This directory contains batch files and other stuff which you can use to build GLPK for 32-bit Windows with the native C/C++ compilers. Before running the batch file do the following: 1. Make sure that you have installed the compiler you are going to use to build GLPK. 2. Look into corresponding batch file (just right-click it and choose 'Edit' in the popup menu; DO NOT choose 'Open'). Make sure that HOME variable specifies correct path to the compiler directory; if not, make necessary changes. To run the batch file just double-click it and wait a bit while the Make utility does its job. The message 'OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOUND' in the MS-DOS window means that all is OK. If you do not see it, something is wrong. Once GLPK has been successfully built, there must appear two files in this directory: glpk.lib, which is the GLPK object library, and glpsol.exe, which is the stand-alone GLPK LP/MIP solver.
