Description (last modified by )
CBC is a Free ( though not GPL-compatible ) Linear Program and Mixed Integer Program Solver from the COIN-OR suite.
Even though it is not Free and will have to remain an optional package, COIN-OR has performances way above GLPK which is to be used by default in SAGE ( see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6502 and http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/9da47e06bcdfc49f )
This SPKG contains the last version of CBC and a Cython class to make it available through numerical.mip when installed.
The SPKG can be found at this address : http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Nathann.Cohen/cbc-2.3.spkg
I hope you will like it ! ;-)

It comes from the fact that I stupidly forgot to add a "cd .." somewhere... I just updated the spkg, it should work a bit better now ;-)

This installs fine on an amd64 ubuntu 9.04 machine and passes sage -testall.
Unless there are further tests to run, I give this a positive review as an optional package.
comment:6 Changed 12 years ago by
This spkg creates a class numerical.MIPCoin, but it is an extension to numerical.MIP ( see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6502 ), and I think the reviewing process of these two files should go in paralell ;-)
( And I also hope there will be nothing to change :-) )

- Type changed from defect to enhancement
I just updated the SPKG, which now raises exceptions when the computations are wrong for some reason, and added some bugfixes ;-)

The only thing that can be checked on this SPKG for the moment is the installation process. Most of the tests will occur during the reviewing of #6502 .
It seems you had some problems in #6502 applying the patch I posted, and I thought it may be because I was working on an old version of SAGE. If you are available to review #6502 I would be glad to install a new one and create a new patch for this version, containing all the stuff related to the class mip. It will take some time though, as I have to compile SAGE ( there is no binary version for my distribution ). Do you know how I could download the sources Sage 4.1.1.rc0 ?
As soon as it will be compiled, you will have the new patch ! ;-)
Thank you !

I just gave #6502 a positive review. Does that mean this can change to positive as well?
comment:12 Changed 11 years ago by
I just updated the spkg to fix something important that I did not notice because I always worked on Integer programs. I also added an Exception in the case where the user tries to solve() a program without having defined its objective function, but that is all :-)

This cbc-2.3.spkg package installs fine for 4.1.1.a1 on an amd64 ubuntu 9.04 machine and passes sage -testall, except for the known failures (abstract_method.py and lazy_attribute.py).
Nathann, can you tell me which existing Sage python or cython files (if any) your package modifies? Does it modify any files in another spkg (other than cbc, I mean)?
comment:14 Changed 11 years ago by
This spkg just install all the Cbc-related librarires with a regular /configure && make && make install, then installs the class sage.numerical.mipCoin with a setup.py script ( which, if I make no mistake, creates no file except in the build/directory.
In the end, I'd say this package does not touch a hair of any pre-existing file in Sage ! ;-)

Okay, thanks.
Changing this to "positive review" as an optional package.

Merged in optional packages repository. See this page
http://www.sagemath.org/packages/optional/
and CBC is available at
http://www.sagemath.org/packages/optional/cbc-2.3.spkg
ON an amd64 ubuntu 9.04 machine, I got an error in installationof cbc. Here is the tail:
Any idea what the problem is?
