9
10
11        at the beginning of your source/header files. Depending on the number
12       of your files in your project, this could cause a large increase in
13       compilation time. If this were not acceptable, collective headers are
14       also available for smaller parts of the library; in particular, each
15       subdirectory of the ql directory contains a file all.hpp which makes
16       available all classes and function in the respective subdirectory.
17
18       Under the Examples folder you can find examples of QuantLib usage,
19       including input files for automake and makefiles for the Borland free
20       compiler and Microsoft Visual C++. For the latter, project files are
21       also available.

24       A few suggestions for Visual C++ users wanting to use QuantLib into
25       their own application:
26
27       1.  you won't have to explicitly link your application to the QuantLib
28           library. This is done automatically by compiler directives embedded
29           in the sources.
30
31       2.  Your project must be compiled with the same options that were used
32           in compiling the QuantLib library you're linking with, namely,
33
34         · Property Pages -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library:
35           select the appropriate run-time library.
36
37         · Property Pages -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Basic Runtime Checks:
38           select 'Both (/RTC1, equiv. to /RTCsu)'.
