Any solver with an Osi-interface can be used together with FLOPC++.
In the sample models, Cbc, is used. To compile these samples the 
following components of COIN must be installed first:
   Osi, OsiClp, Clp, OsiCbc, Cbc, Coin and Cgl
Making OsiCbc should suffice to make the rest of the dependencies as well.

The two makefiles (flopc/Makefile - to build the libraries;
and flopc/Samples/Makefile - to build the samples) assumes that
the flopc directory is a subdirectory of COIN. If this is not the
case the first line of each makefile must be modified to reflect 
the location of COIN.
 
To build the library, simply type make in the flopc/ directory.

To compile the samples/(unittests), type make in the flopc/Samples
directory. To execute all the samples type runall. The result should
ideally be:

Test aircraft passed.
Test transport passed.
Test ampl passed.
Test bid passed.
Test magic passed.
Test multiproduct passed.
Test tap passed.
Test coex passed.
Test coexx passed.
Test cross passed.
Test xbsl passed.
Test cuttingstock passed.
Test gapmin passed.
Test stochbenders passed.
Test mine passed.
Test train passed.

NOTE 1: bid might fail when using the Cbc solver. When using
osl bid should pass. If you have osl (and OsiOsl) available change 
"OsiCbc" to "OsiOsl" in bid.cpp and uncomment the fifth line in
flopc/Samples/Makefile

NOTE 2: If you experience linking errors of the form:
   /lib/COIN/lib/libCoin.so: undefined reference to `glp_mpl_get_row_kind'
   /lib/COIN/lib/libCoin.so: undefined reference to `glp_mpl_get_row_name'
   /lib/COIN/lib/libCoin.so: undefined reference to `glp_mpl_get_col_name'
you need to add -lglpk to the makefile. If you experience errors
regarding gzip or bzip2, you need to add -lz and -lbz2 to the
makefile.
