Building LPSolver binary from source - for MAC OSX

#How to build and install the lp_solve Java extension on Mac OS X:

#Download and expanded lp_solve_5.5_source.tar.gz into a directory named 'lp_solve_5.5'.
#Download and expand lp_solve_5.5_java.zip into a directory named 'lp_solve_5.5_java'.

# 1) Build the lp_solve library.

$ cd lp_solve_5.5/lpsolve55
$ sh ccc.osx

# This creates two new files in the lpsolve55 subdirectory:

$ ls liblp*
liblpsolve55.a liblpsolve55.dylib

# 2) Install the lp_solve library.

# If not already in directory lpsolve55, cd to it. Copy liblpsolve55.a  and
# liblpsolve55.dylib to /usr/local/lib (you may need to create
# /usr/local/lib first: sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib):

$ sudo cp liblpsolve55.a liblpsolve55.dylib /usr/local/lib

#3) Test the build and installation.

$ cd lp_solve_5.5/demo

# The ccc.osx script is broken. The good news is that version 5.5 of
# lp_solve fixes the "malloc.h" incompatibility on the Mac that was in
# earlier versions. The Unix/Linux script now works on OS X. Be 
# patient...
# it may take several seconds to build 'demo':

$ sh ccc

# The example problems in the demo should issue no errors and have
# "Excellent numeric accuracy ||*|| = 0":

$ ./demo

# 4) Build the lp_solve JNI extension.

$ cd lp_solve_5.5_java/lib/mac

# The script "build-osx" in the mac subdirectory is a DOS text file:

#Edit build-osx to set LPSOLVE_DIR to the location of directory
# lp_solve_5.5 on your computer. 

$ sh build-osx

# This creates the extension library liblpsolve55j.jnilib.

# 5) Install the lp_solve JNI extension.

# The file liblpsolve55j.jnilib should be copied to /Library/Java/ 
# Extensions
# if you want it to be available to all users. We assume this will be a
# private installation (create the Java extensions directory if necessary;
# e.g., mkdir -p ~/Library/Java/Extensions):

$ cp liblpsolve55j.jnilib ~/Library/Java/Extensions

# 6) Test the Java extension:

$ cd lp_solve_5.5_java/demo
$ java -cp ./demo.jar:../lib/lpsolve55j.jar Demo

# The numerical results of the Java Demo should be identical to those 
# of the C demo.

# There is a Java unit test. Out of 122 tests, I got 5 errors and 3
# failures, all of which could be explained (missing XLI applications,
# missing BFP libraries, outdated version numbers in tests, negligible
# floating point differrences):

$ java -cp ./unittests.jar:../lib/lpsolve55j.jar:../lib/junit.jar LpSolveTest

# or

$ java -cp ./Demo.jar:../lib/lpsolve55j.jar -Djava.library.path=/Users/santhoshgandhe/mac_lpsolver/lp_solve_5.5/lpsolve55/bin/osx64:/Users/santhoshgandhe/mac_lpsolver/lp_solve_5.5_java/lib/mac Demo
