You need to make use of the directory_iterator to get the path of each
file.  Something like this:

#include <iostream>                      
#include <string>

#include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp>
#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost::filesystem;

int main()
{
    path full_path( initial_path() );
    const char* some_path = getenv ("HOME");
    full_path = system_complete (path (some_path, native));

    for (directory_iterator i (full_path); i != directory_iterator(); ++i)
        cout << i->native_file_string() << endl;
}
