NAME

       libglpk-java - GNU Linear Programming Kit Java Binding

DESCRIPTION

       The  GNU  Linear  Programming  Kit (GLPK) package supplies a solver for large scale linear
       programming (LP) and mixed integer programming (MIP).   The  GLPK  project  is  hosted  at
       http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk.

       It has two mailing lists:
       - help-glpk@gnu.org and
       - bug-glpk@gnu.org.

       To subscribe to one of these lists, please, send an empty mail with a Subject: header line
       of just "subscribe" to the list.

       GLPK provides a library written in C and a standalone solver.  The source code provided at
       ftp://gnu.ftp.org/gnu/glpk/   contains   the   documentation   of   the  library  in  file
       doc/glpk.pdf.

       The Java platform provides the Java Native Interface (JNI) to integrate non-Java  language
       libraries into Java applications.

       Project  GLPK  for  Java  delivers  a  Java Binding for GLPK. It is hosted at http://glpk-
       java.sourceforge.net/.

       To report problems and suggestions concerning GLPK for Java, please, send an email to  the
       author at xypron.glpk@gmx.de.

ARCHITECTURE

       A GLPK for Java application will consist of the following
       - the GLPK library
       - the GLPK for Java JNI library
       - the GLPK for Java class library
       - the application code.

GLPK LIBRARY

       The GLPK library can be compiled from source code. Follow the instructions in file INSTALL
       provided in the source distribution. Precompiled packages  are  available  in  many  Linux
       distributions.

       The usual installation path for the library is /usr/local/lib/libglpk.so.  The library has
       to be in the search path for binaries.

GLPK FOR JAVA JNI LIBRARY

       The GLPK for Java JNI library can be compiled from source code. Follow the instructions in
       file INSTALL provided in the source distribution.

       The  usual  installation  path for the library is /usr/local/lib/jni/libglpk-java.so.  The
       library has to be in  the  search  path  for  binaries.  Specify  the  library  path  upon
       invocation of the application, e.g.
       java -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib/jni

GLPK FOR JAVA CLASS LIBRARY

       The  source  code  to  compile the GLPK for Java class library is provided at http://glpk-
       java.sourceforge.net.

       The GLPK for Java class library can be compiled from source code. Follow the  instructions
       in  file INSTALL provided in the source distribution.  The usual installation path for the
       library is /usr/local/share/java/glpk-java.jar.

       The library has to be in the CLASSPATH. Specify  the  classpath  upon  invocation  of  the
       application, e.g.
       java -classpath /usr/local/share/java/glpk-java.jar;.
