Getting Started : Installing STLport
Download
To download STLport, please visit download page at stlport.org.
It provides stable STLport releases from 2.x to the latest one.
If you are interested in contributing to STLport development, you are welcome to try out
beta snapshots (usually, pretty stable).
Unpack
After downloading STLport-XXX.tar.gz [zip],
unpack it to some place where it is going to be accesible for all
compilers you plan to use with this installation.
Note : Never overwrite header files that come with the compiler,
even if you made a backup - this won't work !
Also, please make sure you do not rename this "stlport" subdirectory
into anything else - that may render installation unusable.
Setup Preferences
Look through <stl/_site_config.h> and <stl_user_config.h>
to adjust preferences.
Do NOT attempt to run "configure" script!
It is deprecated, moved to safe standalone
folder and should be used as a helper to create initial config for a new compiler only.
Your compiler should be auto-recognized.
Please edit appropriate configuration header for your compiler
directly if you have to make small compiler-specific configuration changes.
Only if you recieve error message during compilation which explicitly says
"Your compiler version is not recognized by STLport", you
will have to do major configuration of STLport before use.
To learn how to configure STLport, please read
configuration manual.
Please be sure to read about STLport iostreams modes
and select the one appropriate for your project before using the library.
