Re: [Quantlib-users] Quantlib in CLion

[Jonathan S. <sw...@gm...>]

Hi Chirag,

The first step is to successfully build Boost using a toolchain compatible
with CLion. I have never done this before but the StackOverflow link you
pasted seems to provide reasonable instructions.

Once you have built Boost, then you can use the BOOST_INCLUDEDIR,
BOOST_LIBRARY_DIR, and/or BOOST_ROOT variables to tell CMake where to find
the Boost installation when configuring QuantLib. See [1] for more details
on these variables.

Regarding whether a header-only Boost installation is sufficient,
unfortunately no, QuantLib still depends on some pre-compiled Boost
libraries, but this may change in the future. See [2] for the latest list
of Boost library dependencies.
