Hi,
I am a beginner in CPLEX. I just want to know how to use CPLEX in MS VC++ 2010. I have tried to run the examples and build new project following the instructions but i failed. I get this error saying :

"1>test.cpp(33): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ilcplex/ilocplex.h': No such file or directory"

Can anyone please help me to fix this problem

Thank you

The CPLEX installation comes with a file c_cpp.html. Please refer to this file to learn how to set up Visual Studio for use with CPLEX.

Hi,
Thank you.
I have tried using c_cpp.html file. I have some problems in this two steps.

Select Preprocessor:
Add IL_STD to the Preprocessor Definitions field. This defines the macro IL_STD which is needed to use the STL.

Select Input and then select Additional Dependencies. Add the files:
cplex124.lib
ilocplex.lib
concert.lib

In both cases i could not add files. So what i did i just type 'IL_STD' after pressing edit and in second case i typed the name of those three files after pressing edit in Additional Dependency field.

finally i got the error message:
1>concert.lib(iloconstraint.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'

Could you please help me to fix this??

It looks like your are using 64bit libraries when compiling for a 32bit machine. Is your machine 32bit or 64bit? In the project settings, did you reference the 32bit or 64bit libraries?

Hi,
My machine is 64 bit. i also followed the following steps as mentioned in c_cpp.html:

Select Linker in the Configuration Properties tree.
Select General and then select Additional Library Directoriess. Add the files:
<CPLEXDIR>\lib\x86_windows_vs2010\stat_mta
<CONCERTDIR>\lib\x86_windows_vs2010\stat_mta

Is there anything I need to do for referencing the 32bit or 64bit libraries?

On a 64bit machine I think you should be using the x64_windows_vs2010 libraries instead of the x86_windows_2010 ones. So you should change the names of the directories for the included libraries.
