[Quickfix-developers] install Quickfix FIX engine on windows, use python API to build a client/buy-side

[Asaf B. G. <asa...@gm...>]

Hello, 

I want to install the Quickfix FIX engine on windows and use its python API
to build a client/buy-side application.

I'm using windows 10, 64bit
Python 2.7

I don't know how to install the Quickfix engine, I tried to do the listed
below to no sucess:
1. pip install quickfix but it gives errors like "failed building wheel for
quickfix"
2. Downloading the "source zip" file from "http://www.quickfixengine.org/"
and using visual studio community 2015 to "batch build" the
"quickfix_vs12.sln" but it gives errors that "quickfix.lib" does not exist.
3. install with "quickfix‑1.14.3‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl" from
"http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke//pythonlibs/" but it also didn't work...

I tried more stuff to no success :(

Can anyone help please with the steps needed to:
1. Install quickfix engine on windows 10 amd64
2. Make the Python package of quickfix available to use in order to build a
buy-side client.

Thanks,

Asaf
