This file describes how to use the or-tools java binary archive. OR-Tools is located at http://code.google.com/p/or-tools This module has been tested under: - ubuntu 10.04 and up (32 and 64 bit). - Mac OS X Lion with xcode 4.x (64 bit). - Microsoft Windows with Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 (32 and 64 bit). Upon decompressing the archive, you will get the following structure: or-tools/ LICENSE-2.0.txt <- Apache License README <- This file data/ <- Data for the examples examples/ <- Java examples lib/ <- Directory containing jar files and native libraries objs/ <- Directory that will contain compiled classes Running the examples will involve compiling them, then running them. Let's compile and run examples/com/google/ortools/constraintsolver/samples/RabbitsPheasants.java javac -d objs -cp lib/com.google.ortools.jar examples/com/google/ortools/constraintsolver/samples/RabbitsPheasants.java java -Djava.library.path=lib -cp objs:lib/com.google.ortools.jar com.google.ortools.constraintsolver.samples.RabbitsPheasants
