[Quantlib-dev] Could you define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION for basic_filesystem_error backward compatibility?

[Piter D. <pit...@pi...>]

Guys, 

I had to setup my development environment from scratch (hd
formatting) and got an error that says basic_filesystem_error is not
member of boost::filesystem while compiling QuantLibXL. I believe the
problem was on "ohxllib". 

This is due to a new default option of Boost
1.46 and upwards. It uses Filesystem library version 3 by default while
QuantLib is compatible with version 2. 

The issue is easily solved by
the code below 

#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2 

as explained in
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/filesystem/v3/doc/index.htm
[1]. 

Perhaps you guys want to add this piece of code somewhere in
order to control QuantLib/Boost compatibility. 

Regards,
