# Clp-src

[![Package][package-img]][package-url] [![Documentation][documentation-img]][documentation-url] [![License][license-img]][license-url]

`Clp-src` crate is a *-src crate. This links [Clp] libraries to executable build by cargo, but does not provide Rust bindings. [Clp] is built with [CoinUtils] ([CoinUtils-src]), [Osi] ([Osi-src])(Optional).

By this package, you don't need to worry about installing Clp in the system, and it's a package for **multi-platforms**.

Clp (Coin-or linear programming) is an open-source linear programming solver. It is primarily meant to be used as a callable library, but a basic, stand-alone executable version is also available.

## Usage

1. add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:

    ```toml
    [dependencies]
    clp-src = "\*"
    ```

2. add the following to your `lib.rs`:

    ```toml
    extern crate clp_src;
    ```

This package does not provide bindings. Please use [coincbc-sys], [coinclp-sys] to use Cbc, Clp, e.g.

```toml
[dependencies]
coinclp-sys = { version = "\*" }
```

## Configuration

### Features

The following Cargo features are supported:

* `default` to `osiclp` and `clpsolver` feature;
* `osiclp` to build with Osi supported;
* `clpsolver` to build `ClpSolver` lib and crate the api for `Rust`. If you do not use `Clp` directly, you can disable this feature to reduce the build time;

### Environment

The package build from the source and link statically by default. It also provide the following environment variables to allow users to link to system library customly:

* `CARGO_COINUTILS_STATIC` to link to CoinUtils statically;
* `CARGO_COINUTILS_SYSTEM` to link to CoinUtils system library;
* `CARGO_OSI_STATIC` to link to Osi statically if `with_osi` feature is enabled;
* `CARGO_OSI_SYSTEM` to link to Osi system library if `with_osi` feature is enabled;
* `CARGO_CLP_STATIC` to link to Clp statically;
* `CARGO_CLP_SYSTEM` to link to Clp system library;

Set the environment variable to `1` to enable the feature. For example, to link to system library dynamically, set `CARGO_${LIB_NAME}_SYSTEM` to `1`; to link to system library statically, set both `CARGO_${LIB_NAME}_SYSTEM` and `CARGO_${LIB_NAME}_STATIC` to `1`.

## Windows and vcpkg

On Windows, if `${LIB_NAME}_SYSTEM` is set to `1`, `clp-src` will use
[vcpkg] to find Clp. Before building, you must have the correct Clp
installed for your target triplet and kind of linking. For instance,
to link dynamically for the `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` toolchain, install
 `clp` for the `x64-windows` triplet:

```sh
vcpkg install clp --triplet x64-windows
```

To link Clp statically, install `clp` for the `x64-windows-static-md` triplet:

```sh
vcpkg install clp --triplet x64-windows-static-md
```

To link Clp and C Runtime (CRT) statically, install `clp` for the `x64-windows-static` triplet:

```sh
vcpkg install clp --triplet x64-windows-static
```

and build with `+crt-static` option

```sh
RUSTFLAGS='-C target-feature=+crt-static' cargo build --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
```

Please see the ["Static and dynamic C runtimes" in The Rust reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/linkage.html#static-and-dynamic-c-runtimes) for detail.

## Cross Compilation

you can compile it for the other target by providing the `--target` option to
`cargo build`.
