BTW, one thing I did notice was that I don't see any of the libs generated by 
the build process with static in the filename.

After doing all the make commands above, I have:

libstlport.5.0.a
libstlport.5.0.dll.a
libstlportg.5.0.a
libstlportg.5.0.dll.a
libstlportstlg.5.0.a
libstlportstlg.5.0.dll.a
libstlport.5.0.dll
libstlportg.5.0.dll
libstlportstlg.5.0.dll

Which one do I use?  I don't want to have to included a dll with the program.

I assume -lstlport.5.0 is what I should be doing, but I still get the errors.

Thanks
