I have installed STLport 5.0-0409 in the stlport locker.
README is below.
--ken
This is STLport, from stlport.org
To compile your programs with its DEBUG mode, do:
g++ -I/mit/stlport/295 -D_STLP_DEBUG your_program.cc
To run, do "./a.out" as usual.
More information
================
STLport is an implementation of the C++ Standard Template Library.
It's most useful feature is a DEBUG mode with bounds-checked
containers and "safe iterators".
See http://stlport.org/doc/debug_mode.html
It works correctly with g++ 2.95.3 in the gnu locker. You can check
what version of g++ you have with the command "g++ --version".
Unfortunately, it fails with g++ 3 or later.
The version installed here is the 5.0 beta snapshot
"STLport-5.0-0409". It has been installed with the
_STLP_NO_OWN_IOSTREAMS configuration option, which means that it uses
the system-supplied (i.e., Athena's) iostreams library, instead of
STLport's iostreams library.
It does its magic via header files, so it is architecture
independent. There are no libraries or shared-libraries that you need
to link with in order to run your programs.
The directory test/ gives two example programs and a script demonstrating
compilation and one of the programs producing a bounds-check error.

Please contact me if you have questions or comments, or if you notice
that a new version has become available at stlport.org.

Student Information Processing Board (SIPB).
