- lp-solve for Debian
- ----------------------
-
- This package supplies lp_solve, a standalone program for solving
- linear programming problems.
-
- The lp_solve sources also build a library (liblpsolve55) which can be called
- from C programs to solve linear programming problems. Header files
- are installed in /usr/include/lpsolve/. See
- /usr/share/doc/liblpsolve55-dev/examples/demo.c.gzfor an example. No shared
- library is provided, since a dynamically linked program would be
- slower than a statically linked program.
-
- Linear programming problems (but not integer linear programming
- problems) can also be solved with the program PCx. PCx is available
- in the Debian package pcx, in non-free/math.
-
- The Debian package is fixed to use libcolamd from the system instead of including
- an own one. If you want to link liblpsolve55.a statically into your project
- you also might need -lcolamd (and therefore libsuitesparse-dev).
