Re: [Quantlib-users] Quantlib, OH, QuantlibAddin environment variables.

[eric e. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi Joe,

- Those environment variables are required only at compile time, not at run=
 time
- In particular, QLA requires variables QL_DIR and OBJECT_HANDLER_DIR
when linking (at compile time) to the corresponding libraries.  The
variable QUANTLIBADDIN_DIR is not used at all, unless you have your
own projects which rely on it (sounds like you don't)
- The only run-time requirement regarding environment variables, is
that any required DLLs appear in your PATH.  For example your PATH
variable would usually include the directory C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and
you could copy the log4cxx DLL to that directory

We'll shortly be releasing QLA version 0.3.12 which will simplify
things further:
- The use of the log4cxx DLL is discontinued
- The release provides a binary installation of the QLA XLL, into
which all prerequisites have been statically linked, the
installation/use of this build doesn't rely on any environment
variables whatsoever

Very interested to hear that you're looking at the OpenOffice Calc
addin.  Please let me know how you get on with that.

Regards,
Eric
