quantlib 0.9.6 + boost 1.36.0: error in building quantlibXL

[tw813]

Hi all,

While I was trying to build quantlib 0.9.6 with boost 1.36.0 already built in my computer using boostpro installer, I encounter the following error in linking:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-s-1_36.lib'.  

I have included the boost path.  In fact, when I check boost/lib directory, I cannot find this library. I cannot find  

libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-1_36.lib
libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-gd-1_36.lib
libboost_serialization-vc80-s-1_36.lib
libboost_serialization-vc80-sgd-1_36.lib

When I used the boostpro installer, I clicked all possible lib variants to be installed.  I check boost 1.35.0, which in fact has 'libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-s-1_35.lib'.  

Could anyone please kindly tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it?  Please take into account I am an extremely newbie in quantlib and C++.

best,

TW813

If you are using Visual Studio, you need to go the Properties dialog of the QuantLib project. There go the Configuration Properties->Librarian-->General-->Additional Library Directories settings. Then tell Visual Studio where the boost libraries are in your computer.

It seems like some kind of glitch in your Boost installation. I'm not
sure how to fix this. However, if you use the "Release CRTDLL"
configuration instead of "Release" in the QuantLib solution, it will
look for libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-1_36.lib which you have.

P.S. You're building QuantLibXL, not QuantLib, right? QuantLib doesn't
need Boost.Serialization...
