1 ================================================== 2 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.] 10 11 ============= 12 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. 21 22 =================== 23 Installing STLport 24 =================== 25 26 - STLport directory can be almost anywhere EXCEPT native dm\include directory. 27 28 =================== 29 Configuring STLport 30 =================== 31 32 - In a console window go to the STLport build\lib folder. Run 33 34 configure -c dmc 35 36 ================ 37 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 50 ============ 51 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. 81 82
