Currently, LibTPT officially supports Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, but is known to work with Visual C++.Net (7.0) as well. For optimal performance, it is highly recommended that you install the STLPort (http://www.stlport.org/).
After installing the STLPort, add the following line to %INCLUDE%\stlport\stl_user_config.h:
#define _STLP_DO_IMPORT_CSTD_FUNCTIONS 1
The %INCLUDE% variable is the path where the stlport directory was installed. This will make the STL import the standard C library functions into the "std" namespace, making Visual C++ act more like a standard C++ compiler.
Make sure you set %INCLUDE%\stlport as your first include path, or the wrong version of the header files will be included. Also, since MSVC 6 does not properly handle the standard library in the std namespace, avoid broad statements like
using namespace std;
Once your build environment is set up correctly, open w32/libtpt.dsw. The libtpt workspace includes all projects necessary to build libtpt and its tests. The default build configuration is intended for a generic x86 platform. Change these options if you so desire.
Both debug and release configurations are available for build. Each project should build with "debug" in its name when compiled as a debug project.
Batch build all the release versions, then run tests:
cd test/ test.bat
