[Quantlib-dev] QuantLibXL_full_vc10 incremental linking limit exceeded

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi Eric,
some more feed back on building the QuantLib 1.1 release candidates in
case it helps.

Last night I downloaded the latest install set from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/quantlib/files/prerelease/

On my Windows XP,  Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition, Boost 1.46.1
platform I built the QuantLibXL_full_vc10 solution. I got the following
error during the linking phase at the end of the:-

LINK : fatal error LNK1210: exceeded internal ILK size limit; link with
/INCREMENTAL:NO

I resolved this by:-
Opening the Property Pages for the QuantLibXLStatic project.
Expanding the Configuration Properites->Linker->General folder.
Setting the "Enable Increment Linking" property to "No
(/INCREMENTAL:NO)"

After that change the build ran to successful completion.

I recall Microsoft have a workaround to when the .ilk file exceeds some
limit (something like ~256Mb or ~384Mb) so when I get a moment I'll
implement that workaround and then reinstate incremental linking.
