----------------------
This package supplies lp_solve, a standalone program for solving
linear programming problems.
The lp_solve sources also build a library (liblpsolve55) which can be called
from C programs to solve linear programming problems. Header files
are installed in /usr/include/lpsolve/. See
/usr/share/doc/liblpsolve55-dev/examples/demo.c.gzfor an example. No shared
library is provided, since a dynamically linked program would be
slower than a statically linked program.
Linear programming problems (but not integer linear programming
problems) can also be solved with the program PCx. PCx is available
in the Debian package pcx, in non-free/math.
The Debian package is fixed to use libcolamd from the system instead of including
an own one. If you want to link liblpsolve55.a statically into your project
you also might need -lcolamd (and therefore libsuitesparse-dev).
