Hi Heinrich,

Thank you for your efforts.

I'd like just to know why MSVC developers didn't provide a stdcall
version of the C lib.

Done. Please see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/noumenon/files/tmp/
(Note that this is *not* an official release.)

To avoid defining some macros (i.e. CDECL) on compiling glpk on a
platform other than GNU/Linux and MS Windows I made the changes in the
following way:

#ifndef __WOE__
int foo(...
#else
int __cdecl foo(...
#endif

It is always possible to define __cdecl as an empty token sequence, so
there should be no problem I hope.

Please check the package with VC10. (I've got only VC9.)


Best regards,

Andrew Makhorin
