How can I use the posix path on cygwin? I am trying to upgrade from 1.43 but macros BOOST_POSIX_API and BOOST_POSIX_PATH are now deprecated. Why forcing WINDOWS_API while it worked well before?

I have found the following code in boost/system/api_config.hpp. This makes it impossible to manually tweak these macros. Can I safely remove those lines from the file? Frédéric # if defined(BOOST_POSIX_API) || defined(BOOST_WINDOWS_API) # error user defined BOOST_POSIX_API or BOOST_WINDOWS_API not supported # endif // BOOST_POSIX_API or BOOST_WINDOWS_API specify which API to use // Cygwin/MinGW does not predefine _WIN32. // Standalone MinGW and all other known Windows compilers do predefine _WIN32 // Compilers that predefine _WIN32 or __MINGW32__ do so for Windows 64-bit builds too. # if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__) // Windows default, including MinGW and Cygwin # define BOOST_WINDOWS_API # else # define BOOST_POSIX_API # endif
