Hi all
Funny, looks like I have an orthogonal set of problems.

My kit:
QuantLib-1.0b1
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 1.5.18(0.132/4/2)

gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4

boost_1_41_0

doxygen 1.6.2

----
./configure  --with-boost-include=/cygdrive/c/Boost/boost_1_41_0/

--with-boost-lib=/cygdrive/c/Boost/boost_1_41_0/stage/lib/
make

gcc took ages, but life as usual.
The QL lib and the examples build ok (no errs no warns). All the examples run
fine. Linking the test-suite reports missing refs though:

======================================================

I always had problems with the test-suite (and other boost libs that require
compilation). This time I managed to get the unit test framework built with a
dirty hack of
'boost/test/execution_monitor.ipp'
nm of the boost test libs looks fine but I will blame the missing ref to the
change I made.

I still have to try harder but how do you build boost under cygwin? Or someone
else, Nando? I have seen in the archives some of you managed to built on cygwin
without problems.

I have also generated the docs ok. Some classes (e.g. see
SpreadedSwaptionVolatility and
SwaptionVolatilityDiscrete but not ConstantSwaptionVolatility) are not shown
in the class hierarchy. Is it possible to add just one quick line or change
the doxy settings so it generates docs? For instance, in that same example
looks like SwaptionVolatilityStructure only had one derived class.

Ill try to continue playing with it over the weekend and possibly upgrade gcc
