Re: [Quickfix-developers] Standard Build Configuration on Linux?

[Gene G. <mus...@ya...>]

I build Quickfix on Redhat Linux 7.2 and 7.3 with
little fudging.
1) libxml2 includes are located in an unexpected
place, there is a "configure" option that disables
check for those (run configure --help for the full
list), or alternatively you can softlink the includes
to place where configure expects these.
2) when building 1.3.x you have to also run
"bootstrap" script provided with the distribution.
3) do not forget to set JAVA_HOME before running
configure.
4) Because of bugs in standard libraries you need
either gcc 3.x or gcc 2.95 with stlport to run
Quickfix reliably. I also needed a fairly recent
version of binutils rpm to get exceptions to work
correctly.
5) There are acceptance tests included with Quickfix
that will fail in the case of most egregious
misconfigurations. On my system with older binutils
they would fail even before getting to the first unit
test.

As a programmer you must be aware that "something
doesn't compile right, and it does not work." is
singularly insufficient to give you any further
advice. Quickfix author has been extremely generous
with his support, and if you provide a little more
information about the type of errors that you are
getting, I am sure your problems will get resolved.
