STLport README for Digital Mars C++ compilers.
|
| 3 |
==================================================
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Build of STLport with Digital Mars C++ compiler is very similar
|
| 6 |
to the one for Microsoft Visual Studio compiler (see README.msvc).
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Below are some additional hints. [DMC users are encouraged to
|
| 9 |
contribute additional information.]

=============

Prerequisites
|
| 13 |
=============
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- Digital Mars C++ 8.49 or above
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- A GNU environment with make tool. Prefer MinGW/MSys to Cygwin because the
|
| 18 |
latter contains a link command that is also the name of the Digital Mars linker
|
| 19 |
and you might experiment collision between both commands.
|
| 20 |
See README.mingw for additional information.

Installing STLport
|
| 24 |
===================
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
- STLport directory can be almost anywhere EXCEPT native dm\include directory.
|

Configuring STLport
|
| 30 |
===================
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
- In a console window go to the STLport build\lib folder. Run
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
configure -c dmc
|
| 35 |
|

Building STLport
|
| 38 |
================
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
- To build STLport libraries:
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
cd [STLport dir]\build\lib
|
| 43 |
[mingw32-make] -f dmc.mak install
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
- To build STLport (dynamic) unit tests:
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
cd [STLport dir]\build\test\unit
|
| 48 |
[mingw32-make] -f dmc.mak install
|
| 49 |

Known issues
|
| 52 |
============
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
1. typeinfo.h
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
DMC forces inclusion of typeinfo.h header at the begining of any
|
| 57 |
translation unit. This breaks the STLport include schema, especially
|
| 58 |
when building the library. As a workaround STLport typeinfo.h simply
|
| 59 |
include native DMC header not performing any internal STLport work as
|
| 60 |
importing things to STLport namespace. As a result typeinfo.h should
|
| 61 |
never be reference in user code, as it is neither a C nor a C++ header
|
| 62 |
this is not considered as a major limitation. The C++ Standard header
|
| 63 |
is typeinfo.
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
2. link.exe and lib.exe
|
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
STLport makefiles for DMC use dm_link and dm_lib instead of link and lib to
|
| 68 |
avoid conflicts with other vendors' linkers and archivers. To build STLport
|
| 69 |
with DMC, please copy or rename the following files:
|
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
copy dm\bin\link.exe dm\bin\dm_link.exe
|
| 72 |
copy dm\bin\lib.exe dm\bin\dm_lib.exe
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
3. Free online version.
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
If DMC's free online version reports compiler or linker errors, the
|
| 77 |
solution may be in a free online CD update. Download and unzip all free
|
| 78 |
CD patches for versions 8.30 and above, in consecutive order, overwriting
|
| 79 |
previous files. Then install free online version 8.49 or above, overwriting
|
| 80 |
previous files.
