Hi Luigi,

I've recently figured out how to build and run QuantLib-SWIG x64 under Release and Debug mode for C# using the Visual Studio C++ 2013 (vc120) compiler. I realized that not only do the include and library directory paths must be correct for both Boost and QuantLib, but those two applications must also have their output DLLs placed in appropriate directories. After I better reorganized these locations to separate x64/x86 for Release and Debub mode, I was successful in running all versions in VS 2013. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure this was the final push to provide me with a valid build, but after repeating the process laid out below I have been able to run it fine. Below are the work instructions I followed.

Download Boost, QuantLib, and QuantLib-SWIG
Build Boost in 64-bit through the command line (see http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/more/getting_started/windows.html)

Also, see first result from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2322255/64-bit-version-of-boost-for-64-bit-windows, and replace --toolset=msvc-9.0 with --toolset=msvc-12.0 (or appropriate msvc version)

Open a QuantLib solution
In Property Manager->QuantLib, add main boost directory (e.g., C:\boost\boost_1_58_0) to VC++ Directories->Include Directories and add boost library directory (e.g., C:\boost\boost_1_58_0\lib\<platform>\lib, where platform is either Win32 or x64) to VC++ Directories->Library Directories

In regards to the platform option for the library path, the appropriate path needs to be set for all Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user and Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user settings

Open QuantLib->Properties, and under Configuration Properties->General with Configuration set to "All Configurations" and Platform set to "All Platforms" set Output Directory to ".\lib\$(Platform)\" and Intermediate Directory to ".\build\$(qlCompilerTag)\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\", if not already done so
Set the Active Solution Platform in the Configuration Manager to x64
Build the QuantLib project under both Release and Debug mode
Add to your system environmental variables QL_DIR and set it to the QuantLib installation directory (e.g., C:\QuantLib-1.6)
Under QuantLib-SWIG C# installation directory, run swig.cmd
Open a QuantLib-SWIG C# solution
In Property Manager->NQuantLibc, add QuantLib library directory (e.g., C:\QuantLib-1.6\lib\<platform>", where platform is either Win32 or x64) to Linker->Additional Library Directories
Open NQuantLibc->Properties, and under Configuration Properties->General with Configuration set to "All Configurations" and Platform set to "All Platforms" set Output Directory to "bin\$(qlCompilerTag)\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\" and Intermediate Directory to "build\$(qlCompilerTag)\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\", if not already done so
Open NQuantLib->Properties, and under Build->Output with Configuration set to "Release" and Platform set to "x64" set Output Path to "bin\x64\Release\", if not already done so, and, if you want, repeat for all setting combinations of Configuration and Platform
Set the Active Solution Platform in the Configuration Manager to x64
Build the NQuantLib project under both Release and Debug mode

To test whether or not this process produced for you valid 64-bit DLLs, run the BermudanSwaption and EquityOption projects provided in the QuantLib-SWIG solution. Before doing this, be sure that the NQuantLibc and NQuantLib DLLs are correctly referenced in Properties->Build Events->Pre-Build Event Command Line. Mine look like

copy "$(SolutionDir)cpp\bin\$(qlCompilerTag)\$(Platform)\$(ConfigurationName)\NQuantLibc.dll" "$(TargetDir)"
copy "$(SolutionDir)csharp\bin\$(Platform)\$(ConfigurationName)\NQuantLib.dll" "$(TargetDir)"

Maybe you could attempt this as well and see if you achieve the same results. Also, there be some settings that I forgot to mention that might lead to unsuccessful builds. Either way, I will post a more descriptive answer to the thread I created in quantlib-users.

Best,

Grant

Hello,
I'm afraid I can't help here, as I have little experience with the Windows builds apart from trying them on a virtual machine before release.
In fact, you got further than I did: I didn't get x86 to work in Release either. Did you have to change anything to make it work, or did it work for you out of the box?

Thanks,
Luigi

Hello,

I recently setup QuantLib-SWIG 1.6 for C# using the Visual Studio 2012
compiler (vc120), and I'm very happy that I can finally use QuantLib 1.6 in
our Visual Studio 2013 C# solutions. I'm able to run the BermudanSwaption
and EquityOption examples under the Win32 platform in Debug and Release
mode, but for the x64 platform I'm only able to run in Release mode.

The thing is, I need it to be able to run in Debug mode when using the x64
platform. Unfortunately, when running x64/Debug with debugging (F5) I get
the following TypeInitializationException

The type initializer for 'QuantLib.NQuantLibcPINVOKE' threw an exception.

and under the same settings without debugging (Ctrl+F5) I get

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type
initializer for 'QuantLib.NQuantLibcPINVOKE' threw an
exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for
'SWIGExceptionHelper' threw an exception. -

I have read other solutions to this problem, like checking to see if the
proper Library Dependencies are set and setting the platform properly, but
these solutions didn't help as I have already implemented them. I even
rebuilt Boost and QuantLib 1.6 under the x64/Debug configurations, but this
still didn't help.

Is there anyone that could help me out with this issue? This is rather
critical for me and I can't seem to figure it out. I should be able to give
you any other information you request.

Thanks in advance.
