You need to do the following:

1. Compile glpk with bc5. Easiest way to do that is using the
makefile w32bc5.mak included in the distribution: enter the
subdirectory (to make it current) where the makefile is placed and
run the command 'make -f w32bc5.mak' either from 'ms-dos prompt'
window or from command-line. This will produce glpk.lib, a static
library containig all glpk routines, in the same subdirectory. To make
sure that all is ok run the command 'make -f w32bc5.mak check'.

2. If you are using ide, specify through 'Edit local options...'
for corresponding project node a path to glpk 'include' directory
and add the static library glpk.lib built on step 1 to that node.
Do not copy anything to bc5 directory.

3. The example given in the reference manual can be found in file
glpk-4.10\examples\sample.c'. Use it to build a test project.

4. Note that glpk is written in C, not in C++. So if you do not
intend write your code in C++, use '.c' extension rather than '.cpp'.
