Changes to or-tools, binary archives and visual studio 2010.

By -
Hello,

A few news:

Visual studio 2010 will soon be deprecated. Everybody can install the visual studio 2012 express which is free. I really like c++11 loops too much.

As the download part of code.google.com has been deprecated. I have changed the way binary archives and documentation are stored. I have created a view only shared drive account where I will copy the binaries I have built.

The links are accessible from the code.google.com page. Here they are: documentation and binary archives.

I have copied there up to date unix archives for python, java, and .NET. Windows archive will follow soon.

Furthermore, I am introducing new experimental archives for C++ content. I have regrouped all libraries into a single one, copied all include files into a single include directory, and added a new Makefile to compile the C++ examples. Please give it a try. Currently, I have build the linux64 archive, but I will create and debug the mac, and windows archives later.

Finally, everybody can use the commands to create the archives. The makefile target are cc_archive, python_archive, java_archive, and dotnet_archive.

Many thanks

    Bonjour Laurent,

    Say I want to compile the cvrptw.cc example (http://or-tools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/documentation/reference_manual/or-tools/examples/cpp/cvrptw_8cc-source.html), which uses the routing libraries, using the new library. How can I use the makefile.unix (or maketile.cc) to compile it? I always get the error about a missing file in /base/ folder.

    Thanks!

Linking glpk with or-tools on unix

By -
Following the change on SCIP, here is the new procedure to compile and link GLPK with or-tools This currently applies to unix only: First download the latest glpk archive (4.61 at the time of this post). Untar, cd into the glpk directory on linux:   ./configure --prefix=<install_path> --with-pic   make   make install on mac OS X:   ./configure --prefix=<install_path>   make CFLAGS='--mmacosx-version-min=10.8'   make install   then add:   UNIX_GLPK_DIR=<install_path> in or-tools/Makefile.local recompile or-tools:   make clean   make cc test it:   run bin/integer_programming and bin/linear_programming. Both must display glpk runs. I have no easy solution for glpk on windows currently, still investigating.

Changing the way we link with SCIP

By -
As of today, I pushed support for scip 4.0.0 on both unix and windows. In the process, I have changed the way to setup or-tools to include scip at compilation time. on Unix:   untar the scipoptsuite> archive somewhere   cd <path to scipoptsuite-4.0.0>   Mac OS X:  make GMP=false READLINE=false TPI=tny   Linux:  make GMP=false READLINE=false TPI=tny USRCFLAGS=-fPIC USRCXXFLAGS=-fPIC USRCPPFLAGS=-fPIC   in or-tools, edit Makefile.local   add:     UNIX_SCIP_DIR=<path to sciptopsuite-4.0.0>/scip-4.0.0   make clean   make cc   to test it, run:      bin/integer_programming   it should display the scip solver run. on windows:   download the compiled library:     http://scip.zib.de/download.php?fname=scip-4.0.0.win.x86_64.vc14.opt.spx2.lib.zip   download the headers:      http://scip.zib.de/download/release/scipoptheaders-4.0.0.tgz   uncompress, untar everything.   create a directory that will contains what is needed   md scip-4.0.0

Heads up, upcoming incompatibility in the CP/Routing library

By -
Hello all, I will soon push a large incompatible change in the CP and Routing libraries. The change will replace parameters (CP solver parameters, routing model parameters, routing search parameters) from struct to protobuf. This will also hide the C++ command line flags (cp_trace_search, routing_first_solution, ...) and make them redundant for controlling the behavior of the libraries. They are currently kept in the C++ library, but will be dropped out eventually. With this move, all functionalities offered by the C++ command line flags will be available from all languages (provided you implement the command line parsing part). Let's see an example (tsp) Before (in C++):    // Setting first solution heuristic (cheapest addition).    FLAGS_routing_first_solution = "PathCheapestArc";    const Assignment* solution = routing.Solve() ; After (in C++, using the command line flags compatibility) :    RoutingSearchParameters parameters =  BuildSearchParametersFro
