Hi Piter,

Eric will include this fix in the next release.
See the email:

Best regards,

Hi Kim,

Quoting Kim Kuen Tang [hidden email]:

The compilation of QLXL together with boost 1.46.1 seems to fail due to
the refactorization of

boost/filesystem/path.hpp

To overcome this one needs to define a macro

# define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2

at the beginning of the  serializationfactory.cpp file. This will
redirect the compiler to the correct file.

Big thanks for this fix, it will be included in the next release.

Kind Regards,
Eric

Guys,

I had to setup my development environment from scratch (hd formatting) and got an error that says basic_filesystem_error is not member of boost::filesystem while compiling QuantLibXL. I believe the problem was on "ohxllib".

This is due to a new default option of Boost 1.46 and upwards. It uses Filesystem library version 3 by default while QuantLib is compatible with version 2.

The issue is easily solved by the code below

#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2

as explained in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm.

Perhaps you guys want to add this piece of code somewhere in order to control QuantLib/Boost compatibility.

 

Regards,
