[boost] Réf. : Réf. : Re: [filesystem] building for cygwin

From: frederic.bron_at_[hidden]

Finally, I had a close look inside filesystem files and I discovered that to compile for cygwin 2 flags must be set: BOOST_POSIX_API and BOOST_POSIX_PATH! If only BOOST_POSIX_API, BOOST_WINDOWS_PATH
is set automatically. Why??? This is a strange behaviour.

Then:

- either change the doc and add that for cygwin compilation, BOOST_POSIX_PATH must be set as BOOST_POSIX_API,
- or change filesystem/config.hpp so that BOOST_POSIX_PATH is automatically set when BOOST_POSIX_API is set (I would prefer this solution).

My problem is that I compiled 1.34.0 with -DBOOST_POSIX_API and it did not produce what it was suppose to produce, i.e. posix paths.

I know it's possible because the cygwin package maintainer for boost
re-compiled the boost 1.33.1 package for me a while ago to include
-DBOOST_POSIX_API, to get the expected behavior on cygwin. If you post
this to the cygwin mailing list (you can get at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/ if you don't want to subscribe to
the mailing list), I'm sure he can help you out.
