Yeah, i just realized that i was running an older version and i read somewhere that they took it out in 1.34. I'll try what you suggested though, thanks! On 6/17/07, me22 wrote:

How do i create hidden directories with the boost filesystem in linux? if i call create_directory(".test"), it gives me an error

Are you still using 1.33.1? That would run afoul of the name checker in older versions, but I think it should work fine 1.34, as the obligatory name checking was removed.

In 1.33.1 you need something like create_directory( path(".test", path::native) )
