Linking problem with the test suite

[Elise Gourier]

Hi,

I've just installed QuantLib and I have a problem building the test-suite. I have built the examples without any problems. I use Dev-C++, the last version of Boost (1_35, but I have the same error with version 1_34) and QuantLib 0.9.0. 

At the beginning I got the message "cannot find -lboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-mt" so I changed the name of the library into "libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-mt.a" (it was "boost_unit_test_framework-mgw34-mt-1_35.lib" before). Now I have the following message:   

variable 'vtable for boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t' can't be auto-imported. Please read the documentation for ld's --enable-auto-import for details. 
...
[Linker error] undefined reference to [hidden email] 
ld returned 1 exit status 

In Project Options>Parameters>Linker I have:

../lib/libQuantLib-mgw-0_9_0.a
-lboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-mt

I spent a lot of time looking on Internet, but did not manage to make it work. I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Elise

Hello,
 
You can not change a .lib filename (present in windows environnement) to a .a static library/archive filename, on Unix environnement.
I mean, .a filenames must not be present on windows environnement, and .lib names on Unix environnement. 
Rather than to change filenames (always a bad idea for me), you have to check your compiler options, name of dependent libraries like boost (.lib on windows) here and paths.

Cheers,
Philippe

I downloaded Dev-C++ from the Internet.
 
Since minGW is GCC ported to windows, the filename ../lib/libQuantLib-mgw-0_4_0.a is correct (not very suitable on windows in my opinion however).

I changed the project option parameters :
../lib/libQuantLib-mgw-0_4_0.a
../../boost_1_33_1/stage/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw.lib

It works perfectly well, as a static library. The only thing you need to do is to compile Boost for minGW.

Regards,
Philippe

Hello,
 
Thank you for your answer. I'm working on Windows, so I kept the .lib files as you said and changed the compiler environment. But I still have the same error... According to what I saw in the FAQ and on Internet, it's related to Dev-C++ and the mingw compiler which is used, but I don't see what to change to fix the problem.
 
Cheers,

Hmm. With Boost 1.34, I have both boost_unit_test_framework-* and
libboost_unit_test_framework-*.  I did have to rename a library, but I
think it was just a matter of changing the extension from lib to a.
Maybe you didn't build all of Boost? I haven't tried 1.35 yet, but a
recent post suggested to add --build-type=complete to the bjam
invocation.

Thank you Luigi. I have uninstalled Dev-C++, reinstalled it, rebuilt Boost and now the compilation works fine.
 
When I run the test-suite however, I have a problem with the uBlas library, I get the following message:

Unknown location(0) : Fatal error in “MarketModelSmmCapletAlphaCalibrationTest::testFunction”: std::exception this     version of gcc does not support the Boost uBlas library
Unknown location(0) : Fatal error in “MarketModelSmmCapletCalibrationTest::testFunction”: std::exception this version of gcc does not support the Boost uBlas library
Unknown location(0) : Fatal error in “MarketModelSmmCapletHomoCalibrationTest::testFunction”: std::exception this version of gcc does not support the Boost uBlas library
Unknown location(0) : Fatal error in “MarketModelSmmCapletHomoCalibrationTest::testPeriodFunction”: std::exception this version of gcc does not support the Boost uBlas library
Unknown location(0) : Fatal error in “MatricesTest::testInverse”: std::exception this version of gcc does not support the Boost uBlas library
Unknown location(0) : Fatal error in “SwapForwardMappingsTest::testForwardCoterminalMappings”: std::exception this version of gcc does not support the Boost uBlas library
 
I'm working with the last release of Dev C++ which includes gcc 3.4.2. Do you have an idea of how I can fix that? 
 
Thanks a lot in advance.
 
Elise

Yes, it was a false report---Dev-C++ should work. You can edit
ql/math/matrix.hpp at line 29, where it says:

#if !defined(__GNUC__) || __GNUC__ > 3 || __GNUC_MINOR__ > 4
#define QL_MATRIX_BLAS
#endif

Remove the check (the #if and #endif) and just leave

#define QL_MATRIX_BLAS

After recompilation, the tests should pass.

Luigi
