Hi Heinrich,
I recently updated GLPK for Java to version 4.57 and I'd like to share some
considerations I had for the next versions.
First, in my Windows application, I don't install GLPK for Java in the
system but instead I link directly to the .dll libraries provided in the
link you sent. When I try to execute my project, I get an unsatisfied link
error ("Can't find dependent libraries"), which enforces me to load the
GLPK library in my application using the following command:
System.loadLibrary("glpk_4_57");
This line must be changed at each new GLPK version. On the other hand, in
my Linux application, I don't need to load this library: it seems that the
.so management is more "clever" on Linux and manages to automatically link
to the right dependent library.
My suggestion for the next GLPK for Java releases is to add this library
loading, if possible, just before the glpk_4_57_java library loading in
glpk.i. Or did I miss some explanation why it hasn't been done until now?
Finally, is there some reason why the Linux libraries (.so) are not
provided in any of the releases of GLPK or GLPK for Java? I don't mind
compiling the libraries when I have to update GLPK, but then I'd like to
understand why the libraries are given for Windows and not for Linux.
Regards,
*Sylvain Fournier*
