Re: [Boost-users] problem using boost::filesystem

I'm fiddling with the same stuff at the moment. The problem you're
having is that the way you compiled the boost::filesystem library is not
compatible with the stlport library (just check and you'll see that the
mangled names of the functions the linker needs contain the substring
_STL, whereas the corresponding mangled names in the library you're
linking with have the substring std in the same place instead). What you
could do is add the switch -d+2 to the bjam command line when you build
the library. It will show you the stlport library switches used.
 
I ended up copying the stuff that bjam printed to the terminal and
pasted it into a text editor. Then I changed all the switches that I
didn't think were right and saved the file as a batch file which I then
executed to build the library (yikes!). But as far as I can tell there
is no way to build boost "out of the box" with bjam using VC++ 6.0 and
stlport.
 
Anyway, with the exception of the filesystem::path::iterator all is
working ok using this approach.

Well, when i try boost::filesystem::path(“C:\\”,
boost::filesystem::native);
i get a linker error saying this:

Try boost::filesystem::path(“C:\\”, boost::filesystem::native);

 

You can also take a look at the examples under
<boost/libs/filesystem/example>

 

Hope this helps,
