The implication of those error messages is that something is really whacky about your dirent.h

I need to see the contents of dirent.h for the library you are using. Please either send me a copy or post a link to somewhere I can view it.

Thanks,

Hi!

No problem. I attached the header file. Looking into the header file, it seems that the features.h file might be of interest as well. Is my assumption correct, that the function that you are using is the readdir() function is this context? If yes, then the man page for readdir() gives the following hint:

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       readdir_r():
           _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE ||
           _SVID_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE

I also attached the output that the pre-processor is generating The output of the pre-processor has been created with the following command:

CC -E -library=stlport4 -xO4 -mt -erroff=%none -m64 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." libs/filesystem/v3/src/operations.cpp > ../operations.i

Cheers, Peter Loibl

One more hint from my side:

It seems that GNU-C++ does add -D_GNU_SOURCE automatically, CC does not. If I call CC and add -D_GNU_SOURCE to the compile arguments, then the source compiles fine :) Intel C++ seems to add -D_GNU_SOURCE automatically as well.

I attached the detailed call arguments for an empty C++ file for demonstration purposes.
