Visual Studio 2017

Hi,

Does ORE 1.8.2 support Visual Studio 2017?
I am not very keen on SDK and platform toolset, but I know that QuantLib Visual Studio 2017 compatibility was introduced recently.
Therefore I’d like to know if I must use older versions of Visual Studio (e.g. 2015) to correctly build ORE.

Many thanks!

Hi William,

Right now there are just Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 solution files available for 1.8.2. It should all compile with 2017, but you will get issues with the boost autolink headers and the props file, it’s the same issue that QuantLib has so these files need to be updated.

If you are able to do this and send a merge request on github, we can integrate it.

Regards,
Niall.

Hi Niall,

I will try and let you know.
But, what about QuantLib? Now ORE points to QuantLib 1.8 that does not support Visual Studio 2017. How should I manage this?

BR,

Hi William,

ORE works with QL 1.8 or higher, I know the submodule points to 1.8 but that is just so it works out of the box, you can upgrade QL to 1.10 which I think supports VS 2017.

Niall.
