Compiling and linking to the ql library?

[jcorominas]

Hi

I installed Quantlib on Suse Linux 0.3.9 with no error. Where do I find the individual main program executables for the examples like EuropeanOption.cpp?

When I tried to compile and link one of the examples "EuropeanOption.cpp" in a separate directory I got many compile errors. I tried following the instructions below

Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks

A quick look at my debian/rules files suggests that I call configure with
--enable-examples to get the examples built for the Debian packages.  Maybe
you simply need to add that flag?

Hth, Dirk

You can run 'make examples' from the root QuantLib dir to build the  
executables.
