Building

This crate depends upon nlopt and will fail if it cannot find a library to link against. It has been tested against nlopt v2.5.0 - it may or may not work against other versions.

The source can be downloaded from the official site, which also has provides build instructions.

Note you may find it more convenient the build nlopt as a static library, by passing -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF to cmake.

The resulting C-lib must be on the search path at link-time. This can be set with environment variables, the rustc command or a build.rs script.

Tests

cargo test

(This is a quick way to check the C-lib can be found).

Examples

For a basic usage example, see examples/bobyqa.rs. Run with

cargo run --example bobyqa

See also the tests in src/lib.rs
