Re: [Boost-users] s_directory(path) returns false in windows , path do exist

12 May 2008

      Boost.Config automatically chooses the proper library for me (arent they
great?)

With boost in msvc, you never need to specify which boost library to
link with. 

Microsoft has issues with a lot of incompatible ABIs, so they added a
pragma that allows header files to specify which library to link with
from within the code. Boost uses this to make the lives of us
unfortunate windows programmers a little easier ;)

The project is attached, perhaps you can poke around and see what 
might  be different.

sure the output is :
I:\ddd\ccc
the program is:
#include <iostream>
#include "boost/filesystem.hpp"
using namespace boost::filesystem;  >  > using

path path("I:/ddd/ccc",native);
      cout << path.file_string();
      if(exists(path)){
              printf("is");
      }else{
              printf("none");
      }
      return 0;
}
Hmm,
I created a folder C:\ddd\ccc and ran your code 
exactly  > as 
it is.
 The result:
C:\ddd\cccis
So it works! (and your missing a newline in your  
output)

 If so, have you verified that it is connected?
