Re: [Quantlib-dev] QuantLib linking causes debugger crash on OS X whether QuantLib used or not.

[Tamas S. <ta...@ao...>]

Hello Keith,

you did not install QuantLib to its default location eg : /usr/local/lib

please go to your QuatLib folder:
cd /Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7

and type:
sudo make install 
(after giving your password the libs will be installed)
and compile your source with :

g++ -o qlTest  -g -I/usr/local/include qlTest.cpp -L/usr/local/lib  -lQuantLib

OR

if you don't want to install system wide (no need password) do:
cd /Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7
../configure --prefix=/Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7/build
make
make install

the QuantLib libs will be in : /Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7/build/libs
and the includefiles will be in : /Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7/build/includes

so compile your code with:

g++ -o qlTest  -g -I/Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7/build/includes qlTest.cpp -L/Users/kw/MyC++/QuantLib-0.9.7/build/libs -lQuantLib

I hope this will help,

Best,

Tamas
