LNK2001 error when compiling apps referencing STLport-5.1.4 with VC++ 2008

Question

I apologize in advance for the long post...

I used to be able to build our VC++ solutions (we\'re on VS 2008) when we listed the STLPort include and library director

Answer 1

You have to configure STL port to use the native IOStreams implementation.

Also is there any specific reason you use STLPort? The default STL implementation is recommended unless you are trying to make a cross platform application - even then its not really needed in most cases.
