Hi,

I tried this with <define>BOOST_WINDOWS_API but still
the test-program below gives me the output:
"Directory does not exist: c:" (and /tmp obviously
does exist). I also tried experimenting with
BOOST_WINDOWAS_PATH, but nothing seems to help. What
am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Andrej

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

using namespace boost::filesystem;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{	
  path p1("c:", native);
  path p2("/tmp", native);

  if (!exists(p1))
  {
    std::cerr << "Directory does not exist: " << p1;
    return 1;
  }

  if (!exists(p2))
  {
    std::cerr << "Directory does not exist: " << p2;
    return 1;
  }

  return 0;
}
