Cygwin installation problem

[Igor Gierymski]

I apologize if this issue has already been addressed in a prior position.
I am able to make QuantLib 0.3.7 but it fails when linking test-suite:

I'm not using cygwin, but it might be that you haven't compiled Boost unit
test framework.
QuantLib relies on the Boost header files only, while the test suite needs
the Boost unit test libraries to link with.

No, from the echoed commands it looks like the -L /usr/local/lib in the  
libtool invocation becomes just /usr/local/lib in the g++ invocation.
Igor, how did you pass that option?

Igor,

There is a previous thread related to this issue.  Search for Cygwin on

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=quantlib-users

It appears as if you cannot put a space in the -L command, i.e.,
-L ${DIR} will fail whereas -L${DIR} will not.

Luigi, is this a known bug with libtool under g++?

Err, I don't know. My box was configured so that /usr/local/lib is one  
of the default places where to look for libraries...

You hit the nail the on the head. I had to edit the Makefile in the
test-suite directory. I changed
LDFLAGS = -L /usr/local/lib
to
LDFLAGs = -L/usr/local/lib

And now it builds. Thanks alot!
