a Standard C++ Application or Library</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>This topic describes the required header files and libraries to compile

and link against to build a Standard C++ application or library on a Symbian

platform build environment. </p>

<p>You can build a C++ application or library using one of the following target

types: </p>

<ul>

</ul> <p>These target types enable symbol lookup by name thereby adding the

symbol information into the executable. </p> <p> <b>Note:</b> For more information

about STD target types (<codeph>STDEXE</codeph> /<codeph>STDDLL</codeph> /<codeph>STDLIB</codeph>),

see the <xref href="GUID-1560C4FF-82EC-5E5D-A37D-3BBE046F0A5B.dita">Target Types</xref> section. </p> <p><b>Example</b> </p> <p>The

C++ applications or libraries, by performing the following configurations: </p> <ol id="GUID-95D63170-A738-562C-B648-D5E349E4EE32">

<li id="GUID-65331FAD-A88C-5D36-BED2-255AED30F99F"><p>Use the other Symbian

MMP keyword <codeph>STDCPP</codeph>. </p> </li>

</ol> <p>You may also have to include <filepath>${EPOCROOT}/epoc32/include/stdapis</filepath> explicitly

as the standard C headers are required by the standard C++ header. If you

are referring to Standard C APIs directly or indirectly, you must specify <filepath>libc.lib</filepath> and <filepath>libpthread.lib</filepath> in

the <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file. </p> <p><b>Example</b> </p> <p>The following
