Package: glpk
Severity: wishlist
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
APT prefers oldstable
APT policy: (500, 'oldstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-023stab048.6-enterprise
Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
Bug #253400 has already raised the problem that a Java binding for GLPK
is not supplied.
Falk set the bug to wontfix:
"Because of license problems we currently cannot include these
bindings (they are also removed upstream)."
Constructing a Java binding for GLPK requires only GPL compliant
software:
GLPK
SWIG (as code generator)
GCJ - GNU Compiler for the JavaTM Programming Language
and some libraries already used by GLPK.
I have implemented a Debian package libglpk-java which can be
downloaded from http://glpk.dyndns.org/debian/pool/glpk/
As GCJ installation is broken in SID on i386, I developped and tested
on Lenny. You can find downported GLPK-4.38 packages in
the same directory.
If you want to download via apt-get add the following to
/etc/apt/sources-list
deb http://glpk.dyndns.org/debian/ lenny mine
Best regards
Xypron
