MINGW install

[michaelb]

Is it possible to install Quantlib for a Mingw (gcc/g++ Windows) set up?

I know about the requirement for boost, but after that I am stumped.

Hi Michael

QuantLib ships with Mingw project files.  I don't use Mingw but I
imagine you install QuantLib and then point Mingw at e.g. C:\Program
Files\QuantLib\QuantLib.dev - have you tried that?

Regards,
Eric

Those are Dev-C++ project files. For the bare-bones MinGW, we'd need to
provide Makefiles, but we never got around to that. Michael, for the
time being you might want to use Dev-C++; it's not the best IDE in
town, but it can get you started.

Follow-up to myself; there are two other possibilities, namely, you can  
drive gcc via Eclipse with the C++ plugin (point it to the ql subdirectory)
or you can try installing MSYS as well as MinGW and doing the usual
'./configure; make' dance (I haven't tested this latter option though.)

Hi,
I used the configure, make, make install path and had no problems with my
MinGW setup. It was more difficult to find the right setup for boost with
MinGW.
I can also send you the generated makefiles if this can help you.

Matthias,

I am using mingw and msys and trying to figure out how to build the
package and boost and having absolutely no success. Can you please
post the procedure and make files that you used? Thank you SO much.
