Re: [Help-glpk] Patch for GLPK 4.35 to support SWIG

[Kelly Westbrooks]

Hello,

When I generate a java interface for GLPK, I typically do something like this:

mkdir -p java/org/gnu/glpk
swig -java -package org.gnu.glpk -o src/glpk_wrap.c -outdir java/org/gnu/glpk 
glpk.i

so as not to clutter up the root of the source tree. Then, i'll jar up the 
contents of the "java" directory into glpk.jar, and use my IDE (XCode) to 
compile the GLPK sources along with the generated "src/glpk_wrap.c" into a 
shared library (obviously, in order to make the compile work, the code should 
be linked against the jvm and contain jni.h and jni_md.h in the includes path).

I should note that SWIG doesn't generate a particularly "pretty" java interface 
for GLPK -- but it does generate an interface that works. I have written my own 
java adapter classes that wrap the java code that SWIG generates to make it 
much more programmer-friendly. I can share them if anyone is interested.
