[Quickfix-users] Visual C++ build problems: 'ole2.h'

From: Shaun A. <Sh...@Ab...> - 2004-07-01 08:34:49

Hi,
I am a Java developer very keen to get to learn more about Quickfix, but =
really struggling to get it built. My C++ knowledge is very limited, so =
excuse me is this is a stupid question. I am trying to build it on WinXP =
Pro using Microsoft Visual C++ (2005 Express Edition Beta - i.e. the =
free version, I don't have access to the full Visual Studio), but I keep =
getting the following error message:=20

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ole2.h': No such file or =
directory


Has anyone else tried building Quickfix with VC++ Express, or have any =
ides on how to get rid of this problem? Any suggestions greatly =
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Shaun

PS Will there ever be a time when built, rather than source only,  =
versions are available for download?

Hi Oren,
Many thanks for passing on the binary release. I have ordered a copy of =
Visual Studio .Net so I will hopefully be able to build it myself soon, =
but your version has helped me a lot until then.

The following are my observations from my limited use of the build so =
far:

1.
When you run Executor (Java version) with an incomplete cfg file, it can =
cause a Virtual Machine abort, rather than a useful error message. See =
attached hs_err_pid3304.log log file for details. Don't think this is a =
huge deal since it does work fine with a sensible cfg file. This may be =
the same problem as listed here =
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3D4325589&forum_id=
=3D103.

2.
When I have Executor and Banzai running and connected to each other, =
when I try to submit an order, I always get an error about tag58 (Text) =
being out of range, e.g.

<20040705-14:41:29, FIX.4.0:CLIENT1->TW, incoming>
  =
(8=3DFIX.4.0=E2=98=BA9=3D107=E2=98=BA35=3D3=E2=98=BA34=3D115=E2=98=BA49=3D=
TW=E2=98=BA52=3D20040705-14:41:29=E2=98=BA56=3DCLIENT1=E2=98=BA45=3D468=E2=
=98=BA58=3DValue is incorrect (out of range) for this =
tag=E2=98=BA10=3D153=E2=98=BA)

Not sure how useful this feedback is, but if I come across anything else =
I'll let you know. Thanks again for your help...

Shaun

I know about such problems. When I use the FileLogFactory, but forgot to 
add the entry to the cfg file, QF aborts. Will check this...

Oren, what do you know about this? Probably a ConfigError should be 
thrown or is not correctly catched in the JNI layer.

Tag 58 is the explanatory text for you to read; it is not tag 58 which 
is out of range. Tag 45 refers to sequence number 468 (34=468).

Probably you tried to send a MARKET order from Banzai to the Executor. 
The Executor only accepts LIMIT orders, others are rejected:


      56         if(ordType.getValue() != OrdType.LIMIT)
      57             throw new IncorrectTagValue(ordType.getField());

This from the file

      quickfix-1.8.0/quickfix/examples/executor/java/src/Application.java

The thrown exception results in the session level reject being sent.

The Ordermatcher rejects that order with an ExecutionReport:

58=Unsupported Order Type, use limit

which is more helpful here.

Just try the order matcher to see the difference.

Cheers, Jörg

The C++ tradeclient says "ConfigError..." if I remove the FileLog config 
entry, so I assume some problem in the JNI layer. Did not find anything 
so far.

Indeed.  I checked in fixes for both of these into CVS.
