Re: [Quantlib-users] Errors building QuantLib + SWIG 1.1 with msvc10

[Pavel <arc...@gm...>]

Dear Luigi,

Thank you for your reply.

Apparently I have found the reason of this problem. It took me quite some
time, so I would like to share this info.

Actually you were asking right questions. MS Compiler indeed misinterpreted
the input file. The problem with non-existent "Work.obj" file in compiler
was due to the problem with windows env. variables. I set up the name of the
directory (QL_DIR) with quotation marks, because I had long directory names
(including this magic "work" word). When I removed quotation marks,
everything started compiling normally. So this my random action led to
another random compiler error. I think it is good idea to insert this
warning information into installation instruction to the library.

Another problem, that I have faced later was .NET 4. Examples didn't work
well under debugger causing a crash like "stack out of synch error". At the
same time running EXE files of the examples worked perfectly. I have solved
this problem by switching to NET 3.5, which is my main platform anyway. I
hope this information is valuable.

Best regards,
Pavel.
