Re: [Quickfix-developers] Quickfixengine Ruby inherently unstable?

[Toli K. <to...@ma...>]

We've been using QuickFIX bindings for Ruby at Marketcetera for a
while, we built them off rev 1844, which has been at least a year ago.

We haven't had any issues with our process. Admittedly, we use a
subset of QF functionality - Marketcetera open source trading platform
is based on QuickFIX/J - but we certainly use Ruby to deal with QF
messages.

We've documented the process for building QF bindings for Ruby at
http://www.marketcetera.org/confluence/display/MDN/Build+Quickfix
There are instructions for Windows, Linux and Mac

You'll need to register (free) at http://www.marketcetera.com/contacts/register

Hope this helps.
