I'm in the process of updating my code to use filesystem V3. I replaced all the V2 deprecated functions with V3 calls. I defined the macros:
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 
BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED

When compiling the file libs/filesystem/v3/src/path.cpp I get the following error:

 #error both BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATED and BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED are defined

The reason for this error is that in filesystem/v3/config.hpp has the following:

//  BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATED needed for source compiles
# ifdef BOOST_FILESYSTEM_SOURCE
#   define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATED
# endif

So i'm puzzled as to why BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DEPRECATED is forced when compiling path.cpp? And how can I avoid theses erros when compiling filesystem V3?

Thanks
