Other tentative 0.9.9 tarballs and partial branch freeze

[Luigi Ballabio]

Hi all,
        as it turns out, the latest tarballs weren't the final ones after all.
So, if you have any more cycles to spare, please download and try out
the new tarballs at <http://quantlib.org/prerelease/>.  If nobody
reports any showstoppers by next Wednesday, these ones are going to be
released.

Report here any problems you may have.  As usual, I'd particularly
appreciate if you tried the library on cygwin or mingw, as I don't have
a test environment for those platforms.

Also, as we're close to release, I'm partially freezing the 0.9.9
branch; please don't commit anything in its QuantLib and QuantLib-SWIG
modules without checking with me first.

Thanks,
        Luigi

MinGW success using Dev-C++ (which I last used to build QL 0.9.7); also built
one example (FittedBondCurve) which runs. Looks good.

Also updating the Debian package to 0.9.9~20091104-1.

Hi Luigi

compilation fails (INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR) when using VC++ 7 (2003)
with boost 1.39

I just stopped at the first error in money.cpp line 201

Personally I will not dedicate my time to VC++ 7 support, as it
dropped out of my table a lot of time ago, and I don't even have VC 7
boost libs around anymore.

ciao -- Nando

Hi Luigi,

this tarball compiles on both

Mac OS X 10.5.7 with boost 1.39 and  

MinGW on Vista on Parallels on Mac OS X with boost 1.34.1

Test suite is passed without erros in both environments.

Regards,

Roland

Almost fine and dandy here on a very old CygWin/gcc set on W2K:
/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/
boost 1.38.0

Lib builds and all the examples build and run.

Could not build the test-suite because I am having trouble building boost::test
on this environment but thats my own problem.

The building stops at the emacs/lisp script creation with the message below
and the libs do not get installed.
>From my ignorance I guess it has something to do with my local emacs
installation. If you can please tip me on this one now that I am at it.

So there are no code generation problems, I'll blame the other problems to my
cygwin installation. This is not a problem I am having now with 0.9.9; it is
not the env I normally use.

Best regards
Pepe
