The MinGW GNU make command can be used to build STLport with different
compilers
- gcc (native compiler):
Makefile : gcc.mak
Notes:
1. Static library (archive)
If you use the static version of the STLport libraries
you have to define the _STLP_USE_STATIC_LIB macro in order
to have your executable linked correctly.
2. Shell
You will need MSys in order to build STLport.
Be carefull about what make command you are using. STLport comes with a
GNU make build system design for unix like platforms, make files have not
been adapted for the Windows platform. So you have to use the make command
coming with the MinGW package 'mingw32-make' and not the one coming with MSys
that is a portage of the GNU make for Windows.
3. Threading configuration
STLport libraries are built per default in order to be used in a
multithreaded environment. Under MinGW it means that we use the '-mthread'
compiler option. Don't forget to add it to your compiler command line too
if you want to use STLport libraries. You can also ask for not thread
safe libraries using the --no-thread configure script option.
4. Linking
In this environment STLport is almost complete replacement for libstdc++.
It means that when you were linking with libstdc++ (-lstdc++) you only have
to replace it with STLport (-lstlport.5.2 for instance) and with libsupc++
containing language compiler support (lsupc++). However default gcc
behavior is to automatically link libstdc++ and a number of other system libs.
To avoid this behavior you have to use the -nodefaultlibs compiler option and
explicitely give all libraries by yourself. See build of unit tests to see what
library you might need, here is the list when this note was written:
-lstlportg.5.2 -lsupc++ -lgcc_s -lmingw32 -lmingwex -lmsvcrt -lm -lmoldname
-lcoldname -lkernel32
- Borland C++ compiler:
Makefile : bcc.mak
- Digital Mars C++ compiler:
Makefile : dmc.mak
