Building QuantlibAddin 1.0.1 on Linux fails - no Makefile.am etc.?

[Soeren Gerlach]

  Hi,

currently I am in progress of porting an energy pricing library, that
makes heavy use of Quantlib, version 1.0.1, from the current Windows
build environment to Linux (SLES10.2). We did a prior port with 0.9.7
wichh succeeded, but with 1.0.1 I am struggling with the QuantlibAddin
lib. Checking the files at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/quantlib/files/ I can spot only on qla
archive (.exe, self-extracting) in the prerelease section. But after
downloading this I spotted that all the automake/autogen files are gone
in this archive!
Tried to setup the build artefacts from a prior version and it almost
worked...but in a very link stage it fails to find some crude name
dir/object files...

So any chance to get this compiled on Linux? Unfortunately the business
dept. has already voted to use this version so there is no chance to
switch back the Quantlib version.


Thanks & regards,
Soeren Gerlach

Yes, QuantlibAddin fell behind (the maintainers are short on time, I
guess.  Eric, any news?)

You might try checking out the latest sources from Subversion, though;
the command
  svn checkout https://quantlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/quantlib/branches/R01000x-branch
will download the code. It might work better than the prerelease
version.

  Hi Luigi,

this of course is so self-evident that I did not take this option into
account ,-)) I just checked out some files from the repository, they
seem to work not completely but It looks like it repairing them will
take not too much time.

Thanks for helping,
Soeren Gerlach
