Windows MinGW Compilation

[handsomePirate]

Hi,

I'm really looking forward to trying minotaur out!

Unfortunately, the build doesn't work for VS 2022 and I'm working on Windows (switching to unix is not an option) so I used MinGW to compile the code. I got further than with VS, but the compilation fails on the following:

I'm building with COMPILER_WARN OFF and my CMake command looks like this:
cmake -S. -Bbuild -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=gfortran
Then
cd build
and
mingw32-make

Any advice/fix, please?

Thanks for trying and sorry for not replying earlier. The error means that it could not link to blas library for some reason. I updated the cmake files and also the third-party building script for windows. Can you please try again now and check. The guidelines for compiling have also changed slightly, and are updated on the minotaur webpage https://minotaur-solver.github.io/#compile-win

If you want to 'solve' an instance, then you really would need to compile third-party libraries first. Compiling minotaur without third-parties would give you just the core minotaur library without any ability to read .nl files or solve LP and NLP relaxations.
