QuantLib Installation in VC++ 2010:1>C:\local\boost_1_55_0\boost/config/select_stdlib_config.hpp(18): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cstddef': No such file or directory

[itneophyte85]

Hi all,

Having set up all the include and Library directories correctly in VC++ 2010 Express, I am wondering why the solution can't be built

C:\local\boost_1_55_0 (for include)
C:\local\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib (for librairies)

what strikes me the most is that cstddef does exist in C:\local\boost_1_55_0\boost\pending

Hope that someone can provide me with some assistance on this matter.

Cheers

Not sure whether this will help, but for a while I struggled to build Quantlib, because I never explicitly saved the project file after referencing the boost directories. Coming from a C# background I was used to the project and solution file auto-saving whenever I did a build. The error that i got was a different one though.

cstddef should be a standard header, not one in Boost (pending or
otherwise). It comes with the compiler. Did you _add_ the Boost
directories to the include path, or did you _replace_ the directories
that were there?

Hi Francois,

Thanks for the suggestion, however I am still getting the same error message. will keep on investigating although I have spent too much time on this matter.

Cheers

[itneophyte85]

Hi Luigi,

Thanks for the reply. I did replace the default directories by adding from VC++ Directories C:\local\boost_1_55_0 for the include directory & C:\local\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib for the library's one.
Having followed meticulously the instructions on http://quantlib.org/install/vc10.shtml., I am a bit confused now.

cheers

[Luigi Ballabio]

You shouldn't *replace* the default directories. You should *add* the
Boost directories to the default directories (that you'll keep, or the
compiler won't find its own standard headers).

Hey Luigi,

I think there is a misunderstanding and hope the below clarification will help:

In the property page window, I clicked on VC++ Directories on the left pane and *add* the paths for the Boost directories in Include Directories and Library Directories in the right pane. as I installed Boost in *C:\local\boost_1_55_0*, i added C:\local\boost_1_55_0 to the include directories and *C:\local\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib* to the library directories. I Clicked the OK button to set my changes.

Eventually my setup is as follows:

*Executable directories* (=default):$(VCInstallDir)bin;$(WindowsSdkDir)bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools;$(WindowsSdkDir)bin;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\Tools\bin;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\tools;$(VSInstallDir)Common7\ide;$(ProgramFiles)\HTML Help Workshop;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\bin;$(MSBuildToolsPath32);$(VSInstallDir);$(SystemRoot)\SysWow64;$(FxCopDir);$(PATH);
*Include directories* (=added):C:\local\boost_1_55_0\boost;$(IncludePath)
*reference libraires* (=default):$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(VCInstallDir)lib
*librairy directories* (=added) C:\local\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib;$(LibraryPath)
*source directories* (=default):$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\src\mfc;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\src\mfcm;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\src\atl;$(VCInstallDir)crt\src;
*exclude directories*(=default):$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSdkDir)include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\include;$(MSBuildToolsPath32);$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(VCInstallDir)lib;

Can't figure out anything wrong since the instructions are pretty much straightforward. aren't they?

I am also wondering if it's normal to read the below warning messages from the output box when i open the QuantLib_vc10.sln (before building the solution)

Brillant Luigi. I've finally managed to add my incl. & lib path while keeping the default one and it does work. your comment also helped me to sort out another error - *LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc100-mt-gd-1_55.lib'*. In a nutshell, all done now in vc++ 2010 and thank you for the help.
cheers

[Luigi Ballabio]

Glad to hear it. What was the solution? Is there anything we should add to the instructions?

Luigi

Luigi,

the solution has consisted of adding in

Include Directory: C:\local\boost_1_55_0_2;$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSdkDir)include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\include;

Library Directory:
C:\local\boost_1_55_0_2\stage\lib;$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(WindowsSdkDir)lib;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\lib

This guarantees the avoidance of  compiler issues in finding any file.hpp from either boost or the standard library.

Hope it helps

cheers

User from the C# background, after re-adding the default paths as suggested
below, don't forget to save the settings before compiling otherwise you will
get the same error !

That kept screwing with me too at first. There's a setting in Visual Studio to autosave on build for C++ projects too.
