[Quantlib-dev] Compiling quantlib on Solaris X86 using Workshop

[<Pau...@de...>]

Hello!

We compiled quantlib on a SunOS 5.10, using Sun Workshop 12.2 (cc: Sun C 
5.11 SunOS_i386 2010/08/13) for 64bit.
We used the latest boost  (1.53.0).
Our configure was not special:
./configure --with-boost-include=../boost_1_53_0 
--with-boost-lib=../boost_1_53_0/libs

However we used:
CXXFLAGS=-library=stlport4 -m64

We managed to compile the lib, but had to do some changes:
a) includes
We had to include "math.h and stdlib.h" to cpicoupon.cpp

We had to include math.h to:
riskyassetswapoption.cpp
blackdeltacalculator.cpp
cpicapfloorengines.cpp
zigguratrng.cpp
analyticvariancegammaengine.cpp
fftvanillaengine.cpp
fftvariancegammaengine.cpp
cpiswap.cpp
cpibond.cpp
analyticgjrgarchengine.cpp
seasonality.hpp

b) Unresolved external
We had a problem with the linker for 
const long *const PrimitivePolynomials[N_MAX_DEGREE];

 coming from "primitivepolynonimals.h" / "primitivepolynominals.c"

Somehow the linker didn't linke the function to the sobolrsg.cpp
Couldn't find out why, but the nm-command showed the symbol twice: once 
defined and once undefined. 

After changing the file to .hpp and .cpp all worked fine.

We addidionaly compiled the Swig for java, because we'll call from java to 
calc theo option prices.
For java we additionaly had to include -Kpic for the linker.

I wanted to let you know of the these problems.
Maybe there is a better way or maybe the ql can be adepted? I think the 
changes don't harm for other compilers?

(By the way: we didn't have any problems on Windows)

And thanx for the great work. We're using the lib only in a sample up to 
now, but that might change in the future...

Best regards,
Paul Rädle
