Cannot find QuantLibAddinCalc.idl?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of building QuantLib on openSuse 12.2 x86_64. I am
following the tutorial at

http://quantlib.org/quantlibaddin/build_cpp.html

and I am succeeding as far as running the CPP test client QLADemo (as
given under section "3.4 Test").

As basis for the build I am using

gensrc-1.2.0.tar.gz
ObjectHandler-1.2.0.tar.gz
QuantLibAddin-1.2.0.tar.gz
log4cxx-0.10.0d.tar.gz
QuantLib-1.2.1.tar.gz

The ultimate goal is to build the addin for Calc and hence I was
following the tutorial at

http://quantlib.org/quantlibaddin/build_calc.html

and have set everything up including the environment variables and PATH
variable as described. Unfortunately, that's where my progress stops as
I am not able to find the mentioned QuantLibAddinCalc.idl anywhere.

In some posts I found on the web it mentioned that one has to set option
--enable-addin-calc while running configure for project QuantLibAddin,
but this option seems not to be supported by configure for version 1.2.
I ran then configure with option --enable-addin-all. But still no luck.

Is QuantLibAddinCalc.idl generated during the build process or is it
just plain missing in the distributed tar ball? What am I missing?


Thank you for your help

Marc


PS: Just as a side note. I think all spreadsheet applications apart from
MS Excel are failing in the business environment because there is no
simple way to port the addins compatible with Excel to the other
spreadsheet applications (like OO Calc, LO Calc, Gnumeric, etc). With
the approach taken for the QuantLibAddin package my hopes have risen to
find a fairly automated way to overcome such obstacles... Am I mistaken?
