RE: [Help-glpk] Re: GLPK MingW build files and PyGLPK

[D'Agostino, Larry - TX]

MinGW is a fork of Cygwin so I'm guessing they both could be used to compile 
GLPK into GUSEK.

Yet there is some functionality not inherent in Cygwin.  I don't understand the 
difference but you may Luiz.

Hi, Andrew.

Really, I'm using only glpsol executable from GLPK package. I've adopted 
MinGW
because SciTE uses it, and if I (or someone) need to rebuild Gusek or 
GLPK it was
able to do it in the same way, with the same compiler.

I've never used Cygwin, but I can try, sure. By the way, use xypron 
pre-build files
can be more convenient - and "standardized", if I can say it in this way.

When I've started Gusek, I've found just some not-up-to-date glpk 
binaries on the
web, and decided build it from myself. Today xypron make the bins 
quickly, just
after GLPK releases. Use these bins looks like a natural move.

Thanks!
Luiz
