How to Set up Cplex Dev Environment under Linux

How to Set up Cplex Dev Environment under Linux

1. Download the cplex binary to local
2. Execute (root privilege recommended)

Next, refer to INSTALL_DIR/cplex/examples/x86_sles10_4.1/static_pic/Makefile. In that file, you can see the following link flags:

CCLNFLAGS = -L$(CPLEXLIBDIR) -lilocplex -lcplex -L$(CONCERTLIBDIR) -lconcert -m32 -lm -pthread
CLNFLAGS = -L$(CPLEXLIBDIR) -lcplex -m32 -lm -pthread
JAVA = java -Djava.library.path=$(CPLEXDIR)/bin

So you can set up environment variables with the same name and introduce these link flags into your own Makefile.

Perhaps you need a wiser solution, then make a soft link for all the fils under INSTALL_DIR/opl/include and ./lib. Now you only need to add "-lilocplex -lcplex -lconcert -m32 -lm -pthread" in your Makefile. Pay a little more attention to libcplex.so, which is not included in the two directories above. A easy solution is to make a soft link as "libcplex.so" for opl/bin/x86_sles10_4.1/libcplex124.so

As there are many different versions, directory names above may be a little different.
