Available LP solver interfaces

SCIP provides a range of different interfaces to LP solvers:

LPI name	LP solver
spx	SoPlex
cpx	IBM ILOG CPLEX
xprs	FICO XPress
grb	Gurobi (interface is in beta stage, version at least 7.0.2 required)
clp	CoinOR CLP (interface currently sometimes produces wrong results)
glop	Google Glop (experimental, LPI is contained in Glop package/Google OR tools)
msk	Mosek (experimental)
qsopt	QSopt (experimental)
none	disables LP solving entirely (not recommended; only for technical reasons)

There are two different interfaces for SoPlex. The default one (spx) uses an updated interface that is provided by SoPlex itself (since version 2.0), resulting in a slimmer LPI that is similiar to those for CPLEX or XPRESS. The other one - spx1 - is the older LPI that directly interfaces the internal simplex solver of SoPlex and therefore needs to duplicate some features in the LPI that are already available in SoPlex itself. It lacks some features like persistent scaling which are only available in the modern interface. Upcoming features may not be supported. Old compilers might have difficulties with the new interface because some C++11 features are required that may not be supported.

To use the old interface, set the Makefile option LPS=spx1 or configure your CMake build with LEGACY=ON.
