That's a mistake in the document. It should say $(QL_DIR)\ql.
You need to manually set the environment variable QL_DIR to the top
level QuantLib directory. for example, on my machine, QuantLib is
installed to
C:\projects\QuantLib
and I've set the value of environment variable QL_DIR equal to the above string.

The documentation of the ObjectHandler directories is wrong, and all
the files you identify above are correct. We shuffled things around
and I forgot to update the document.

That I don't understand. Near the top of file
QuantLibAddin\qlo\couponvectors.cpp
it says
#include <ql/CashFlows/simplecashflow.hpp>
Which, assuming QL_DIR is set correctly, should cause you to pick up file
QuantLib\ql\CashFlows\simplecashflow.hpp
which of course contains the definition of SimpleCashFlow.
The #include of ql/CashFlows/simplecashflow.hpp must have succeeded
because otherwise the error message would have been
.\qlo\couponvectors.cpp(31) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include
file: 'ql/CashFlows/simplecashflow.hpp': No such file or directory
So I can't understand why the #include succeeded, but the compilation
failed. Is QL_DIR pointing to an older version of QuantLib or
something?
Apologies for the errors in the documentation, that will be fixed shortly.
Regards,
Eric
