[Help-glpk] Re: libglpk0: excessive install dependencies

[Xypron]

Hello Andrew, hello Rafael,

I have created
ftp://svn.heinrich-schuchardt.de/glpk/glpk-4.27-dl_r184.tar.gz

This version of glpk-4.27 loads iODBC and MySQL as shared libraries. The 
user is gracefully informed at runtime if the libraries are missing.

This should resolve Debian bug #469732 "libglpk0: excessive install 
dependencies".
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469732

Under MinGW and Cygwin iODBC is replaced by ODBC32.dll.
I have adjusted the Makefiles for VC7, BC5.5, Dev-CPP to compile with 
ODBC support.
I did not check
w32/Build_GLPK_with_VC6_MT_DLL.bat
w32/Makefile_VC6_MT_DLL

Changed files are:
configure
configure.ac
Makefile.in
include/glpmpl.h
include/glpsql.h
include/Makefile.in
src/glpmpl04.c
src/glpmpl05.c
src/glpsql.c
src/Makefile.in
w32/Build_GLPK_with_BC5.bat
w32/Build_GLPK_with_Dev.bat
w32/Build_GLPK_with_VC6.bat
w32/Makefile_BC5
w32/Makefile_Dev
w32/Makefile_VC6
w32/glpk_4_27.def

To view the differences to the 4.27 release, please refer to
http://glpk.dyndns.org/viewvc/svn/glpk/glpk/branches/glpk-4.27-dl/
(revision 184 vs. revision 166)

Best regards

Xypron
