QuantlibXL/XLW with GCC

[Erik Schlogl]

Hi,

I've tried to compile QuantlibXL and XLW example projects with Dev-C++ (using MinGW/GCC as the compiler). After some minor modifications (such as #include-ing <stdexcept> where needed) the example code will compile. However, Excel crashes when I try to add-in the resulting DLL. Does anyone have any experience using Dev-C++ to compile QuantlibXL/XLW? Maybe I'm getting some of the compiler settings wrong...

Regards,
Erik

Hi Erik

I did that too for xlw and its own xlw-example. Dev-C++ project files are
in the current xlw CVS

the problem is not a QuantLibXL problem, it is an xlw problem indeed. I had
similar crashes with xlw-example.

You might want to check the current xlw CVS code, and try to fix the
problems with xlw/xlw-example. Once xlw-example is up and working I bet all
QuantLibXL problem will be solved too.
