[Quickfix-developers] Standard Build Configuration on Linux?

[JavaDude <jav...@ce...>]

I am not having the best of luck getting the QuickFIX program(s) compiled
for the Linux platform. Is there a "standard" configuration people use?

I've tried all the major distros with varying degrees of success, but they
all lead to one conclusion: something doesn't compile right, and it does
not work.


If there's a doc that defines how to get started that can lay out what
exactly you need, that would be a great help!


Thanks, and see some of you tomorrow at the FIA expo in Chicago!

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.

Almost forgot -- Java libs would not compile unless
the build directory is names "quickfix".

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

Thanks Gene-

I will try these suggestions, and next time keep better track of my
results.. It's been a long and exhausting week LOL. 

Thanks to the QuickFix team for the product, and I've seen the excellent
levels of support for the product. It is appreciated!


Thanks,

[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!
