DepSelectorLibgecode

This library vendors Gecode 3.7.3 as a rubygem so it can easily be used with the dep-selector project.

Gecode is a fast CSP solver library written in C++. We created this library to install it in order to optimize the following criteria:

• Allow users to install libraries that depend on gecode without extra steps.
• Install the correct version of gecode for dep-selector. The current release line of gecode is 4.x, but dep-selector uses ~> 3.5.
• Configure the source installation for shortest compilation time by excluding unnecessary components. Gecode has a reputation for taking a long time to compile, but in fact most of that time is spent building examples and documentation. We've disabled these, along with the flatzinc interpreter.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dep-selector-libgecode'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dep-selector-libgecode

Usage

DepSelectorLibgecode provides helper functions for locating the vendored gecode after installation:

require 'dep-selector-libgecode'

# The vendored lib dir:
DepSelectorLibgecode.opt_path

# The include dir (where the headers are):
DepSelectorLibgecode.include_path
