LpSolve IDE(Integrated Development Interface)

Port LpSolve IDE under Lazarus(Lpsolve home).

LpSolve IDE on linux:

New

• editing the syntax highlighting scheme(rather primitive).
• maintaining the position of the main window between sessions.

To compile LpSolve IDE:

• download and install the appropriate liblpsolve55 binary from the official website.
• compile and install(optional) /packages/lazlpsolver/lazlpsolver.lpk.
  • note: installing the package is only necessary if you are going to edit forms.
• open and compile /source/LpSolveIDE.lpi

To make linux stand-alone application:

• create application folder(denote AppFolder)
• put into AppFolder LpSolveIDE binary
• put into AppFolder liblpsolve55 binary(if not installed)
• download from the official website and put into AppFolder all needed extention binaries(BFP and XLI)
• download from the official website and put into AppFolder CHM help file
• put into AppFolder LpSolveIDE.ini
• run the application using(as variant) a bash script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
AppFolderPath=path-to-AppFolder
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$AppFolderPath"
cd $AppFolderPath
./LpSolveIDE

A remark about CHM help file:

If you have a program for reading CHM files on your computer, and the CHM format is known system-wide, then nothing else needs to be done. If the CHM format is not known system-wide, you need to add in the [Help] section of the LpSolveIDE.ini the line "ChmFileReader=chm-help-reader-full-file-name" (without quotes). If there is no program for reading CHM files, you can use lhelp from the Lazarus installation (in /components/chmhelp/lhelp). Compile lhelp, place it in the AppFolder and add the line "ChmFileReader=lhelp"(without quotes) in the [Help] section of the LpSolveIDE.ini.
