Thin wrapper around the C nlopt library.
Note: Not all functionality has been tested.
This library depends upon nlopt and will fail if it cannot find a library to link against.
For Linux, it is recommended to clone nlopt from github (the official release is
many years behind master) and follow the installation docs.
You may find it more convenient the build nlopt as a static library, by passing -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF to cmake.
Windows is a bit more tricky. One way is to download the precompiled
binary and turn it into nlopt.lib by executing
lib.exe /def:libnlopt-0.def /out:nlopt.lib /MACHINE:x64`
(This requires the Visual Studio development tools to be installed).
For either platform, the resulting object must be on the search path at link-time. This can be set with
environment variables, the rustc command or a build.rs script.
cargo test
For a basic usage example, see examples/bobyqa.rs. Run with
cargo run --example bobyqa
