Hi,
I think there's something wrong with the installation routine
for the latest boost library (1.33.1-4) in cygwin.
Somehow one cannot change to that directory,
and because of that also the compiler cannot include stuff from there.
For example my C++ file (stattool.cpp) has the following include:
#include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp>
gc++ brings the following error:
stattool.cpp:8:43: boost/filesystem/operations.hpp: No such file or directory
The code compiles fine under Linux (Debian et al.).
The boost include directory is normally /usr/include/boost.
The following shell command gives the following output:
$ ls -l /usr/include/boo*
total 0
drwxrwx---+ 48 Administrator Benutzer 0 Oct 4 21:36 boost
But funny thing is: one cannot change to that directory :-)
$ cd /usr/include/boost
bash: cd: /usr/include/boost: No such file or directory
Maybe it's a symbolic link issue that's not working under Win2003 ?
DOS/Windows says:
dir \cygwin\usr\include\boo*
10/04/2008 09:36 PM <DIR> boost-1_33_1
and finally therein is the right directory named "boost".
So the boost library has got installed one level deeper
and somehow ls -l gives weird output (symbolic link issue?),
and the compiler cannot include header files in "boost" (ie. /usr/include/boost).
