Finally, I had a close look inside filesystem files and I discovered that to compile for cygwin 2 flags must be set: BOOST_POSIX_API and BOOST_POSIX_PATH! If only BOOST_POSIX_API, BOOST_WINDOWS_PATH is set automatically. Why??? This is a strange behaviour. Then: - either change the doc and add that for cygwin compilation, BOOST_POSIX_PATH must be set as BOOST_POSIX_API, - or change filesystem/config.hpp so that BOOST_POSIX_PATH is automatically set when BOOST_POSIX_API is set (I would prefer this solution).

If you post this to the cygwin mailing list (you can get at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/ if you don't want to subscribe to the mailing list), I'm sure he can help you out. -Lewis frederic.bron@alcan.com wrote:

Maybe the developpers list can help? I try to have the POSIX behaviour under cygwin but get only the windows behaviour even if I compile the library and program with -DBOOST_POSIX_API. What should I do?

Unbelievable! It does not work anymore!!! I have rebuild again the library to be sure that g++ received well -DBOOST_POSIX_API and it does. However, here is the output of the small program printed below:

$ g++ -DBOOST_POSIX_API -I/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg/include -o toto toto.cc /cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg/lib/libboost_filesystem.a $ ./toto ..\toto\x.xml \cygdrive\d\toto\x.xml

should be ../toto/x.xml /cygdrive/d/toto/x.xml

What should I do?

F. Bron

#include <iostream> #include

namespace fs=boost::filesystem ;

int main() { fs::path x("../toto/x.xml") ; std::cout << x.file_string() << std::endl ; fs::path y("/cygdrive/d/toto/x.xml") ; std::cout << y.file_string() << std::endl ; return 0 ; }
