After I failed with the Purebasic network functions (could not go farther than connecting and getting current date/time...) I decided to use the C++ IBKR API implementation. I am now stuck with things that are probably very simple for most of you ?;-(
?
Steps I made:
- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit. - Installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 for C++ - Reinstalled TWS API 10.30.01 - It appeared that "biddll.lib" the Intel "Decimal Floating-Point Math Library" was not found anywhere on my hard disk or anywhere else on the net. - As I found out that I had to recompile that library, I installed "mingw64" - After having waisted a lot of time with makes, nmakes, environment paths and many other things, no way to get past several errors (make mostly).
?
Do you know where I can find that "biddll.lib" (precompiled for Windows 64 bits preferably) ? Or suggest simple steps in order to compile that damn library. Or find a work around.
I still do not understand why things have become so complicated since the past 20/25 years where dropping and OCX control on a VB6 form was so simple !
