c++.dos - SGI STL Error

I need to port an existing application to DOS16 or DOS32 (if the dos extender
works on our platform). The application makes heavy use of STL.

Is there any way to use STLPort?

I'm currently using SGI STL, but have the following problem when including
certain headers, such as <string>:

Any ideas?

Are there any other STL implementations out there that may help me?

Thanks,

You could try the recent STLport 4.6.2 code I just released. STLport 
continued development on the SGI code base.

I downloaded 4.6.2 from STLPort's website, but it failed to compile. It
does not have a make file for dmc, so I used an older one. I don't know
if that is the source of the problem.

Other newgroup posts suggests STLPort does not work when compiling
for DOS16 or DOS32. So maybe its a waste of effort trying to compile 4.6.2,
unless support for DOS has been added.

<clue>Read the c++.stl.port newsgroup</clue>

I haven't attempted to create DOS32 or DOS16 libraries, but if you're 
willing to put a little effort, you can probably use my dm.mak makefiles 
as a template to get you started.

That said, it might be a waste of time if others aren't successful.

You might want to look at \dm\stlport\diff.txt, which is the changes needed
to make STLPort work with DMC++.

One problem you'll run into with DOS16 and DOS32 is that there isn't much of
any support for wide characters. There's no way to add it in, either, since
DOS doesn't support unicode.

This can be turned off by tweaking stlport\stl\stl_dm.h when you build a 
custom version of the libraries (which is what Jason will probably have 
to do.) Unless, of course, you happen to need it... or are willing to 
interface a Unicode library to the runtime. :-)

I kept the wide character code turned on because that's what a lot of 
people will use in Win32.
