted to whatever version of MSVC+ you are using) and build the Cbc project. The code should build out of the box with default settings.
    8081
    81 It is also possible to build Cbc with the Visual Studio compiler from the command line using the procedure for Unix-like environments, using the Msys2 shell or CYGWIN. This is the recommended and best-supported way of building Cbc in Windows.
     82It is also possible to build Cbc with the Visual Studio compiler from the command line using the procedure for Unix-like environments, using the Msys2 shell or CYGWIN. This is the recommended and best-supported way of building Cbc in Windows from source.

     98== {{{Doxygen}}} Documentation ==
     99
     100If you have {{{Doxygen}}} available, you can build the html documentation by typing
     101
     102 {{{make doxydoc}}}
     103
     104in the source directory after building with the autotools in any *nix environment.
     105After making the documentation, open the file {{{doxydoc/html/index.html}}} with a browser.
     106Note that this creates the documentation for the entire {{{Cbc}}}
     107package (including dependencies). If you prefer to generate the documentation only for a subset
     108of these projects, you can edit the file {{{doxydoc/doxygen.conf}}} to exclude directories
     109(using the {{{EXCLUDE}}} variable, for example).
     110
     111If {{{Doxygen}}} is not available, you can use the link to the {{{Cbc}}} html documentation listed above.

    372 == !Background/Download ==
    373 
    374 Cbc is written in C++ and is released as open source code under the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0 Eclipse Public License (EPL)].  It is available from the [http://www.coin-or.org/ COIN-OR initiative].  The code has been written by primarily by John J. Forrest.
    375 
    376 You can obtain the Cbc source code either via subversion or in form of nightly generated tarballs.  The recommended method is to use subversion because it makes it easier to obtain updates. The following commands may be used to obtain and build Cbc from the source code using subversion:
    377  1. {{{svn co https://projects.coin-or.org/svn/Cbc/stable/2.9 coin-Cbc}}}
    378  1. {{{cd coin-Cbc}}}
    379  1. {{{./configure -C}}}
    380  1. {{{make}}}
    381  1. {{{make test}}}
    382  1. {{{make install}}}
    383 
    384 Step 1 issues the subversion command to obtain the source code. One should check page [https://projects.coin-or.org/Cbc/browser/stable] to find out the latest stable version number. Alternatively one can obtain the source code from the [http://www.coin-or.org/download/source/Cbc tarball directory].
    385 
    386 Step 3 runs a configure script that generates the make file.
    387 
    388 Step 4 builds the Cbc library and executable program.
    389 
    390 Step 5 builds and runs the Cbc unit test program.
    391 
    392 Step 6 Installs libraries, executables and header files in directories coin-Cbc/lib, coin-Cbc/bin and coin-Cbc/include.
    393 
    394 The [http://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools/wiki BuildTools] project has additional details on downloading, building, and installing.
    395 
    396 The [http://projects.coin-or.org/CoinBinary Binary] project provides a downloadable binary distribution of Cbc.
    397 AMPL provides [http://ampl.com/products/solvers/open-source/#cbc Cbc executables] that can be used with AMPL.
    398 The [http://www.gams.com GAMS] distribution includes Cbc.
    399 
    400 Cbc is available in [http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=coinor-cbc Debian] and [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/coinor-cbc Ubuntu].

    406 If you have {{{Doxygen}}} available, you can build the html documentation by typing

    411 {{{coin-Cbc}}}. Then open the file {{{coin-Cbc/doxydoc/html/index.html}}} with a browser.
    412 Note that this creates the documentation for the {{{Cbc}}}
    413 package. If you
    414 prefer to generate the documentation only for a subset
    415 of these projects, you can edit the file {{{coin-Cbc/doxydoc/doxygen.conf}}} to exclude directories
    416 (using the {{{EXCLUDE}}} variable, for example).
