I have looked and looked and looked... sorry to ask what must be a very newbie question, but I can't find an answer anywhere in the documentation. How does one go about compiling boost with stlport? My platform is windows xp sp2, visual studio 8.0. Also, is it even worthwhile to do so? We are seeing significant slowdowns in our code due to what we think is lock contention in the standard library that ships with visual studio 8.0, so we are looking for alternatives. Does STLport run better in a multithreaded environment than the stl that comes with visual studio 8.0? Thanks.

My employer is using VC8 with STLPort 5.1 . While I cannot quite compare performance or multi-threading aspects of its behaviour with the one that ships with VC8, we are quite happy with it and the performance is good. We also customised user config header to have STL debug iterators enabled in debug mode only (this requires a bit of caution linking with STLPort runtime library). We are using it together with boost 1.33.1 , but we did not bother to build it (using header-only libraries). I would warn against using versions of STLPort older than 5.1.3, though (crash in strncpy_s). B.
