[Quantlib-dev] Boost 1_71_0_b1_rc1 and QuantLib

[Charles K. <ka...@cg...>]

I think my first mistake was compiling Boost  1_71_0_b1_rc1 before looking
at Quantlib to see what version was compatible.
What version of Boost is tested with Quantlib? 1.70? 1.69?

My QuantLib build resulted in failure. As a first time user, I realize that
the errors I received when compiling QuantLib may have been
self-inflicted.  A sample of the errors are below.

What version of Boost should I use?

Is there some howto that is more up to date that uses Visual Studio 2017 or
2019?
