ObjectHandler and QuantLibAddin

[Penschke, Walter]

Hi Eric,

sorry that I could not respong to you earlier.

Before I get come to your response to my initial email I'd like to address
that I have problems getting
QuantLibAddIn compiled from the actual development backup tar-ball. With QL
and ObjectHandler
everything went fine. Here is what I did (Linux as OS):

- Downloaded the development tar ball and extracted it locally.

- Set CVSROOT to the just extracted local CVS repository and checked out the

modules QuantLib, ObjectHandler and QuantLibAddin.

- Compiled QuantLib and ObjectHandler successfully like that:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`
$ make
$ make install

- Tried to compile QuantLibAddin like that:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=`pwd` CPPFLAGS="-I<PATH_TO_OBJECTHANDLER>
-I<PATH_TO_QUANTLIB>/include" LDFLAGS="-L<PATH_TO_OBJECTHANDLER>/lib
-L<PATH_TO_QUANTLIB>/lib"
$ make

This make command seems to compile and link the directory
QuantLibAddin/qla/objects successfully
but runs into problems with the directory QuantLibAddin/qla/functions. Here
is the end of the generated output:

Having a look in the corresponding QuantLibAddin/qla/functions/Makefile it
seems that it expects a source file options.cpp. However in the
corresponding directory there is no such file.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Much of the QuantLibAddin source code is autogenerated, you need to cd
to the Autogen directory and run autogen.py.  Sorry for not mentioning
that anywhere!, I'll add it to the readme file.

Some other notes on recompiling ...
- compiling the Calc Linux addin requires some extra steps which I
haven't gotten around to documenting.  If you need that please let me
know.  The Calc addin on Windows should compile as documented.
- On Windows I use MSDEV6 and those project workspace files are always
up to date.  I try to propogate changes to the other IDEs with
grep/sed but they may be broken.

Very much looking forward to your feedback.

Regards
Eric

I just committed a couple of small patches---under Linux, 'make' will now  
invoke autogen.py before building the addins.

Or if you don't have Calc installed, use
./configure --disable-calc
to inhibit Calc-specific compilations.
