[Quickfix-developers] Now Working! - Standard Build Configuration on Linux?

[Java D. <jav...@ce...>]

I was able to get QuickFIX running here with minor modifications. I am
running Mandrake 9 and also RedHat 8 (with gcc 3+)

The problem was that initially, QuickFIX would compile, and I was able
to successfully 'make install' . BUT, when I went to compile the
examples, I got some compilation errors. I referred to Chang Lin's
posting on the Quickfix-developers list (Message: 10017100, dated
October 29, 2002). Chang listed a couple of things that he had to do to
get the software working.

I modified the file CPPTest/Test.h, commenting out the following:
#if TYPEINFO_IN_STD and #endif (these lines are above and below
std::type_info

The examples and everything compiled flawlessly at that point, and we
were off!


Another thing I learned the hard way (until reading Gene's reply) was
that one system of mine (RH8), I didn't have Java installed and had a
valid JAVA_HOME setup. That put a wrench in the build process too.


Hope this helps someone else, thanks for a wonderful program!
