Hi, I am trying to run the program fragment below (extracted from process_jam_log.cpp) that creates a file in a new directory using the filesystem library on cygwin. It fails to create the directory and the file without printing a warning. Note that I'm using native cygwin paths. When I change the path into 'd:/newdir/newfile' everything works as expected. When I define the macro BOOST_POSIX_API it doesn't even compile due to an undefined function status_api. Is this a bug in the library or am I missing something obvious? Best regards, Wieger #include "boost/filesystem/operations.hpp" #include "boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp" #include "boost/filesystem/exception.hpp" #include "boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp" #include <iostream> #include <string> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main() { fs::path pth( "/cygdrive/d/newdir/newfile" ); if ( !fs::exists( pth.branch_path() ) ) { fs::create_directories( pth.branch_path() ); } fs::ofstream file( pth ); if ( !file ) { std::cout << "*****Warning - can't open output file: " << pth.string() << "\n"; } return 0; } error message when BOOST_POSIX_API is defined: gcc.link bin/gcc/release/link-static/test.exe bin/gcc/release/link-static/test.o:test.cpp:(.text+0x4a1): undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::detail::status_api(std::basic_string<char, std::har_trait s<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, int&)' -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 8 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
