The program module in this subdirectory is a crude implementation of CPLEX-like interface to GLPK API. It consists of two files: cplex.c and cplex.h.
NOTE that this module is NOT a clean room implementation of the CPLEX callable library. It only implements a CPLEX-like interface to the GLPK API routines, and its main purpose is to provide possibility to build and run applications which normally use the CPLEX callable library.
This module approximately corresponds to CPLEX 9.0.
Currently this module can be used as a linear programming solver for Concorde, the state-of-the-art computer code for solving the symmetric traveling salesman problem (TSP) developed by David Applegate, Robert Bixby, Vasek Chvatal, and William Cook. For details about Concorde see its web page at http://www.tsp.gatech.edu/concorde.html.
To build Concorde along with GLPK you need to do the following:
1. Configure, build, and install GLPK.
2. Download the Concorde tarball co031219.tgz (version Dec 19, 2003), unpack and unarchive it.
3. Copy files cplex.h and cplex.c to subdirectory concorde/LP/.
4. Create file named lpglpk.c in subdirectory concorde/LP/. This file must contain the following two lines:
#include "cplex.c" #include "lpcplex8.c"
5. Configure Concorde in usual way (./configure) and then build it with the following command:
make CPPFLAGS=-I. LPSOLVER_INTERFACE=lpglpk.c LPSOLVER_LIB=-lglpk
The Concorde executable can be found in subdirectory concorde/TSP/.
Please note that currently this GLPK interface module does not support some important features (namely, CPXgetijdiv, CPXmdleave, CPXpivotin, CPXpivotout, and CPXstrongbranch), so large (more than 1000 nodes) TSP instances cannot be solved in a reasonable time, and some instances may cause abnormal termination of Concorde (if CPXgetijdiv is called).
