No, libstlport4.5-dev does not contain any library---only the STL
headers and an empty libstlport.a for developers who are not able to
delete -lstlport in their Makefile. It is all explained in
README.Debian. Unfortunately libstlport4.5-dev does not work very well
with nontrivial source code. It is probably better to use
libstlport4.5-full or no stlport at all since g++-3.2 is much better
than g++-2.95.
