Hi everybody,

I want to use the CPLEX 12.5 in a C++ project with Eclipse Juno CDT in Windows 7 with and MingGW as compiler.

How to Set Up? Is there a tutorial for that? Because I does not found.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

MinGW is not officially supported for CPLEX, so you are on your own here.
However, if I remember correctly then some people got that working (search this Forum).
In the CPLEX distribution there is a file called c_cpp.html. This file describes how to setup Visual Studio for CPLEX. It lists the include/library paths, preprocessor defines, libraries, etc. you should use for compiling/linking an application that uses CPLEX. It should be easy to enter the same configuration into eclipse.

It is quite easy to use the C callable library in C++ with MinGW and Eclipse. You only have to take care about 32 bit / 64 bit (both work, but you need the correct versions of MinGW/Cplex). Do not hesitate to ask further questions, if you get into trouble.

Concerning Concert (C++ API), I just can say one thing: forget it. The mangling schemes differ. As long as IBM does not provide a version of Concert that is compiled with MinGW, you won't be able to use it. But nevermind: Compared to the C API, concert is terribly slow, at least for some operations.

Best regards,

I did use GLPK library, but necessite now to use a more powerful tool as CPLEX. I will study also that possibility.

You can also use GLPK to export an LP-file and use the interactive optimizer to solve the file.
