Quantlib installation

[Dixit-2]

Hi,

 

I am trying to build Quantlib on my PC. I have installed boost as required. However, I am having sertious problems compiling it.

It says that the <boost/config.hpp> is not a valid directory? I am using Visual Studios 2005 Express Edition for C++ Beta 2 release. How do I set C:\quantlib\qt\boost to be included as a header library directory?

 

 

Kind Regards,

Rahul Dixit

I had the same problem, and it took quite a bit of googling to find  
out. You'll have to apply the workaround described in

I believe that you can add additional "include" directories in the project
properties. (project -> properties -> configuration properties -> C/C++ ->
general). That's how I did add the boost directory to the project.

Hope it helps,

Dirk

Yes, that works too. But it has to be repeated every time you download  
a new release.
On the bright side, Microsoft might be releasing the final VC8 express  
soon...
