When I tried to build STLport-4.5.3 using mingw 2.4 with gcc 3.2, I got errors.
I used the make program in the /mingw/bin directory, but I think the one that comes with MSYS should work too.
The problem I encountered was ctime trying to include:
../g++-v3/ctime which didn't exist.
This occurs because ctime tries to include the native ctime using _STLP_NATIVE_INCLUDE_PATH but the stl_gcc.h file sets:
#define _STLP_NATIVE_INCLUDE_PATH ../g++-v3
which is the wrong include dir.
This occurs because in mingw 2.4 with gcc 3.2 the native stl headers are in:
/include/c++/3.2
To fix this, comment out the above #define and type:
#define _STLP_NATIVE_INCLUDE_PATH c++/3.2
NOTE: Since /include is already in the standard include path, we don't need to explicitly say:
/include/c++
Now I ran into another problem. The regression tests don't build giving an error regarding:
... _string_io.c:82: template-id `ctype<_CharT>'
used as a declarator
The reason is that _STLP_NO_OWN_IOSTREAMS doesn't work with gcc 3.0 (see release notes) and the gcc.mak file sets _STLP_NO_OWN_IOSTREAMS.
Just edit the above define out of the makefile and it should work. :)
