How do I get started with Quantlib in DEV C++ on Windows XP?

1.Download the latest version of boost. For windows XP download file boost_1_33_1.exe (choose a newer version if diferent) from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586
2.Run the boost_1_33_1.exe and unpack it in a folder eg.,C:\program files
3.Download file QuantLib-0.4.0.zip (choose a newer version if diferent) from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12740
4.Unzip into a folder eg.,C:\program files
5.Launch Dev C++
6.Click on File->Open Project
7.Select file QuantLib.dev
8.selct menu Project->Project Options
9.select directories tab->select include directories tab within it
10.Enter C:\Program Files\boost_1_33_1 (assuming it was installed at path as in 2) and click on Add
11.click ok
12.Now ready for build. choose Execute->rebuild all
13.After build is complete, verify that file libQuantLib-mgw-0_4_0.a has been generated (must be in C:\Program Files\QuantLib-0.4.0\lib)

How do I use an Example project?

14.Close the Quantlib project.
15.Open BermudanSwaption.dev in Dev C++
16.Repeat steps 6-11 for this project
17.It is ready for build and should run

Just can't stay away Joined: 2007/3/21 From: Posts: 104	Re: QuantLib under Dev C++ Dear all, I also got the same error in Quantklib-0.8 though it works with Quantlub-0.4 I was getting a dialog saying 'Could not create makefile : I/O error 32' and the above mentioned error in command output I guess that it is because the Dev C++ IDE is built in Delphi, and Delphi throws strange I/O errors sporadically when opening projects using File->Open Project Following worked for me: 1.Closed all open Dev C++ IDEs on my box 2.Closed all open windows explorers 3.Opened a new windows explorer 4.Navigated to QuantLib-0.8.0 folder. Deleted all makefile.* files 5.Double-clicked the Quantlib.dev file 6.Dev C++ IDE gotlaunched with Quantlib project opened 7.Waited for 10 secs for project loading to settle down. 8. Clicked on "Execute -> rebuild All", and it worked Not all above steps might be necessary . Pl. suggest your comments, I would be interested if the above fix worked for you too.

Just popping in Joined: 2009/2/22 From: Posts: 1	Re: QuantLib under Dev C++ Hi all, I had just the same error message and the suggestion above seemed to work at some extent. At the end of the process I had this message: 4:59 C:\Users\VIP Guest\Downloads\QuantLib-0.9.7\QuantLib_private.rc no include path in which to search for windows.h 13 C:\Users\VIP Guest\Downloads\QuantLib-0.9.7\QuantLib_private.rc [Resource error] syntax error line 13 being: FILETYPE VFT_STATIC_LIB Regarding the error msg, windows.h is in Dev-Cpp\include\ which is already in the project's options (include directories tab)...so I don't understand why I'm getting this error??? Anyone experienced this before? thanks, ben

	How can I get start with Quantlib in DEV C++ / Windows XP? Hello. I have a problem that i can't resolve. I need to compile a file.cpp Called Bonds, that calls QuantLib-1.2 library and boost_1_47. I use windows XP and Dev C++. So i followed the procedure that is described here to link QuantLib in dev C++. I followed all steps, i think that these steps are valid also for QuantLib-1.2 and boost_1_47 and not only for QuantLib-0.4.0 and boost_1_33. I started the process of rebuild that, after a time of half an hour, is succeded without problems. I created the project called Bonds, then i created the source file, copied the code of my interest and then i saved the source as Bonds.cpp (is written in C++ istruction and i can't save it as Bonds.c). After this i closed dev C++ and reopened clicking on Bonds.dev file. At this point i made Execute/Compile, but compiler tells me that can't find Makefile.win. The message is : C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win [Build Error] No rule to make target Why can i solve this problem?
