I downloaded TWS API 9.72.18. I also tried to compile using visual c++ 2012 express, visual c++ 2015 community version, and 2017 exterprise. Although I successfully compiled its samples, but with numerous warnings. Anyone have compiled tws api samples without such many warnings?
I'm not an c++ expert, but noticed on IB's page that they only support the POSIX-compliant version. "C++ (MFC) API is deprecated as of API Version 9.72." https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=5041
C# worked great. Took a few hours to upgrade from my 2015 dll, but I bet they fixed a lot. Won't run on .net core though.
I tried, and I couldn't get it to compile with anything. Do they document the actually API itself anywhere?
I had to compile my own binaries, as such I think the whole thing is open source. The documentation is a little goofy but the code is all there.
