Re: [Quantlib-users] Installing QL is custom directory

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

Hi Brian,

I'm not sure about Homebrew, but if you're following the instructions from
the "Installing from a released version" section, then the key is to pass
the external directory to the --prefix argument.

For example if your external directory is mounted on /mnt/external, then
you would run

./configure --prefix=/mnt/external ...

You can also use the --prefix argument when installing boost to put the
headers and libs in the directory you want. See the following site for more
info:
