Hi Frank,

Using gcc with code blocks and have both 32 and 64 bit versions. I can use the make file as you pointed out. Thanks!

I don't think the version matters -- the code is the same (at least
for the 1.13.3 version I had downloaded). There may have been
some different batch files or shell scripts in the .zip vs. the tar.gz,
but the code itself was the same.

Which specific compiler are you using? You had mentioned
CodeBlocks. I think people often use it with gcc, but that it works
with a number of compilers.

I just used (64-bit) mingw-w64 with command-line (no IDE)
mingw32-make (Yes, the version of make that comes with the
mingw-w64 toolchain is call mingw32-make.) to drive mingw-w64's
g++ and ar.

I would say just start compiling, and with the exception of the two
issues I mentioned before, just make the obvious one-line patches
as they come up.

I never downloaded (or used) quickfix-logviewer. (I only downloaded
quickfix-1.13.3.zip and quickfix-1.13.3.tar.gz.)

I believe that the third-party windows programs 7-zip and winrar will both
handle tar.gz. (I think you can also get windows versions of tar and gzip,
but I haven't done that.)

Again, you don't need quickfix-logviewer to build and run the core QuickFIX
code, but it could be a nice utility to have.

Good luck.

Hey Frank,
One more quick question; where should I start the compilation process? Is it Utility.cpp first and then pretty much any order? My goal is to create all the object files
first and then convert them into a static library. I guess I could run compilation with VC++ of one of the projects to see in which sequence object files are
created...thought I'll check with you first.

Thanks,
--Maz

It doesn't matter at all in what order you compile the .cpp files.
They are independent "translation units" and the .o files that
get produced are independent of one another.

For whatever reason, the first file in my makefile is Session.o
(which causes Session.cpp to get compiled by a make built-in
rule). But it doesn't matter, and I don't recall how my particular
order of files came about.

By the way, which version of QuickFIX are you working with?
