Dear Advanced c/g++ on boost programers:
I have copied and testd a simple (Copy a file with Boost) program from page 372, Example10-10, book(C++ cookbook) but I got compile error ----------------------------- eric@eric-laptop:~/cppcookbook/ch10$ g++ Example10-10.cpp Example10-10.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’: Example10-10.cpp:17:47: error: invalid conversion from ‘bool (*)(const std::string&)’ to ‘boost::enable_if_c<true, void>::type*’ Example10-10.cpp:17:47: error: initializing argument 2 of ‘boost::filesystem3::path::path(const Source&, typename boost::enable_if<boost::filesystem3::path_traits::is_pathable<typename boost::decay<Source>::type> >::type*) [with Source = char*, typename boost::enable_if<boost::filesystem3::path_traits::is_pathable<typename boost::decay<Source>::type> >::type = void]’ Example10-10.cpp:18:47: error: invalid conversion from ‘bool (*)(const std::string&)’ to ‘boost::enable_if_c<true, void>::type*’ Example10-10.cpp:18:47: error: initializing argument 2 of ‘boost::filesystem3::path::path(const Source&, typename boost::enable_if<boost::filesystem3::path_traits::is_pathable<typename boost::decay<Source>::type> >::type*) [with Source = char*, typename boost::enable_if<boost::filesystem3::path_traits::is_pathable<typename boost::decay<Source>::type> >::type = void]’ Example10-10.cpp:18:48: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token ----------------------------- This is my program, you can download and test by your self from http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596007614/ ----------------------------------------------------- // Example 10-10. Copying a file with Boost #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>
using namespace std; using namespace boost::filesystem;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
// Parameter checking...
try { // Turn the args into absolute paths using native formatting path src = complete(path(argv[1], native)); path dst = complete(path(argv[2], native); copy_file(src, dst); } catch (exception& e) { cerr << e.what() << endl; }
return(EXIT_SUCCESS); }
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ever check around web, there is some suggestion ask me to get rid native, but in my test/system, it only generate more errors. my boost version probably is 1.46.1 and I am on g++ 4.5.2 and Ubuntu10.04/linuxKernel2.6.35-25 Need and thanks your help a lot in advance, Eric
Removing the "native" does work well for me, what are the errors you saw then? Link errors? You must link against the boost filesystem & system lib.
