Quant Error

[Pat-55]

Hi.

 

I have just installed QuantLib on Win2000Pro. I have also installed the Borland complier. I believe the next step is to somehow use the “makefile.mak” through the Borland complier to create setup files? But I’m not sure here.

 

I tried executing ‘make.exe’ but this results in the ‘command prompt’ dialogue screen appearing for only a split second then disappears, so I’m unable to type any commands.

 

Can anyone advise me as to how I can proceed to configure and get QuantLib up and running?

 

Many thanks,

 

Patrick

you have to run 'make.exe' from the command prompt in the QuantLib
directory: start the command prompt, cd to the QuantLib directory and type
"make". If you have configured Borland correctly you will then re-compile
the QuantLib library.

I don't want to be pessimistic, but if you're not confident with C++ and/or
the Borland compiler it is going to be quite hard...

Hi Nando,

I was wondering what is the development environment most of the quantlib
developers are using?
Microsoft or Borland?

Regards
Daniel

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and GNU/GCC.

I also use the free Borland command line compiler, mainly to check
cross-compiler portability

So to build this thing, I just open the .dsw file in VC++ 6.0 and run
build all.
Takes about 10mins (on 733hz).

Does that sound right?
Anything else I should be doing?

I think so. Library+test-suite in about 3 mins on my 2.6-GHz box.

yes

a) you might run the example, just to see if they're OK.
b) you should run the test-suite, but this will require that you download,
install, and compile cppunit, the test-suite framework we currently use.
Then you will be able to link our test-suite with both the QuantLib library
and cppunit and make it run.
