Test 0.3.14 tarballs

[Luigi Ballabio]

Hi all,
        I've uploaded test tarballs for the upcoming 0.3.14 release to
<http://quantlib.org/prerelease/>.  If you have some spare cycles,
please test them on your box.  Don't bother testing Visual 6 at this
point, I haven't made it work yet (and on a related note, I'd drop VC6
and Borland 5.5 support from the release after this one---objections?)

Thanks,
        Luigi

Builds fine on Debian testing, without even requiring any changes other than
s/0.3.13/0.3.14/ in a few of the packaging files.  Took forever (72 minutes)
to build, though.  I guess I need a better computer.

Builds fine under Xcode 2.4 (compiled for intel), Mac OS X 10.4.8.
Test suite runs to completion without error.

Nice to know. I'm a Mac user myself, but I haven't tried Xcode yet (I
stuck to the "./configure; make" dance.)  Two questions:
1) Does Xcode use project files and such? Should we include them into
the distributed tarball?
2) Did you happen to experience the problem described at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1581325&group_id=12740&atid=112740>?
Do you have any idea on what's going on?

Thanks,
        Luigi

Xcode does use project files called *.xcode
I haven't used it extensively either as ./configure and make have also
worked fine for me. Xcode does have a fairly nice editor and IDE.

People,

I have tried my batch build (VC2005 Express) and almost everything worked fine.

All projects but QuantLibXL compiled, but this misses QuantLibXL_vc8.sln,
that is fixed in my batch build. So I can´t generate a new xll version.

QuantLib Test Suite finished in 20 min whitout any test failure but it
presented a strange behavior for me. It did not show messages test by test.
Just "Running 273 test cases..." and final one messages.

Regards.

r.e. #1) below..   Xcode creates a structure like so:

$ find QuantLibMac -print
QuantLibMac
QuantLibMac/build/  ...snip snip... all the build products go here
QuantLibMac/QuantLibMac.xcodeproj
QuantLibMac/QuantLibMac.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj # primary project file
QuantLibMac/QuantLibMac.xcodeproj/jeff.mode1 # user-specific xcode  
preferences
QuantLibMac/QuantLibMac.xcodeproj/jeff.pbxuser # more user-specific  
xcode preferences

So really all we would need to add would be the QuantLibMac.xcodeproj  
folder, containing the single project.pbxproj file.
After installation, you'd need to tweak the project (through the GUI)  
to configure the search paths for installed boost headers and libs  
and so forth.
If anyone is interested in testing the feasibility/portability of  
this, I'd be happy to mail the project.pbxproj to them.

r.e. #2) I hadn't gotten around to the Examples yet... I'll try that  
tomorrow and let you know what I find.
One caveat -- I did end up building/linking QuantLib as a static  
library, after having some runtime errors
when built/linked in as a dynamic library.    Will retry the dynamic  
library build when I get some time...

hi piter

> All projects but QuantLibXL compiled, but this misses QuantLibXL_vc8.sln,

i added QuantLibXL_vc8.sln to QuantLibXL-src-0.3.14.exe and uploaded
the file again, i'd be grateful if you could re-run your test.

if you'd like to send me your batch file i'll include it in the release.

regards,
eric

Eric,

This time QuantLibXL misses the QuantLibXL_vc8.vcproj file.

Are you sure?  I just double checked and it looks OK:

- I download
    http://quantlib.org/prerelease/QuantLibXL-src-0.3.14.exe
  (2,904,744 bytes)
- I install the contents to c:\test\QuantLibXL
- and I see the file at
    C:\test\QuantLibXL\qlxl\QuantLibXL_vc8.vcproj

How does that work for you?

Thanks,
Eric

You can modify the verbosity of the Boost unit-test framework by means
of either environment variables or command lines---see
<http://boost.org/libs/test/doc/components/utf/parameters/index.html>.

Namely, setting BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=message will cause messages to be
shown.

Later,

Looking again I notice that the Visual Studio Project GUIDs are out of
step between the QLXL .sln and .vcproj files, this doesn't cause a
problem for the Visual Studio IDE but might for your DOS batch script?

I corrected the problem and updated QuantLibXL-src-0.3.14.exe.

Eric

So someone using Xcode would just tell the IDE to open the project,
right?

This is a bit inconvenient. Doesn't the IDE have some global settings
for include and lib dirs, regardless of the project?

I'd give it a try, but I have 10.3 on my Mac. Do you know if the
previous Xcode vversion can open youur project?

Yes, we had this problem for a long time on OS X (even when compiling
via configure/make.) Let me know if you make any progress.

Thanks,
