Compiling Error : "stlport_vc6_stldebug.lib"

Hi, I hope this wasn't already posted (I did several searches looking for it and came up with 0 results).

Currently when I compile I get an error:

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "stlport_vc6_stldebug.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

Demo_Shadows.exe - 1 error(s), 20 warning(s)

I was having trouble installing the STLPort at first, I wasnt able to follow the FAQ as it directed. When I ran the VCVARS32.BAT file, instead of staying open as soon as it ran it closed, making it difficult to follow the next step. I just went into VS6 and added these 2 directories:

C:\STLPORT-4.5.3\STLPORT
C:\STLPORT-4.5.3\SRC

I'm not sure what I can do, if theres some way to make the BAT file stay open or the directories are incorrect. Help is very much appreciated!

Don't double click the batch file, use the command line to open. it. On WinXP/Win2k press Start-button then choose Execute then enter cmd.exe into the edit field and hit enter. This is the command line here you have to start the batch file. If you don't know how to work with it look for a tutorial.

A more detailed description of how to install STLPort can be found here.

you also need to add C:\STLPORT-4.5.3\LIB (or whatever it is called) to your library paths.
