QuoteOriginally posted by: Da0udIf u want u can download the zip file and you'll get the screenshot in it.daoudYou're not in the proper step.First you have to build the quantilib library in your computer. Thats where you are right now (the .jpg file).Now close your project and create a new one. Follow the insctructions (Adding boost dir and quantlib library), and try runniing one of the examples (just select one and copy and past at your main.cpp file).

Is it normal to see Visual C++ compiling during a very long time (still not done) and to see it compiling each cpp file ?

QuoteNo its, not. This is a virus, control+alt+del now!!!Sorry but i'm not that dumb. It's just that i'm not used to use microsoft softwares and to program on windows (i've always learnt on linux...).But as i'm going to become soon a quant (i hope, as i'm doing the financial mathematics master in Paris VI (el karoui)). So i think i will have to use visual c++ soon, so i shoulda be used to it !!Thank u - and still compiling...

Okay it seems to be good with quantlib compilation.I'm compiling the other files : Swap, Repo, Replicant, etc...It compiles because at the end it says "sucess"How ever during the compilation, i've those line (a small part of all the lines):1>------ Début de la génération : Projet : testsuite, Configuration : Debug CRTDLL Win32 ------2>------ Début de la génération : Projet : Replication, Configuration : Debug CRTDLL Win32 ------2>Compilation en cours...1>Compilation en cours...1>volatilitymodels.cpp2>Replication.cpp2>Will (need to) link to lib file: QuantLib-vc80-mt-gd-0_8_1.lib1>varianceswaps.cppAnd this is the line i don"t understand :2>Will (need to) link to lib file: QuantLib-vc80-mt-gd-0_8_1.libShoud i deal awith it by linking it someway ?Thank again and again !daoud

QuoteShoud i deal awith it by linking it someway ?I think you'll have to tell MV where to find the quantlib library file (the one produced at compilation).Is that it ? Are the examples running ? Also, there should be an instalation guide at the quantlib page. Take a look over it. If I could do it using just it, so can u.

QuoteRTFM = "read the fantastic manual " ?? Almost; 3 out of 4 words correct. The full phrase "IF ALL ELSE FAILS, RTFM"Seriously, this thread should have been resolved many posts ago. It's 101, and the same question was asked on this forum a few months ago. msperlinyou seem to be suggesting there is a FM in circulation. Where?
