Re: [Quantlib-users] Installation of QL in custom folder

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

Hi Jonathan,

I tried below

./configure --with-boost-include='/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/QL_INSTALL/BOOST/b2-4.10.1/include/' \            
            --prefix='/Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/QL_INSTALL' \
            CXXFLAGS='-O2 -stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.9' \
            LDFLAGS='-stdlib=libc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.9'

With this I got below error

configure: error: /bin/sh ./config/config.sub   failed

However one strange thing in above error message is the last line. I am pretty sure that the folder ' /Users/DDD/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/QL_INSTALL' exists!

I also have xcode installed in my computer.

Any workaround will be helpful.

Thanks,

The ${HOME} in your prefix looks out of place. Can you try removing it?

If that doesn’t fix it then I would try escaping the ampersands in the directory name, or even better renaming the directory. 

By the way, the warning message means you can safely remove —with-boost-lib because it’s no longer required.
