Hello all For those interested in PDF format documentation.
There are three ways of producing PDF documentation from the GLPK tarball on my circa-2006 GNU/Linux system. Using the GLPK API manual as an example, one can: $ ps2pdf doc/glpk.ps # PostScript file $ dvipdfm doc/glpk.dvi # DVI file $ pdflatex doc/glpk.tex # TeX file, run three times The 'pdflatex' utility needs to be run three times to resolve the various cross-references. Also, up to and including GLPK 4.31, 'glpk.tex' was named 'glpk.latex'. ;-) The 'pdflatex' method gives the best quality output. The resultant PDF is also seachable using Adobe 'acroread' with the following qualification: the various TeX ligatures, such as "fi", are not understood by 'acroread' -- which means that "specified" will fail but that "speci" works fine.
