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

Thanks for this report. This is not actually a problem with the glpk
package, since the Java binding is distributed separately from GLPK. I am
hereby closing this bug report.
What we should do is to file a ITP (intent to package) of a RFP (request
for packaging) bug report against the wnpp virtual package in Debian. If
you wish, we can work together on this. The best think to do is to
develop this package collectively with the pkg-scicomp group [1], where
the glpk package itself is already developed.
Please, tell me whether this is okay with you.

I took a look at your package, thanks.

I could compile the package on a sid chroot with java-gcj-compat-dev. I
had just to remove the -C option to javac and use -classpath instead of
--classpath.
Could you please tell me how I can run the test case in
examples/GLPKSwig.java?
Cheers,
