[Quantlib-users] Installation of QL in custom folder

[George S. <geo...@ao...>]

Hi,

I am following the instructions in https://www.quantlib.org/install/macosx.shtml to install QL in custom folder. So I tried following

./configure --with-boost-include='/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/AAA & BBB/Programs/QuantLib/QL_INSTALL/BOOST/b2-4.10.1/include/' \

            --with-boost-lib='/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/AAA & BBB/Programs/QuantLib/QL_INSTALL/BOOST/b2-4.10.1/lib/' \

            --prefix=${HOME}'/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/AAA & BBB/Programs/QuantLib/QL_INSTALL' \

            CXXFLAGS='-O2 -stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.9' \

            LDFLAGS='-stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.9' 


However with this, I am getting below error

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-boost-lib

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: unsafe absolute working directory name


I am using iMac with MacOS version 13.6 (22G120)


Could you please guide what went wrong and the correct approach to install QL in some custom folder.


Thanks for your time.
