LINK : fatal error LNK1104: Datei "QuantLib-vc80-mt-gd-0_8_0.lib" cannot be opened

[Christoph.OBENHUBER]

Hello,

As you might recognize in a second I am new to quantlib ;-)
I do not really get the point concerning this FAQ topic: In which directory should this file "QuantLib-vcX-xx-xxx-a_b_c.lib" be ? Actually I am not quite sure what is meant by "building Quantlib QuantLib-vcX-xx-xxx-a_b_c.lib".
By the way does anybody know if there is a step by step manual "how to install quantlib" for C++ Visual Express 2005 ?

Best regards,
Christoph

5.1. I cannot link QuantLib to my project under Visual C++
If you're encountering the linking error
   LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "QuantLib-vcX-xx-xxx-a_b_c.lib"
   
the folder including QuantLib-vcX-xx-xxx-a_b_c.lib is not in your link path (See the menu Property Pages | Linker | Input) or you haven't really built QuantLib-vcX-xx-xxx-a_b_c.lib yet. Note that each build configuration produces a different library.

The xxx,a,b,c are variables. In your case, the above is
QuantLib-vc80-mt-gd-0_8_0.lib  (X = 80, a = 0 etc.) We were trying to
write the FAQ for a generic library name.

As it says in the FAQ,

When you build QuantLib, a library was created in QuantLib-0.8.0/lib. If
QuantLib-vc80-mt-gd-0_8_0.lib is there, you have to tell your compiler
to look into that directory. If it's not there and there's another one
instead, you have built QuantLib in some other configuration (Release or
something) and you have to change the configuration of your project to
match.

Later,
        Luigi
