quantlib & boost using cygwin

misiti3780 · May 30th, 2007, 10:40 pm

i looked on the boost site and it says it supports cygwin.i am assuming you should be able to compile quantlib using gcc (g++) and make in cygwin.does anyone have directions to performs these installs, or, if directions do not exist, can someone confirmthat it is possible.....i will eventually figure it out.misiti3780

I've not used Cygwin myself. You might try asking on the QuantLib mailing list though.Luigi

what do you use to compile quantlib?I used to use VS 6.0 but you guys no longer support it.I would prefer not to use microsoft products anyways.

About 2 years ago I successfully compiled Quantlib and Boost on Cygwin with gcc. There were some issues but they were resolved and messages were posted on the Quantlib list.
