Re: Linking problem with the test suite

 
Hello,
 
You can not change a .lib filename (present in windows environnement) to a .a static library/archive filename, on Unix environnement.
I mean, .a filenames must not be present on windows environnement, and .lib names on Unix environnement. 
Rather than to change filenames (always a bad idea for me), you have to check your compiler options, name of dependent libraries like boost (.lib on windows) here and paths.

Cheers,
Philippe

Subject: [Quantlib-users] Linking problem with the test suite

Hi,

I've just installed QuantLib and I have a problem building the test-suite. I have built the examples without any problems. I use Dev-C++, the last version of Boost (1_35, but I have the same error with version 1_34) and QuantLib 0.9.0. 

At the beginning I got the message "cannot find -lboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-mt" so I changed the name of the library into "libboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-mt.a" (it was "boost_unit_test_framework-mgw34-mt-1_35.lib" before). Now I have the following message:   

variable 'vtable for boost::unit_test::unit_test_log_t' can't be auto-imported. Please read the documentation for ld's --enable-auto-import for details. 
...
[Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@... 
ld returned 1 exit status 

In Project Options>Parameters>Linker I have:

../lib/libQuantLib-mgw-0_9_0.a
-lboost_unit_test_framework-mgw-mt

I spent a lot of time looking on Internet, but did not manage to make it work. I would be very grateful if you could help me.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Elise
