Dear all, can somebody guide me how to install the package RQuantLib, for which windows binary is not available. I have tried installing it with R CMD INSTALL in my windows vista machine (I have Rtools installed), however it stopped due to an error saying: "compilation failed for package 'RQuantLib'".
And what did the package maintainer say when you asked (see the posting guide)?
You'll need to work on the C++ code in the package and its dependent library QuantLib. There is a good reason why a Windows binary is not available .... Actually, I did at some point in 2010 make a x64 binary package by cross-compiling, but as this is C++ you need an exact match between the cross-compiler and the native libraries, and in the 32-bit case the cross-compilers available were not compatible enough.
What is should do right to install this package?
Use a more capable OS. i.e. one with POSIX 1003 tools and C libraries.
