Gurobi 5.6.2 in Eclipse C++ on Mac OS X using GCC 4.8 COMPILER

[Sanjana Sridhar]

Hello,

I am trying to get Gurobi working on Eclipse C++ with GCC 4.8 compiler and get some of the examples running. I have performed the following steps:

• Added the include path (/Library/gurobi562/mac64/include) under Project ->Properties ->C/C++ Build ->Settings ->Cross G++ Compiler ->Includes
  
• Added the Library Search Path ( /Library/gurobi/562/mac64/lib ) under Project ->Properties ->C/C++ Build ->Settings ->Cross G++ Linker ->Libraries
  
• Added the Libraries gurobi_c++ and gurobi_56

It still doesn't seem to be working. I get errors like GRBenv could not be resolved.

I got the gurobi optimizer to work on XCode because it is on the Supported platforms list http://www.gurobi.com/products/gurobi-optimizer/platforms but I was wondering if there is anyway to get it working on Eclipse since I'm using the GCC 4.8 compiler.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sanjana

This should be possible. Could you post the exact error you get?

Hi,

This is the error i get when I just try to initialize the environment and model variables

../Solvers/gurobi_wrapper.h:35:3: error: 'GRBEnv' does not name a type

   GRBEnv env;

   ^

../Solvers/gurobi_wrapper.h:36:3: error: 'GRBModel' does not name a type

   GRBModel model;

   ^

Does your code contain something like

extern "C"{
#include "gurobi_c.h"
}

?

Hello,

No it does not. Should I add this to my code? Also does this mean i have to actually copy paste the gurobi_c.h and gurobi_c++.h files into my project or is it enough if I have specified the include path? 

Thank you

Hmm, if you are using the C++ API of gurobi, it should be ok to include gurobi_c++.h. Are you doing this? Sorry, I'm only used to use the C API, not the C++ API.

So, when your are using the C++ API, this code should be in your header file (otherwise my above code):

#include "gurobi_c++.h"

You never have to copy any headers into your project folder, it is sufficient to specify the include path.

Hi Sanjana, I would like your help to configure gurobi on xcode. 

May you help me?
