Quantlib/ Visual Studio.Net

[Nehal Patel]

Hi,

     A few questions about using VS Studio.Net...

 

The quantlib project doesn't include vs.net solution/project files.  Is the reason for that it is tedious to keep the vc6 and vc7 files synchronized or just that no one has had an interest as of yet...  Incidentally, how do you manage to keep the various makefiles in sync with the visual studio projects?

 

Also, I will be upgrading to vs2003 in a few days and supposedly it has a much more compliant template implementation.  I know the msvc config files currently have some special provisions of ms templates.  I would happy to assist in properly tweaking the config file for VS2003.

The reason is much simpler. None of us has a copy of VC7...

As for the VC6 makefiles, it's done automatically by the VC IDE. The
Borland and GNU makefiles are updated manually (as is the VC6 project, for
that matters.)

In a few days I'll be in vacation :) But I'll be happy to see your findings
when I get back...
