glpk: GNU Linear Programming Kit#
Description#
The GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) package is intended for solving large-scale linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), and other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and organized in the form of a callable library.
GLPK supports the GNU MathProg modelling language, which is a subset of the AMPL language.
The GLPK package includes the following main components:
primal and dual simplex methods
primal-dual interior-point method
branch-and-cut method
translator for GNU MathProg
application program interface (API)
stand-alone LP/MIP solver
License#
The GLPK package is GPL version 3.

Special Update/Build Instructions#
configure
doesn’t support specifying the location of the GMP library to use; only--with-gmp[=yes]
or--with-gmp=no
are valid options. (So we *have to* add Sage’s include and library directories toCPPFLAGS
andLDFLAGS
, respectively.)Do we need the
--disable-static
? The stand-alone solver presumably runs faster when built with a static library; also other (stand-alone) programs using it would. (Instead, we should perhaps use--enable-static --enable-shared
to go safe.)
