Cannot build cbc due to outdated Mumps and Metis dependencies
dmerejkowsky opened this issue · comments
When trying to build cbc 2.10.1 with coinbrew, the downloading of Thirdparty/Metis fails:

Ditto for Mumps.
I'm guessing that the problem is that coinbrew fetches an old version of Metis, which does not use the github url.
I've managed to build a working version of cbc by patching the dependencies in cbc/Dependencies so if you want I can try and make a PR somewhere.
Here's the patch:

2.42.0
I don't think we'll patch up old releases. I hope it works fine with the latest release (2.10.10).
Yeah sorry - the bug is still there on the latest release - the patch is the same except the file is now in .coin-or/Dependencies
Then I don't understand what goes on.
https://github.com/coin-or/Cbc/blob/releases/2.10.10/.coin-or/Dependencies says
ThirdParty/Metis https://github.com/coin-or-tools/ThirdParty-Metis stable/1.3
ThirdParty/Mumps https://github.com/coin-or-tools/ThirdParty-Mumps stable/1.6
So coinbrew should either check out the 1.3 and 1.6 branches, respectively, or the latest releases from 1.3 and 1.6, respectively.
Oooh I understand what's going on :) I got confused while copy/pasting the version number in the script - I thought I was building 2.10.10 but was instead building 2.10.1
We can close this - sorry for the noise
