Boost and Quantlib

[Serhat Güven]

Dear all,

I'm totally new to Quantlib so forgive this first simple question.

I use Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and I couldn't compile the
project yet because I couldn't install Boost on windows. Do I have to
compile Boost at the same time when I am trying to compile Quantlib?
If so, where should I put the source codes of Boost project in order
to link them?

Best,
Serhat

Hi Serhat,

Here are links to detailed instructions on how to build boost 1.34.1 and
quantlib 0.9.0 using Visual Studio 2008 Express.

Since they were written, a new version of boost (1.35.0) has been released.
Unlike boost 1.34.1, boost 1.35.0 requires no patching to make it
compile under
Visual Studio 2008 so if you use 1.35.0, you can ignore that part of the
post.

However, also unlike boost 1.34.1, boost 1.35.0 will not by default
build the
entire set of boost libraries.  To build everything that you need for
quantlib use:

bjam --build-type=complete
bjam --build-type=complete install

I'm planning on updating the instructions themselves but have not had a
chance
to yet.

No, you'll have to compile Boost first. Instructions are on the Boost
site at
<http://boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/index.html>

Dear all,

Although I've linked boost and quantlib in a new project and I get no
"file not found" errors, I get "unknown Microsoft compiler" error. I
hope this is a common error and I would appreciate your help with
this.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Serhat,

Can you give a little more detail please?  What were you doing when you got the "unknown Microsoft compiler" ?  Were you compiling boost or quantlib?  Which version of boost are you using?
