[Quickfix-developers] Visual Studio 7

[Peter K. <kra...@ho...>]

Hi!

(a) I downloaded the QF source code a while ago, converted the VS6 files to 
VS 7 files, and had no end of problems (death by a thousand cuts).  Just 
downloaded a fresh copy, and everything seems to be working beautifully in 
VS6, but when I try to run the quickfix.sln file, I gets tons of errors 
(mostly LNK 2005, most of which vanish when I link in static rather than a 
dll version of mfc, but there are a few stubborn ones LNK2020s, particularly 
relating to cout and basic_stream that I can't root out).  Is the answer 
just to stick with VS6?

(b) And what do the errors maean in QuickFIX build result page in the 
thoughtworks.com web site mean?  As I understand it, they relate to the 
current build in the sourcesafe: is there a page where I can see the build 
that is archived?

(c) My project is to have an administrative thread that gets orders via FIX, 
and then parcells them out to various ECNs & exchanges (i.e., if the order 
is to buy a thousand, and there are 500 on two ecns, it would split it up & 
fill).  Following Murphy's law, what should I expect to go wrong?



Peter
