QuantLibXL Linking Problems

[Rahul Gupta]

Hi all,

I've been trying to build QuantLibXL for the last couple of days, but although I can build it dynamically (Release CRTDLL), whatever I do, I can't get the static DLL to compile.  All of my directories are stripped of version number (i.e. path\QuantLib path\ObjectHandler, etc), I have the boost/quantlib directories in my include settings, and I have tried to compile using various projects - QuantLibXL (the normal and all static solution), QuantLibAddin, and the individual QLXL solution.  Unfortunately they all fail with the same error, which is as below:

4>   Creating library .\buildStatic\vc80\Release/QuantLibAddinStatic-vc80-mt-s-0_9_0.lib and object .\buildStatic\vc80\Release/QuantLibAddinStatic-vc80-mt-s-0_9_0.exp

If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be extremely grateful.   My only thought is that I have been passing custom flags to gensrc, as I do not have doxygen installed.

Thanks in advance!

When you say static DLL, I think you mean that you want to
compile QuantLibXL with configuration Release, i.e. you want an
XLL into which the Microsoft runtime libraries are statically
linked?

Instructions for doing exactly that can be found here:

If you follow the tutorial mentioned above, then you only need
to use one solution, QuantLibAllStatic_vc8.sln.

If you follow the tutorial, there is no need for you to have
doxygen installed on your machine, and no need to make any
changes to the gensrc settings.

Eric

Hi Eric,

You are correct with regards to the build option, by static I was referring to Release rather than Release DLL.

I can assure you that the very first thing I did was read the tutorial, and nevertheless I was having some major problems with the aforementioned error.  Strangely enough, after I did a full rebuild (starting from the QL base library itself), the error somehow fixed itself.  I can only guess at this point, that errors were due to some 'dirty' object files being mis-linked somehow.

Best wishes,

Rahul
