RE: QuantLibXL, XLW problems: Not a valid add-In

[Aurelien Chanudet-2]

Thanks to Sid for asking and thanks to nando for
answering. I seem to
remember that someone also suggested building
QuantLibXL as a static
library. How do I set up VC++ to build a static
library ?

Thanks,
Aurelien

I think you want to know about building QuantLibXL as an XLL (i.e. a
DLL) which is linked statically rather than dynamically to the
run-time library (as opposed to building QuantLibXL as a static
library).

You can build a project as an
- executable
- static library
- DLL

Independently of that decision, you link your project to one of three
versions of the run-time library:
- single-threaded (static)
- multithreaded (static)
- multithreaded (DLL)

(Each of the three above is available as debug and release.)

To link to a static version of the run-time library - in VC6 you would
go to Project/Settings/C++/Code Generation, and under run-time library
choose single-threaded or multi-threaded, debug or release, as
appropriate.
