I would highly recommend uninstalling vc6 and never using it again. VC8 (Visual C++ 2005 Express) is free, and far, far superior. If you insist on vc6, the least you can do is install stlport, but the compiler itself still stinks. -----Original Message----- From: bringiton bringiton [mailto:kneeride@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 11:19 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: [Boost-users] stlport? i'm porting my app so that it now uses stl and boost. can someone please give advise on what stl i should be using? i hear about stlport all the time, but not sure why it is used? ie is it better that the version that comes with the compilers? im using ms vc++ 6 at the moment and plan to upgrade to 7.1. should i use the default stl, or install stlport? _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
