Cannot open -lglpk: No such file or directory

Hello,

While building the glpk module , i got the following error:

It seems that it is looking for the glpk directory, i have the glpk file but don't know where the system is looking for?

Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Is the equivalent of libglpk.a (maybe named glpk.lib on a DOS system) on your system?

You could put a copy of it into the build directory
or include the option
-Lpath\of\directory\containing\it
into this command. The option must precede the -lglpk option.

(following is messed up. I hope you figure out which command from your post I mean)
