Windows usage help request.

Hi! I have cbc installed (which works fine from the cli) and I can build coin_cbc without error but when I execute cargo test I get a litany of unresolved external symbol errors. I'm not sure what to pass the linker so it'll link properly; its definitely finding the lib it just isn't finding the exported symbols (which are definitely there - confirmed via dumpbin).

In WSL everything is aces! A simple install of the coin lib, a git clone and cargo test and cargo run --example knapsack was smooth as silk.

Hello again, got it working.

I added the build.rs block as stated by Phil (#2 (comment)) to the coin_cbc root directory and

set the to coin_cbc_sys link to 'static'

#[link(name = "CbcSolver", kind = "static")]
extern "C" {
    pub fn Cbc_newModel() -> *mut Cbc_Model;
    pub fn Cbc_deleteModel(model: *mut Cbc_Model);
    ...

also, because I didn't want to use $PATH I added a full link-search path to the coin_cbc_sys build.rs.

cargo test and cargo run --example knapsack worked. :)
