Hi Kasp,
Sorry for not responding sooner. It's been a little while since I did anything quantlib related.
Regarding your messages....
First off I don't know what the problem you are running into is but I have a couple of comments that might be pertinent.
You say you downloaded boost 1.37.0 ( good so far ) but your e-mail later says that you were working in "boost_1_36_0\tools\jam\src" . My guess is that's just a typo in the e-mail but you need to make sure that the commands you type are appropriate for the code you downloaded.
Given that the boost build failed, you can't expect the quantlib build to succeed. It's crucial to successfully complete the earlier steps before trying to go on to later ones.
In your message you say that you don't have any experience with visual basic. You need to be using visual c++ - not visual basic. You might want to try uninstalling visual studio and then reinstalling - this time making sure you specify visual c++ and the SDK that goes with it.
It seems odd that you are seeing mention of yyacc.c in error messages. As far as I can tell, yyacc.c does not even come into play when you build boost in the way that you are trying to do.
These comments may or may not help you. Either way, if you follow up with more info, I might be able to shed more light on what's going on.
Hope this helps.
- Dave
