1We provide two different systems to compile the code:
2- the newer [CMake](@ref CMAKE) build system (recommended for new users)
3- the traditional [Makefile](@ref MAKE) system.
4
5Be aware that generated libraries and binaries of both systems might be different and incompatible.
6For further information please refer to the [online documentation of SCIP](https://scipopt.org/doc/html/INSTALL.php).
7
8The easiest way to install SCIP is to use the SCIP Optimization Suite, which contains SCIP, SoPlex, and ZIMPL.
9For that we refer to the `README.md` file of the SCIP Optimization Suite (in case of the SCIP Optimization Suite there is no need to specify any directories, the compiling process is fully automated).
10
11Building SCIP using CMake {#CMAKE}
12==================================
13
14[CMake](https://cmake.org/) is a build system generator that can create, e.g., Makefiles for UNIX and Mac or Visual Studio project files for Windows.
15
16CMake provides an [extensive documentation](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html) explaining available features and use cases as well as an [FAQ section](https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ).
17It's recommended to use the latest stable CMake version available.  `cmake --help` is also a good first step to see available options and usage information.
18
19Windows and platform independent build instructions
20---------------------------------------------------
21
22To build SCIP you may use the CMake GUI to specify the path to SCIP and the desired location for the build.
23Available options are listed and can be modified to suit your needs.
24After the configuration step is done, open the generated Visual Studio solution file and compile it.
25
26Alternatively, you may use the command line to configure and build SCIP by creating a `build` directory and then building the configuration:
27
28```
29cmake -Bbuild -H. [-DSOPLEX_DIR=/path/to/soplex]
30cmake --build build --config Release [Debug]
31```
32
33Command line instructions (Linux, macOS)
34----------------------------------------
35
36Compiling SCIP directly can be done as follows:
37
38```
39tar xvzf scip-x.y.z.tgz                                                       # unpack the tarball
40cd scip-x.y.z                                                                 # change into the directory
41mkdir build                                                                   # create a new directory
42cd build                                                                      # change directories
43cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install/dir> [-DSOPLEX_DIR=/path/to/soplex]  # configure the build
44make                                                                          # start compiling SCIP
45make check                                                                    # (recommended) check build
46make install                                                                  # (optional) install SCIP executable, library, and headers
47```
48
49Note: For a full ctest run `ctest` instead of `make check` after compilation.
50
51CMake checks for available third-party libraries like GMP or ZLIB and sets up the configuration accordingly.
52
53Modifying a CMake configuration
54-------------------------------
55
56CMake uses an out-of-source build, i.e., compiled binaries and object files are separated from the source tree and located in another directory.
57Usually this directory is called `build` or `debug` or whatever you prefer.
58From within this directory, run `cmake <path/to/SCIP>` to configure your build, followed by `make` to compile the code according to the current configuration (this assumes that you chose Linux Makefiles as CMake Generator).
59By default, SCIP searches for Soplex as LP solver.
60If SoPlex is not installed systemwide, the path to a CMake build directory of SoPlex must be specified (ie one that contains "soplex-config.cmake").
61Alternatively, a different LP solver can be specified with the `LPS` variable.
62
63Afterwards, successive calls to `make` are going to recompile modified source code, without requiring another call to `cmake`.
64The initial configuration step checks your environment for available third-party libraries and packages and sets up the configuration accordingly, e.g., disabling support for GMP if not installed.
65
66The generated executable and libraries are put in directories `bin` and `lib` respectively and will simply be named `scip` or `libscip.so`.
67This is different from the naming convention of the previous Makefile setup that appended the configuration details like OS and third party dependencies directly to the name of the binary or library.
68The CMake setup tries to follow the established Linux/UNIX compilation conventions to facilitate the use of the libraries in other applications.
69The previously generated sub-libraries like `liblpi.so` or `libobjscip.so` are not created by default anymore.
70They can be built using the respective targets `liblpi`, `libobjscip`, etc.
71The main library `libscip.so` will contain all SCIP sources and won't have dependencies to the other sub-libs.
72
73There are several options that can be passed to the `cmake <path/to/SCIP>` call to modify how the code is built.
74For all of these options and parameters you have to use `-D<Parameter_name>=<value>`.
75Following a list of available options, for the full list run
76
77```
78cmake </path/to/SCIP/> -LH
79```
80and set them by running `cmake .. -D<option>=<value>`.
81Options can be chained together or be specified in subsequent calls to cmake.
82The existing configuration will be updated or extended.
83e.g., `cmake </path/to/SCIP> -DSOPLEX_DIR=<path/to/SoPlex/build/or/install>`.

110
111Parameters can be set all at once or in subsequent calls to `cmake` - extending or modifying the existing configuration.
112
113Testing with CTest
114------------------
115
116There is an extensive test suite written for [CTest]("https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ctest.1.html)
117that may take a while to complete.
118To perform a quick test to see whether the compilation was really successful you may run `make check`.
119To see all available tests, run
120
121```
122ctest -N
123```
124
125and to perform a memory check, run
126
127```
128ctest -T MemCheck
129```
130
131If [Criterion](https://criterion.readthedocs.io/en/master/) is installed (set custom path with `-DCRITERION_DIR=<path>`) the target `unittests` can be used to compile and run the available unit tests.
132
133A coverage report for the entire test suite can be generated.
134This requires a modification of the compilation process.
135Two variables govern the report generation, `COVERAGE` and `COVERAGE_CTEST_ARGS`.
136It is recommended to use the Debug build type.
137
138```
139cmake </path/to/SCIP> -DCOVERAGE=on -DCOVERAGE_CTEST_ARGS="-R MIP -E stein -j4" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
140```
141
142In this example, coverage is enabled in combination with the build type Debug.
143In addition, only the coverage for tests with "MIP" in the name are run, excluding those that have "stein" in the name.
144The tests are performed in parallel using 4 cores.
145
146Use the `coverage` target, e.g., `make coverage`, to build the coverage report.
147The generated report can be found under "coverage/index.html".
148
149Additional targets
150------------------
151
152There are several further targets available, which can be listed using `make help`.
153For instance, there are some examples that can be built with `make examples` or by specifying a certain one: `make <example-name>`.
154
155| CMake target    | Description                                           | Requirements                          |

168
169Building SCIP using the Makefile system {#MAKE}
170===============================================
171
172**Please note, that the Makefile system is not actively maintained anymore.
173If possible, please use \ref CMAKE "the cmake system".**
174
175For Linux and Mac, reading the section "Brief installation description" should usually be enough.
176If this is not the case, you can find the "Detailed installation description" below as well as some examples.
177
178We recommend using GCC version 4.8 or later.
179
180Brief installation description
181------------------------------
182
183The easiest way to install \SCIP is to use the \SCIP Optimization Suite which contains \SCIP, SoPlex, and ZIMPL.
184For that we refer to the INSTALL file of the \SCIP Optimization Suite (main advantage: there is no need
185to specify any directories, the compiling process is fully automated).
186
187Compiling SCIP directly can be done as follows:
188
189```
190tar xvzf scip-x.y.z.tgz                      # unpack the tarball
191cd scip-x.y.z                                # change into the directory
192make                                         # start compiling SCIP
193make test                                    # (recommended) check your SCIP installation
194make install INSTALLDIR=/path/to/install/dir # (optional) install the header, libraries, and binary
195```
196
197On your first compilation you will be asked for some soft-link targets, depending on the LP solver you want to use.
198Usually, SCIP needs the following information
199   a. the directory where the include files of the LP solver are located
200   b. the library file(s) `lib*.a` or/and `lib*.so`
201
202Beside that, SCIP needs similar soft-link targets for ZIMPL
203   a. the directory where the include files of ZIMPL are located
204   b. the library file(s) `lib*.a` or/and `lib*.so`
205
206You will need either the `.a` or the `.so` files and can skip the others by just pressing return.
207
208The most common compiling issue is that some libraries are missing on your system or that they are outdated.
209SCIP by default requires the following packages (with usual names for Linux systems in parentheses):
210
211- zlib     (libz-dev)
212- gmp      (libgmp-dev),
213- readline (libreadline-dev), and
214- ncurses  (libncurses-dev)
215
216Note that under Linux-based systems, you need to install the developer-versions of gmp/zlib/readline, in order to also have the header-files available.
217
218If you are not able or do not want to install these packages, try compiling with:
219```
220make ZLIB=false READLINE=false GMP=false.
221```
222
223Detailed installation description
224---------------------------------
225
226Here is what you have to do to get SCIP running:
227
228### 1. Compile the library and the solver program
229
230In your SCIP main directory, enter `make [options]` with the following options:
231
232The following settings are supported:
233
234| parameter and default | options              | description                                                                                      |

259
260For example, if you want to install SCIP on a Linux system with a x86 processor
261using the gnu compiler in debug mode, using Soplex version as LP solver,
262and neither an expressions interpreter nor symmetry handling techniques or multi-threading,
263you would have the following names:
264
265- `OSTYPE  = linux`
266- `ARCH    = x86`
267- `COMP    = gnu`
268- `OPT     = dbg`
269- `EXPRINT = none`
270
271On some machines, you should use `gmake` instead of `make`.
272
273On your first compilation you will be asked for some soft-link targets, depending on the LP solver you want to use.
274Usually, SCIP needs the following information
275- the directory where the include files of the LP solver
276- the library file(s) `lib*.a` or/and `lib*.so`
277You will need either the `.a` or the `.so` files and can skip the others by just pressing return.
278
279On MAC systems, GMP is often not installed in the library and include paths, e.g. in `/sw/include` and `/sw/lib`.
280In this case, you have to add the paths explicitly.
281In the above example add the settings:
282
283```
284USRFLAGS=-I/sw/include USRCPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include USRCFLAGS=-I/sw/include USRLDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib.
285```
286
287### 2. Installing SCIP
288
289After compiling you can install the headers, the libraries, and the binay.
290You do that by running the command:
291
292```
293make install INSTALLDIR=<directory>
294```
295where you substitute
296
297- `INSTALLDIR=` to install in current directory (default)
298- `INSTALLDIR=/usr/local` to install the headers (`/usr/local/include/`), the libraries (`/usr/local/lib/`), and binary (`/usr/local/bin/`) in the directory `/usr/local`
299
300For un-installing SCIP there exist the target `uninstall` which can be used in the same way as `install`.
301
302### 3. Instructions for manually creating the soft-links, if the query script fails:
303
304Create necessary soft-links in the `lib/static` and `lib/include/` subdirectories of SCIP:
305
306#### a) to use SOPLEX (Version >= 1.4.0)
307
308```
309ln -s <path to SOPLEX' *.h files> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/spxinc
310ln -s <file libsoplex.[...].a> <path to SCIP>/lib/static/libsoplex.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
311```
312For each operating system and architecture to use
313```
314cd scip
315ln -s ../soplex/lib/libsoplex.linux.x86_64.gnu.opt.a lib/static/libsoplex.linux.x86_64.gnu.a
316```
317Warning! The `.opt` in the name of the SOPLEX library does not appear in the name of the soft-link.
318
319#### b) to use CPLEX (Version >= 10.0)
320
321```
322ln -s <path to directory of cplex.h> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/cpxinc
323ln -s <file libcplex.a> <path to SCIP>/lib/static/libcplex.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
324```
325for each operation system and architecture to use
326```
327cd scip
328ln -s /cplex121/include/ilcplex lib/include/cpxinc
329ln -s /cplex121/lib/x86-64_debian4.0_4.1/static_pic/libcplex.a lib/static/libcplex.linux.x86.gnu.a
330```
331and replace the paths with your installation location.
332
333#### c) to use Gurobi
334
335```
336ln -s <path to the include directory of Gurobi> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/grbinc
337ln -s <file libgurobi81.so> <path to SCIP>/lib/shared/libgurobi.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).so
338```
339i.e.
340```
341cd scip
342ln -s /gurobi81/linux64/include lib/include/grbinc
343ln -s /gurobi81/linux64/lib/libgurobi81.so lib/shared/libgurobi.linux.x86_64.gnu.so
344```
345and replace the paths with your installation location.
346
347#### d) to use XPRESS
348
349```
350ln -s <path to directory of xprs.h> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/xprsinc
351ln -s <file libxprs.a> <path to SCIP>/lib/static/libxprs.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
352```
353for each operation system and architecture to use
354```
355cd scip
356ln -s /xpressmp/include lib/include/xprsinc
357ln -s /xpressmp/lib/libxprs.a lib/static/libxprs.linux.x86.gnu.a
358```
359and replace the paths with your installation location.
360
361#### e) to use MOSEK
362
363```
364ln -s <path to directory of mosek.h> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/mskincn
365ln -s <file libmosek.so> <path to SCIP>/lib/shared/libmosek.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).so
366```
367for each operation system and architecture to use
368```
369cd scip
370ln -s /mosek/8/tools/platform/linux64x86/h lib/include/mskinc
371ln -s /mosek/8/tools/platform/linux64x86/bin/libmosek64.so lib/shared/libmosek.linux.x86_64.gnu.so
372```
373since MOSEK is a shared library, make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains `<path to SCIP>/lib/shared`
374
375#### f) to use CLP
376
377```
378ln -s <path to Clp main directory> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/libclp.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).$(LPSOPT)
379```
380for each operating system and architecture to use
381```
382cd scip
383ln -s /Coin-Clp lib/include/libclp.linux.x86.gnu.opt
384```
385and replace the paths with your installation location.
386
387#### g) to use Glop
388
389```
390ln -s <path to OR-Tools main directory> <path to SCIP>/shared/ortools
391```
392e.g.
393```
394cd scip
395ln -s /ortools lib/shared/ortools
396```
397and replace the paths with your installation location.
398
399#### h) to use ZIMPL
400
401Use ZIMPL as additional file reader for reading *.zpl files
402
403```
404mkdir <path to SCIP>/lib/include/zimplinc
405ln -s <path to ZIMPL's *.h files> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/zimplinc/zimpl
406ln -s <file libzimpl-<version>.<options>.a> <path to SCIP>/lib/static/libzimpl.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
407```
408Note that ZIMPL needs the GNU multiprecision library (GMP) to be installed on your system.
409
410#### i) to use IPOPT as NLP solver
411
412```
413ln -s <path to IPOPT installation> <path to SCIP>/lib/ipopt.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).$(IPOPTOPT)
414(e.g. `cd scip; ln -s /Ipopt lib/shared/ipopt.linux.x86.gnu.opt
415```
416The path to the IPOPT installation is the path under where the Ipopt build has been installed.
417It should contain the directories `include/coin` with the Ipopt header files, the directory lib with the Ipopt libraries, and the directory `share/coin/doc/Ipopt` with the `ipopt_addlibs_cpp.txt` file.
418
419#### j) to use WORHP as NLP solver
420
421```
422ln -s <path to WORHP installation> <path to SCIP>/lib/shared/worhp.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).$(WORHPOPT)
423```
424e.g.
425```
426cd scip
427ln -s /Worhp lib/shared/worhp.linux.x86.gnu.opt
428```
429The path to the WORHP installation is the path under where the Worhp build has been installed.
430It should contain the directories include/worhp with the WORHP header files and the directory lib with the WORHP libraries.
431
432#### k) to use FilterSQP as NLP solver
433
434```
435ln -s <path to FilterSQP library> <path to SCIP>/lib/libfiltersqp.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
436ln -s <path to BQPD library> <path to SCIP>/lib/libbqpd.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
437```
438Make sure to replace the paths with your installation location.
439
440#### l) to use GAMS
441
442```
443ln -s <path to GAMS system directory> <path to SCIP>/lib/shared/gams.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP)
444```
445Make sure to replace the paths with your installation location.
446
447#### m) to use bliss
448
449```
450ln -s <path to bliss *.hh files> <path to SCIP>/lib/include/bliss
451ln -s <file libbliss.[...].a> <path to SCIP>/lib/static/libbliss.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).a
452```
453for each operation system and architecture to use
454```
455cd scip
456ln -s ../bliss lib/include/bliss
457ln -s ../bliss/libbliss.a lib.static/libbliss.linux.x86_64.gnu.a
458```
459Make sure to replace the paths with your installation location.
460
461### 4. Run SCIP
462
463To run SCIP enter `bin/scip.$(OSTYPE).$(ARCH).$(COMP).$(OPT).$(LPS)`
464(e.g. `bin/scip.linux.x86.gnu.opt.spx`) or just `bin/scip` for the last compiled version
465
466### 5. Generate documentation
467
468To generate the documentation, you need to have doxygen installed, and enter `make doc`.
469
470### 6. Check Code with lint
471
472To check the code with lint, you need to have flexelint installed, and enter `make lint`.
473
474### 7. Run a short test
475
476To run a short test, enter `make [options] test` with the same options with which you compiled SCIP in step 1.
477If you use `EXPRINT=none`, a few MINLP instances might be aborted.
478If you use `LPS=none`, many instances will fail or take ages to be solved.
479
480Further targets
481---------------
482The \SCIP makefile supports several targets (used via `make ... "target"`):
483
484| target | description|
485|--|--|
486| `all`    | (or no target) Build \SCIP library and binary.                           |
487| `links`  | Reconfigures the links in the "lib" directory.                           |
488| `doc`    | Creates documentation in the "doc" directory.                            |
489| `clean`  | Removes all object files.                                                |
490| `depend` | Updates dependencies files. This is only needed if you add checks for preprocessor-defines `WITH_*` or NPARASCIP in source files. |
491| `check`  | or `test` Runs the check script.                                         |
492| `lint`   | Statically checks the code via flexelint. The call produces the file `lint.out` which contains all the detected warnings. |
493| `tags`   | Generates tags which can be used in the editor **emacs** and **xemacs**. |
494
495The \SCIP makefiles are structured as follows.
496
497- `Makefile` This is the basic makefile in the \SCIP root directory. It loads
498  additional makefile information depending on the parameters set.
499- `make/make.project` This file contains definitions that are useful for all codes
500  that use \SCIP, for instance, the example.
501- `make.\<sys\>.\<machine\>.\<compiler\>.\<dbg|opt|prf|opt-gccold\>` These file contain system/compiler specific
502  definitions. If you have an unsupported compiler, you can copy one of these and modify it
503  accordingly.
504
505If your platform or compiler is not supported by \SCIP you might try and copy one of the existing
506makefiles in the `make` directory and modify it. If you succeed, we are always
507interested in including more Makefiles into the system.
508
509Examples
510--------

649Note on how to (locally) install CLP:
650- create a target directory for the installation, e.g. `clp-build` (this is the directory SCIP has to link to)
651- from within `clp-build`, run the `configure` script of coin-Clp, followed by `make install`
652
653If you ever need to modify the soft-link targets, delete the soft-links in the `lib/` subdirectory and enter `make links` to generate them again.

697Compilation problems
698--------------------
699
700If the soft-link query script does not work on your machine, read step 2 for instructions on manually creating the soft-links.
701
702### No rule to make target lib/???
703If you get an error message of the type
704```
705make: *** No rule to make target 'lib/???', needed by 'obj/O.linux.x86.gnu.opt/lib/scip/???.o'.  Stop.
706```
707the corresponding soft-link was not created or points to a wrong location.
708Check the soft-link targets in the `lib/include`, `lib/static`, `lib/shared` subdirectories.
709Try to delete all soft-links from those directories and call `make links` to generate them again.
710If this still fails, read step 2 for instructions on manually creating the soft-links.
711
712### No rule to make target make/make
713
714If you get an error message of the type
715```
716make: *** No rule to make target 'make/make.?.?.?.?.?'.  Stop.
717```
718the corresponding machine dependent makefile for your architecture and compiler is missing.
719Create one of the given name in the `make/` subdirectory.
720You may take `make/make.linux.x86.gnu.opt` or any other file in the make subdirectory as example.
721
722### No support for remove_history call
723
724The readline library seems to differ slightly on different OS distributions.
725Some versions do not support the `remove_history()` call.
726In this case, you have to either add `-DNO_REMOVE_HISTORY` to the FLAGS in the appropriate `make/make.*` file, or to compile with `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_REMOVE_HISTORY`.
727Make sure, the file `src/scip/dialog.c` is recompiled.
728If this doesn't work either, disable the readline library with `make READLINE=false`.
729
730### No support for sigaction method
731
732On some systems, the `sigaction()` method is not available.
733In this case, you have to either add `-DNO_SIGACTION` to the FLAGS in the appropriate `make/make.*` file, or to compile with `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_SIGACTION`.
734Make sure, the file `src/scip/interrupt.c` is recompiled.
735
736### No support for rand_r method
737
738On some systems, the `rand_r()` method is not available.
739In this case, you have to either add `-DNO_RAND_R` to the FLAGS in the appropriate `make/make.*` file, or to compile with `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_RAND_R`.
740Make sure, the file `src/scip/misc.c` is recompiled.
741
742### No support for strtok_r method
743
744On some systems, the `strtok_r()` method is not available.
745In this case, you have to either add `-DNO_STRTOK_R` to the FLAGS in the appropriate `make/make.*` file, or to compile with `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_STRTOK_R`.
746Make sure, the file `src/scip/misc.c` is recompiled.
747
748### No support for strerror_r method
749
750On some systems, the `strerror_r()` method is not available.
751In this case, you have to either add `-DNO_STRERROR_R` to the FLAGS in the appropriate `make/make.*` file, or to compile with `make USRFLAGS=-DNO_STRERROR_R`.
752Make sure, the file `src/scip/misc.c` is recompiled.
753
754### No support for read command
755
756On some systems, the option [-e] is not available for the read command.
757You have to compile with `READ=read`.
758
759### Problems with Clp
760
761In some situations, it may be necessary to adjust the flags for linking against Clp.
762SCIP's Makefile tries to find the file `clp_addlibs.txt`, which specifies the needed libraries.
763The first thing you should check is whether `clp_addlibs.txt` is present at in path `libclp.*/share/coin/doc/Clp/` (you may have to correct this path for some Clp versions).
764If this file is not present in your Clp version, SCIP tries to guess the paths and libraries: it assumes that Blas and Lapack are installed as system libraries (`libblas.a`, `liblapack.a`) and are not build into the CoinUtils library.
765If that is different in your build of Clp, you may have to remove `$(LINKCXX_l)lapack$(LINKLIBSUFFIX)` from the `LPSLDFLAGS` in `Makefile` or `make.project`.
766Also removing `$(LINKCXX_l)bz2$(LINKLIBSUFFIX)` may help in some cases.
767
768### Compiler or linker errors
769
770If you encounter other compiler or linker errors, you should recompile with `make VERBOSE=true ...` in order to get the full compiler invocation.
771This might help to fix the corresponding machine dependent makefile in the make subdirectory.
772
773Remarks on Installing under Windows using MinGW
774-----------------------------------------------
775
776To build your own Windows binaries under Windows, we recommend using the MinGW-Compiler with MSYS from mingw.org.
777
778First install MSYS, then MinGW to the mingw folder inside the msys folder.
779Now you need to install the following packages to the mingw folder:
780- zlib (or use `ZLIB=false`)
781- pcre (or use `ZIMPL=false` since pcre is needed for ZIMPL and ZIMPL-support in SCIP)
782- gmplib (or use `ZIMPL=false` since gmplib is needed for ZIMPL and ZIMPL-support in SCIP)
783
784(After calling `make clean` in the ZIMPL folder you will also need flex and bison to remake ZIMPL.
785We recommend NOT to use `make clean` inside the ZIMPL-folder if you do not have these packages installed.)
786
787You can download these additional packages as precompiled binaries:
788- [zlib&pcre](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html)
789- [gmplib](http://cs.nyu.edu/exact/core/gmp/)
790or compile the source on your own from the project homepages:
791- [zlib](http://www.zlib.net/)
792- [pcre](http://www.pcre.org/)
793- [gmplib](http://www.gmplib.org/)
794(The command `./configure --prefix=/mingw ; make ; make install` should succeed without problems and installs the packages into the mingw folder.)
795
796Now `make READLINE=false` should be compiling without errors.
797Please note that we do NOT support creating the doxygen documentation or readline-usage under Windows.
798
799Since there are no real symlinks in MSYS, the include and library files of SoPlex and ZIMPL are actually copied into the SCIP-lib-folder.
800When you recompile ZIMPL or SoPlex after compiling SCIP you have to copy the libraries manually into the SCIP-lib-folder and recompile SCIP afterwards.
