For those who might run into the same error, the only thing that would work for me is to change my code to the following: #include #include

using namespace boost::filesystem;

//fs::path configPath(fs::initial_pathfs::path()); path configPath = system_complete(path("./appSettings.cfg", native));

Don't know why the boost samples don't work, but this does.

Are you sure this isn't a case of C++'s Most Vexing Parse?

// This is a function declaration! fs::path configPath(fs::initial_pathfs::path());

If that's the case, then why is it an example on the Boost docs ;-)

Good question. I'm not the author, nor am I the maintainer. Try your code again like so: fs::path configPath((fs::initial_pathfs::path())); --Michael Fawcett
