Using Quantlib in MS VC++

[Amir Johari Sulaiman]

Hi Quantlib

I have downloaded Quantlib Win32 version. I downloaded the full installation
exe file from the website. However when I open the Quantlib workspace and
compiling it, I encounter the problem

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "QuantLib_d.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

It seems that I don't have the QuantLib_d.lib file. Where can I get it? Im
sorry to ask this question because to some people this problem is a trivial
one but not to me. I think I am compiling all the source codes naively. Can
u tell me how to use Quantlib correctly. Thanks.

Regards
Amir

switch to the "Win32 Release" build configuration and you won't have this
problem, since the release version QuantLib.lib it's pre-compiled and
distributed with the installer

from http://quantlib.org/download.html#qlcpp download
QuantLib-0.3.1-debug.zip (10 MB, debug libraries)

You can even build the debug library yourself: switch to the "Win32 Debug"
build configuration, select the QuantLib project and build it. Then you can
build all the examples since they will find the QuantLib_d.lib that you
have just built.

I guess you are not that much familiar with C++ and/or Visual Studio ...
the latter is something you can learn easily, the former might be a major
obstacle.

good luck
