Quantlib and VC++ 6

[alessandro.nardi]

Hi All,
is it possibile to use QuantLib 0.9.0 with Visual C++ 6?
I read that this compiler is no longer supported starting with release 0.4.0.
Anyone could patch this?

Thanks,

Alessandro Nardi

Hi Alessandro,
        unfortunately, parts of the library (most notably, the Monte Carlo
framework) uses C++ features such as template template arguments that
are not supported by VC6.  In order to patch it, one would have to
change the declarations for most of its functionality, as well as the
code that calls it---or if you're not interested in Monte Carlo, remove
that part of the library.  In either case, I don't think I would include
such a patch in the main repository.

Sorry,
        Luigi
