Re: [Quantlib-dev] x64 build fix for VS2008 solution project (QuantLib 0.9.9 w/ Boost 1.41)

[Craig M. <cra...@ya...>]

Hi Nando,
I'm happy to be of some help.  I've attached details, but in short:

1. One of the two problems are now fixed in the trunk.  The remaining build 
error has to do with the 'Debug x64' config which should have optimization 
disabled (i.e., Configuration Properties | C/C++ | Optimization | 
Optimization: Disabled (/Od) ).  To make all the debug configs the same, I 
would recommend setting the 'Inline Function Expansion to Default'.

2. Adding a folder in the solution is done by right clicking on the solution 
and selecting Add | New Solution Folder.  I use this approach to organize 
projects in a way similar to their physical layout on the drive.  Once the 
folder is create double click on it to rename 'Example' and then Cntr + 
click on each example project (to select) and drag them to the Example 
folder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While I have your ear, I have a few questions:
Q1. What is the best process for submitting this type of stuff (i.e., bug 
fix suggestions)?
Q2. Is the way I've done it acceptable (i.e., bug report with suggested 
fix)?
Q3. I'm interested in being a QL developer, any suggestions on what steps to 
take in accomplishing this?

BTW, I am in the process of creating 'Quant Portfolio Library (QP-Lib)' 
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/qp-lib/) with the idea of complimenting 
QuantLib so becoming a developer on QL would help me minimize my work by not 
trying to duplicate any of the great code that already exists.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Regards,
cm
