I'm sorry, but I can't help you with mingw. I have, however, built QuantLib successfully using the Code::Blocks IDE. In fact, I prefer it because of its lower memory usage, but debugging is more difficult. In Code::Blocks, you can choose which compiler you want to use, and you can still choose Microsoft C++ compiler. I think the standalone compiler is part of the Microsoft Windows SDK download.

And although I haven't tried it, isn't there a free version of Microsoft Visual C++ (Express?) available?

Hello everybody,

after building boost 1.55 with mingw I failed to build QL 1.0 on a windows machine.

Hopefully, someone can help me out.
 

Here is what I did:

Using MSYS and executing the following snippet in the folder of QL:
configure --with-boost-include=c:/boost_1_55_0 --prefix=c:/somepath
make

But unfortunately make throws an error:

$ make
cd . && /bin/sh /home/Administrator/QuantLib-1.0/config/missing --run autoconf
/c/MinGW/bin/autoconf-2.68: line 501: /mingw/bin/autom4te-2.68: No such file or directory
/c/MinGW/bin/autoconf-2.68: line 501: exec: /mingw/bin/autom4te-2.68: cannot execute: No such file or directory
make: *** [configure] Error 1

Does anyone uses mingw in order to build QuantLib? (Un)fortunately, I dont have VS available. So I am forced to use another compiler and environment.

Many thanks
Stephan
