Hi Rohan, The STL is usable in a host of operating systems. STL is a template library, meaning that as long as the C++ compiler is standards compliant, it should easily be able to use STL. Thus, cl (the VC 7 optimizing compiler) can also use it because it is (mostly) standards compliant. It is quite obvious that gcc/g++ can use it. It was because of gcc's influence that MS made cl standards compliant. <side note> Actually, G++ = <GCC + flags to indicate C++ source + some other things> So its sort of redundant to say that g++ "also" can work with STL. </side note> I have used STL on Linux and Windows. Although microsoft claims otherwise, STL mostly works on Windows CE too. You need to add the STL folder to your include list, and thats all thats necessary.
