This sentence is unparseable. What is not yet able to compile STL? And What do you mean by compiling STL? Among all the other things: a) gcc is not STL compatible, it just doesn't fully support C++ yet, plus there are some misc bogons of the (let's do it so, it will in time make it to the standard) kind. b) TenDRA as produced by the port is unusable. Among other things, the port does not for some reason include support for long long (cure with the addition of one line to the build config file) c) TenDRA implements full C++ as of Nov. 1997 draft. It does not, however, come with the full set of standard libraries. As it is combinable with the SGI STL implementation, the only piece really missing is the iostreams library. Compared to what will be needed to be doem to get the system compilable with TenDRA, it is a minor problem.
