Summary: building QuantLib CVS under Cygwin

Initial Comment:
As per the INSTALL.txt one should run configure in the
directory.

But there does not seem to be a configure in the directory:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/quantlib/QuantLib/

When I run autoconf, I get these errors:

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.52
Written by David J. MacKenzie.
~/QuantLib
$ autoconf
configure.in:12: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.in:13: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:22: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.in:31: error: possibly undefined macro:
AM_CONDITIONAL

Do I need to have some more cygwin packages installed?

Thanks

The INSTALL.TXT is there to be distributed with the official
source tarball distribution. In the official source
distribution configure is available.

If you check out the source code from the CVS then you need
the GNU tools that developers use, and which are not
required to build QuantLib from tarballs. These are
automake, autoconf, libtool, GNU m4, GNU make, and others
which might escape me now. They all come with recent
GNU/Linux distributions, cygwin included.
To begin the build process from a CVS checkout, start with:

sh ./bootstrap

which will prepare the package for compilation. You can then
use ./configure and make in the usual way.

these info are available at http://quantlib.org/cvs.html

I currently compile QuantLib under cygwin, both tarball and CVS

Please let me know if this solves your problem

thank you for your feedback
