Building With the MSVC++ IDE

• Open the solution file xxx.sln.

• The configuration steps are exactly the same as that described in Section 2.2.3.1. The only difference is that you are using the xxx project instead of the symphony project. Go through the same steps to configure.

• Once you have the proper settings, choose Build xxx.exe from the Build menu. This should successfully build the executable.

• To test the executable, right click on the xxx project, go to the Debug $\backslash$ tab and set the program arguments to -F .. $\backslash$.. $\backslash$sample.xxx. Note that command-line switches are Unix-style.

• Now choose Execute from the build menu and you have a working branch and bound solver.
