------------------------------+-------------------------
 I installed Boost 1.65.1 on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 using mac port. When I
 run the program tut1.cpp from the Boost Filesystem tutorial, the program
 fails to find files and directories that exist. The following simple test
 code returns 1 on linux and 0 on Mac OS:

 #include <iostream>
 #include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

 int main() {

   // This line should print 1 but it prints 0 on Mac OS
   std::cout << boost::filesystem::exists(".") << std::endl;

   return 0;
 }
