For SunOS and AIX have a look at README.SunOS and README.AIX.

It is possible to build many components with a relatively newer version of cmake.

For example on Windows,

mkdir build cd build cmake -DHAVE_SSL=ON -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="install-path" -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="path to openssl" .. Then build in Visual Studio or on command prompt.

On Linux (with system openssl),

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DHAVE_SSL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="install-path" .. make -j 4 install

If one has Ninja then (with system openssl),

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DHAVE_SSL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="install-path" .. ninja install

Alternatively, you can build and install quickfix using vcpkg dependency manager:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg integrate install
./vcpkg install quickfix

The quickfix port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please create an issue or pull request on the vcpkg repository.
