Hi, Ok I’ve made some progress in getting QuantLibXL to build… First, I have got QuantLib to build! Also, I have got QuantLibXL_basic to build. Although, this was a little painful… 1. I’m using VS2017 – so everything needs / gets upgraded when you open the solution files (or it refuses to build…). 2. Could you mention on the web page that the Boost headers & libraries need to be linked, via the project settings , in this way... "Include directories" : C:\local\boost_1_**_* "Library directories" : C:\local\boost_1_**_*\lib64-msvc-14.0 3. The required directory structure on the web page, https://www.quantlib.org/quantlibaddin/build_qlxl.html is not one that I could get working. According to the project solution the hierarchy should be… C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\gensrc (required only for the Full build) C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\log4cxx C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\ObjectHandler C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\QuantLib C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\QuantLibAddin C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\QuantLibXL It would be nice if the website could be updated to mention this & that the default extraction path of the associated projects of C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\ObjectHandler\ObjectHandler is one level too long and needs to be changed to C:\build_ql_1_12_0\QuantLibXL\ObjectHandler 4. Some of the subprojects build’s target files have “vc140” hardcoded into them. But not all, some use $(qlCompilerTag) to build their target name! For my set up (VS2017) $(qlCompilerTag) => “vc141”, so my linker couldn’t find the files it was looking for (the ones with hardcoded names). The Fix, is to either edit the target files’ properties and re-hardcode to vc141. Not a long term good idea… OR add the *.props file to the subprojects that need them & then update the target name in the project settings to use the $(qlCompilerTag). This solution is long term better, but I don’t know how to do it.

Subject: Re: [Quantlib-dev] Addin Question Hi John, Eric & Francois, That would be great. It would certainly push the project forwards a step or 2 for very little effort. I don’t actually know how to feed back improvements into the project? Is there someone that could tell us the best way? Also, (maybe of more interest to Francois) I had a look at the instructions on how to build Quantlib and saw that I had to download stuff, install stuff, etc etc. I have decided that I like my computer the way it is! So, I’ve set up a google cloud account (MS and AWS have similar offerings with free credits) where I can run a virtual machine with windows os that will build the project. I have realised that this way of working has a secondary advantage of being able to do my work, on my machine (in its original state) after kicking off the necessary build processes which will would probably max out my laptop’s capabilities and render it unusable for a while. I’ve only just started this on Monday. So I haven’t got very far yet. I’m following a couple of YouTube videos (search YouTube for “introduction to quantlib”) and just going to see where the adventure leads me...

It's admittedly a bit painful to have to copy the code every time instead of just use the pre-compiled versions. I haven't tried to add to GitHub because I was expecting the Reposit project to launch, which seems absolutely amazing! But I assume that has been put on hold. I guess will make sense to just try to add to GitHub the changes I make which will benefit other users.

Perhaps another kind soul here on the list would volunteer to help out.
