Hi Hedayat,

Thanks very much.

Yes, you are right, it works after switching to single precision library.
If I want to use double precision ODE, how to configure it?

Of course, it is not necessary to turning in VS, but the configuration
in cmake or environment variables is time consuming.
And also, I do a lot of copying manually, in order to put all the data
files (rsg, rb...) and .dll files in correct relative path.
Is there any way to do it automatically?

I think the information in wiki[1] is good, but some updates should be
added for the cmake.
