To test your C++ installations, open a x64 Native Tools Command Prompt and navigate to
the directory where you unpacked the binary distribution. Then enter the
following command:
maketest
This runs a selection of examples for OR-Tools. If all the examples run
successfully, you are ready to
get started with OR-Tools.
