problem using boost::filesystem
Hello...
I am triing to use the boost::filesystem library. But actually i am stucked
using it. I have WindowsXP without a service pack. I am using
Visual Studio 6.0 installed in default folders for VS6. I am using stlport
but without the iostreams. After uncompressing boost, i compiled
boost with bjam with following statement:
bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_VERSION=4.6" "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..\stlport" "-sBUILD=debug <stlport-iostream>off" stage
Compilation has no errors and all libs are build. Now i want to use boost::filesystem::path, example:
#include
Try boost::filesystem::path(C:\\, boost::filesystem::native);
You can also take a look at the examples under
Well, when i try boost::filesystem::path("C:\\", boost::filesystem::native);
i get a linker error saying this:
Tutorial02.obj : error LNK2001: Nichtaufgeloestes externes Symbol "public: __thiscall boost::filesystem::path::path(char const *,bool (__cdecl*)(class _STL::basic_string
Mmm, not sure what is going on there. I can only recommend to take a look at
the examples the library provides. Also try linking against the static
filesystem lib.

I'm fiddling with the same stuff at the moment. The problem you're
having is that the way you compiled the boost::filesystem library is not
compatible with the stlport library (just check and you'll see that the
mangled names of the functions the linker needs contain the substring
_STL, whereas the corresponding mangled names in the library you're
linking with have the substring std in the same place instead). What you
could do is add the switch -d+2 to the bjam command line when you build
the library. It will show you the stlport library switches used.
I ended up copying the stuff that bjam printed to the terminal and
pasted it into a text editor. Then I changed all the switches that I
didn't think were right and saved the file as a batch file which I then
executed to build the library (yikes!). But as far as I can tell there
is no way to build boost "out of the box" with bjam using VC++ 6.0 and
stlport.
Anyway, with the exception of the filesystem::path::iterator all is
working ok using this approach.
