Re: [Quantlib-users] Quantlib in CLion

[<chi...@ya...>]

Hi Jonathan

 

Thank you for your kind advice. I already have inserted the macros below. Based on Luigi’s reply, it seems the Boost headers alone are sufficient (if I am not building the test-libraries) and that’s works fine for me in CLion as well. So now my focus is to build Quantlib using mingw in CLion.

 

Can you please recommend how I can modify the existing CMake file to build Quantlib using CMake ?

 

i)              Do I modify the existing CMakeLists.txt file that comes with Quantlib with  recommendations from Dimitri’s blog ? Or write a new CMake file ?

Option 2: (since everything works fine in Visual Studio, I thought of trying my luck)

 

I switched the compiler itself in CLion from my default mingw to Visual Studio 2017. I then modified the CMakeLists.txt file(which is attached in this email) but it doesn’t work 

as in the main.cpp the #include <ql/quantlib.hpp> can’t find it 

 

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ql/quantlib.hpp': No such file or directory

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~2\MIB055~1\2017\COMMUN~1\VC\Tools\MSVC\1416~1.270\bin\Hostx86\x86\cl.exe' : return code '0x2'

Stop.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX86\x86\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'

Stop

 

Thank you for your kind help

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.

Hi Quantlib Users

 

Hope all is well. I am trying to get more involved in the Quantlib project with my interest in quantitative finance. 

 

I have been able to get it to work in Windows VS2017 but I am trying to make it work in CLion using CMake with no success.

 

1)  I can't even get Boost to compile in CLion using CMake. I am only able to use the header only Boost files in CLion

 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36519453/setup-boost-in-clion

 

2) I tried following this blog by Dimitry but I guess I first need to make Boost work (or are the header only Boost files sufficient ?). The instructions are not very clear.

May I kindly check if this is something somebody can guide me on please ?

 

Thank you for your guidance

Chirag
