[Quickfix-users] Building Custom QuickFix for Python3

[montgomery t. <tun...@gm...>]

Hi all,

It isn't very straight forward for building quickfix for python3?

I have never used cmake and have been having trouble for the past 12hours+
to build Quickfix for python3.

I had to create custom fields and messages for QuickFix FIX.4.2 and then
generated all the correct code (I think) for this. By running the
generator.rb script in the spec file after I got the XML files to be
formatted correctly.

I just want to know if anyone has experience doing this or could help me?
Im pretty close to frustrated that its not straight forward with a library
this advanced. Or well that no one has done a tutorial on building it.

Im not sure to if I should use CMake and build it or compile the C++ then
go the SWIG route. Although I am having problems with the WinSocket.h, its
throwing like 50 errors. And the fact that you need SDK7.1 instead of 8?

Not sure any help would be much appreciated.
