Is Boost.Filesystem broken on Cygwin?

Do the filesystem regressions pass?

I also tried now 'bjam.exe cxxflags=-DBOOST_CYGWIN_PATH -q': gcc.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/filesystem/test/path_test.test/gcc-3.4.4/debug/link-static/path_test.exe testing.capture-output ../../../bin.v2/libs/filesystem/test/path_test.test/gcc-3.4.4/debug/link-static/path_test.run ====== BEGIN OUTPUT ====== Platform is Windows (933) source.directory_string(): "/foo\bar\" != expected: "\foo\bar\" (934) source.directory_string(): "/\foo\bar\\" != expected: "\\foo\bar\\" (935) source.directory_string(): "/foo\\\bar\\\" != expected: "\foo\\\bar\\\" ../../../boost/test/minimal.hpp(117): test run_result == 0 || run_result == boost::exit_success failed in function: 'int main(int, char**)' **** 1 error detected Inserter and extractor test...foo/bar...foo/bar complete 3 errors detected EXIT STATUS: 201 ====== END OUTPUT ====== If I try 'bjam.exe -q' the Windows API is used for the test cases and I get a linker error (as I built all libraries with BOOST_POSIX_API). That's the only error I understand. :) Boris
