[Filesystem] Anyone interested in testing Boost.Filesystem on MinGW?

There is an outstanding bug report for Boost.Filesystem on MinGW. Without someone willing to test on that platform, I can't really resolve the problem, or even know if it still exists. So if you are interested, please let me know. --Beman

Not to detract from your main point, but MinGW is not really a platform, it's basically a g++ compiler for Windows. http://www.mingw.org/

Are you referring to ticket #559? If so, I built 1.34.1 from the top, i.e. I ran bjam toolset=gcc-3.4.5 stage Which is the MinGW gcc 3.4.5 compiler on my PC and got no filesystem related error whatsoever. The only errors I found regard the serialization library and are triggered by a #error directive. I also rebuilt the filesystem library by changing directory to libs/filesystem/build and running bjam -a toolset=gcc-3.4.5 and again I got no errors. I would say you may close the ticket.

I can test it, via cygwin and -mno-cygwin flag. Regards, F.

Builds OK for me with 1.34.1 and MingW gcc-3.4.2. There are a few test failures: symlinks don't work, and anything that expects wide character support doesn't compile. But I assume that these are "expected". John.

Same for me. However, there is still the problem of the missing "inline" in convenience.hpp but this comes after the build, when using the library. F.
