Hello Andrew
I built Quantlib using MinGW and Msys and encountered the same problem
you solution also helped me to get through the process. The only question
for me is not able to build test suite...I got following at the end of make install
Making install in test-suite
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/QuantLib-0.8.0/test-suite'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/QuantLib-0.8.0/test-suite'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
How do I build test-suite manually and How do I run it once I get the exe file
Best Regards,
Jing

Hi Matt,
I had the same problem. Cygwin seems to have a problem with the double slash at the beginning of
the
pathname //usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.a. I solved it by manually removing occurrences of "$(DESTDIR)/"
from the install-exec-hook and install-data-hook rules in ql/Makefile. If you then re-run "make install",
I think you'll find that it goes through.
The other problem I encountered is that "make examples" doesn't seem to work properly. I compiled the
example programs manually i.e.
g++ -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/include/ql -I/usr/include/boost-1_33_1/ -L/usr/local/lib BermudanSwaption.cpp -lQuantlib -o BermudanSwaption

Andy

Subject: [Quantlib-users] compiling/installing quantlib with cygwin
Hi everyone,
I'm looking at using quantlib for some of my work, but
am having a little trouble with compiling/installing. I'm using cygwin on windows XP. Following the instructions at http://quantlib.org/reference/install.html , I *believe* step 1 and 2 "./configure" and "make" worked successfully, but step 3 ("make install" ) generates the following error (after chugging along smoothly for a while):
make install-exec-hook
make[4]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/p/c_libs/QuantLib-0.8.1/ql'
mv //usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.a //usr/local/lib/libQuantLib-0.8.1.a
mv: cannot stat `//usr/local/lib/libQuantLib.a': No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [install-exec-hook] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/p/c_libs/QuantLib-0.8.1/ql'
make[3]: *** [install-exec-am] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/p/c_libs/QuantLib-0.8.1/ql'
make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/p/c_libs/QuantLib-0.8.1/ql'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving
directory `/cygdrive/p/c_libs/QuantLib-0.8.1/ql'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
I have only used cygwin in the past for compiling relatively simple python C extensions, so I am not too familiar with the details of a "complicated" build process like this. My end goal is to get the Python SWIG wrappers working so I can use quantlib in combination with scipy/numpy, and I suspect I will encounter one or two more hurdles before I finally get to that stage. I am probably missing something obvious here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more details are needed please let me know and I will be happy to provide as much info as I can. Thanks,
- Matt
