Hi Chris, So you are compiling this in Eclipse using the same versions of everything as me, except you're on windows with mingw? Filip On Dec 14, 2007 4:30 PM, Chris Miller wrote:

Hi All,

I saw an earlier post that talked about this similar problem, but the only reply did not solve my problem.

I have eclipse 3.2.2, cdt 3.1.1.1

I have to use these versions because I am also using the cell SDK 2.1.

I am getting the error: expected primary-expression before ')' token expected primary-expression before '>' token

The line of code looks like: #include #include

namespace fs = boost::filesystem;

fs::path configPath(fs::initial_pathfs::path());

I have 'boost_filesystem' in my libraries (-l) section in my Linker tab.

I have '/usr/include/boost' in my include paths section (-l) in my compiler & debug options. (this is the right path)

I am wondering if this may be a problem with the version of eclipse/cdt that I'm using, or if someone else has had this problem and knows of a solution?

That's really odd, because the same thing (save for the masking of the namespace) worked for me on MinGW.

Fifth line down.

Yah, that's what I'm finding. I think I will enjoy it a lot if I can ever get it to work :-P Filip On Dec 17, 2007 3:15 PM, Chris Miller wrote:

Yes, that is correct. I don't know why boost wouldn't work on Linux. I haven't tested my code yet for Linux, but I think it should work.

Man, Boost sure is a pain to get working, even though it is nice once it's working.

For those who might run into the same error, the only thing that would work for me is to change my code to the following: #include #include

using namespace boost::filesystem;

//fs::path configPath(fs::initial_pathfs::path()); path configPath = system_complete(path("./appSettings.cfg", native));

Don't know why the boost samples don't work, but this does.

Are you sure this isn't a case of C++'s Most Vexing Parse? // This is a function declaration! fs::path configPath(fs::initial_pathfs::path()); --Michael Fawcett

If that's the case, then why is it an example on the Boost docs ;-)

Good question. I'm not the author, nor am I the maintainer. Try your code again like so: fs::path configPath((fs::initial_pathfs::path())); --Michael Fawcett
