The double backslashes are not valid at those locations in a Windows native path.
Those are single backslashes once the bash shell gets done with them and they become arguments to "ls".
OK, so that case will work too. But I was wrong about the current code always working. It will work if BOOST_WINDOWS is defined, but not for BOOST_POSIX. To make that a bit clearer, the current path implementation has code like: #if defined(BOOST_WINDOWS) // accept native Windows format paths ... #endif The #if needs to be changed to: #if defined(BOOST_WINDOWS) || defined(__CYGWIN__) Thanks, --Beman
