[Quantlib-dev] Installation of Quantlib 0.9.9 fails under cygwin (gcc 4.3.4)

[Richard S. <st...@ha...>]

I just downloaded Quantlib 0.9.9 and am trying to install it using the latest version of cygwin/gcc under Windows Vista (cygwin 1.7.1, gcc version 4.3.4). I have boost 1.41.0 installed, and ./configure finds this OK and runs to completion.

Unfortunately, when I then run "make", the compilation seems to run fine for quite some while, but dies at the following point:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -g -O2   -o libExperimental.la

The only slightly odd thing during the configuration phase that might be relevant was the following:

checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output from gcc object... failed

Thanks for checking into this.
