Poll: for how much would you buy a book on "Getting Started with QuantLib"?

[Daniel Duffy]

"By pulling the code from Git (at a stable versión of course) you can take advantage from the cmake files and using the CMAKE plugin of vscode you can compile and debug in a matter of minutes."

I had installed the latest versión of Quantlib.
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Version 17.7.4
I followed all the instructions: first realease and then debug mode was also generated, no errors during the installation
The error I was struggling with for a while was (trying some code /copy-paste/):
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'QuantLib-mt-gd.lib'
I found this vague link
[Quantlib-users] some Big Picture issues and "cannot open file 'QuantLib-vc90-mt-gd.lib'"
It took me a while to solve the compile error

I would say

1. does lib file exist?
2. is it compatible with project (x86, x64 stuff)
3. is it in your project properties?

QuantLib-mt-gd.lib'

my file a while back was quantlib-vc140-mt-gd.lib
?
Are you missing a version number? Build again for vc142, whatever.

It's not rocket science at this stage.

Please see.

A well-written book would save a lot of lost time.
// the kids have to eat; $3 won't go far after Amazon has got its share. And then the taxman.

PDF books should cost not more than $3.00,
it would be the only way I would make a reality my Amazon wish li

I wish Amazon book division will become a library. I will be happy to pay for a membership fee.

Hi Dr. Duffy
Indeed, it is .
I wanted to inform the Quantnet forum community about the approach I took to address the issue. I began by thoroughly debugging the project file.
I'll continue to provide updates within the link I previously shared, and in the near future, I plan to incorporate some of the code from the GitHub repository.
Best regards.

What was the (root) cause of the problem? a 1-liner is also OK.
Many people are interested.
