64 bit compilation

Dear all,

I had recently to switch my installation of QuantLib from 32 to 64 bit and I encountered several problems (that I finally solved). I would like to share my experience and also know if there are better solutions than mine. I used Visual C++ 2010 Express and the SDK 7.1 (for the 64 bit compiler).

First of all, I had to reinstall boost by myself in 64 bit. Indeed, the 64 bit installer released recently by boostpro was causing a link error, like

libboost_unit_test_framework-vc100-mt-1_51.lib(unit_test_suite.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'

I could confirm that this was the source of the problem by inspecting the lib with the dumpbin utility.

Once boost was installed, I followed the guide for the installation excepted for the following points:

- I used a x64 platform in the Property page of the projects

- I changed the Platform Toolset from vc100 to Windows7.1SDK in Configuration Properties -> General

- Finally, there is a problem with the SDK (known, but Microsoft won’t fix) and I had to disable de browse information: I put No in Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Browse Information - > Enable Browse Information. Otherwise, I got complains about bscmake.exe

Apart from a big bunch of warnings about conversions between size_t and int, everything runs smoothly and all the tests are successful.

Let me know if you have different experiences and/or better solutions than the ones that I found!

Best regards,

Samuel Quinodoz

Re: 64 bit compilation

Hi all,
just a follow-up: I don't have an x64 machine for testing, but it
should be possible to have both 32 and 64 bit configurations in the
VC++10 projects (rather than replacing the 32-bit configuration with
the 64-bit one). If anyone wants to try it and contribute the updated
project, I'll be glad to add it to the repository.
