Boost.Build's vc7-stlport toolset supports the Microsoft Visual C++ .NET command-line tools, using the STLport standard library implementation on Microsoft Windows. It is designed to allow you to build and test with multiple installed versions of STLPort, so that objects build in each configuration will be built into separate directories.
vc7-stlport toolset responds to the
following variables, which can be set in the environment or configured on
the jam command-line using
-sVARIABLE_NAME=value. It is an extension of the
msvc-stlport toolset and therefore
responds to all of the MSVC configuration variables in addition to
those listed below.
In the table below, version corresponds to an STLPort version
number, e.g. "4.5.3".
| Variable Name | Semantics | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
STLPORT_PATH |
A directory containing at least one subdirectory of the form
/STLPort-version where an STLPort installation can
be found. |
empty | Allows easy configuration for an installation where several STLPort versions are installed under a single directory. |
STLPORT_version_PATH |
The directory where the specific STLPort version
installation can be found, in case there is no central location
appropriate for STLPORT_PATH, above, or a particular
version's installation is not located in the usual place. |
empty | Allows configuration of a specific STLPort installation. |
STLPORT_VERSION |
The version of STLPort in use by default. | 4.6 |
Other values can be selected in parallel setting the build property
<stlport-version> to values from the list of
$(STLPORT_VERSIONS) |
STLPORT_VERSIONS |
A space-separated list of alternate versions of STLport available on this machine. | 4.6 4.5 4.0 |
-stlport-specific features can be used in target build
requirements or in the BUILD variable:
| Feature | Values | Default | Semantics |
|---|---|---|---|
native-wchar_t |
off on |
off |
Controls whether wchar_t is an intrinsic type or not. This is off by default since that's the way STLPort builds itself. Turning this on may result in unresolved externals from STLPort, unless you rebuild STLPort with /Zc:wchar_t. |
stlport-version |
$(STLPORT_VERSION) $(STLPORT_VERSIONS) (see
above) |
$(STLPORT_VERSION) |
Selects a version of STLPort for each target |
stlport-cstd-namespace |
std global |
std |
Controls whether or not names from the "C" library headers such as
<cstdlib> are imported into namespace std. |
