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

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

Hi Johnson,

Thanks for the quick reply!

Finally I managed to install quickfix and install the quickfix py.

My problem was that I had both python 3 and python 2 on my machine...
removed python 3 and it worked.


By the way, I installed quickfix by downloading the "source tar" and
building the "quickfix_vs12.sln" in Microsoft visual studio.

The thing is that it had a syntax error in the "utility.cpp' file in line
number 399 in the "bool thread_spawn( THREAD_START_ROUTINE func, void* var,
thread_id& thread )" method.

The original (399 line) was: "result = _beginthreadex( NULL, 0, &func, var,
0, &id );" and I deleted the "&" sign so that it would be: "result =
_beginthreadex( NULL, 0, func, var, 0, &id );"

and only then the build was successful...

Is it a known issue? Did I fix it correctly? I'm not familiar with c# so I
have no idea why it worked....

Thanks again,

Asaf
